Quick guide from the manual
This guide provides essential instructions for using and maintaining your Zwilling Spice Mill. The device is designed for grinding salt, pepper, and dried herbs. To ensure longevity, avoid using the mill directly over steam or boiling water, as this can cause the mechanism to jam.
Filling and Grinding
The spice mill is designed for easy filling and operation:
- Filling: Open the mill to fill it with your chosen spices, such as cumin, coriander, garlic, ginger, fennel, chili flakes, or mustard seeds.
- Grinding: Turn the base clockwise to grind. You can use the mill with or without the cover cap.
Adjusting Grind Size
You can customize the coarseness of your spices:
- Turn the adjustment dial slightly to the left or right to set the desired grinding level, ranging from coarse to fine.
- Important: When adjusting, ensure the two ceramic parts do not touch each other to avoid abrasion and damage to the ceramic grinder.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Regular maintenance is required to keep the spice mill functioning correctly, as spices and herbs contain oils.
Regular Cleaning
The most effective way to clean the mill regularly is to grind a small amount of coarse salt. To remove residual odors, you can grind a small amount of uncooked rice.
Deep Cleaning the Ceramic Mechanism
If a more thorough cleaning is required, follow these steps:
- Unscrew the adjustment dial.
- Remove the ceramic cone from inside the mechanism.
- Clean the ceramic cone under hot water using a small brush.
- Do not use soap or cleaning agents on the ceramic parts.
- Ensure the ceramic cone is completely dry before reassembling (allow at least 24 hours for drying).
Clean the exterior of the mill with a damp cloth and wipe it dry with a kitchen towel.
