Operation in general

The mechanism consists of an axle with a grating surface  that is pushed through a narrow opening, simply by pressing the button with the thumb, like a ballpoint pen.

If that is not the case,  can this be the result of too little pepper in the container. Also when the mill only contains small fragments during use, it can happen that the grater does not 'catch' them. In both cases it helps to first turn the mill, and if necessary fill it with new pepper.

Filling the mill

Unscrew the bottom segment and fill the container upside down for a maximum of 50%, until the pepper becomes visible in the window of the container. Keep the axle as much as possible in the middle, so that the unscrewed segment can be replaced without force. Do not tighten it unnecessarily hard. This is not necessary and can damage the thread.

The mill requires little maintenance. If you want to clean the container, unscrew it. Wash the mill with lukewarm soapy water, not in the dishwasher. Assemble the mill once all parts are completely dry.
