Refer to our video on how to assemble the pepper mill. Grinding preferences: You can determine the coarseness you wish to produce by adjusting the screw at the bottom accordingly. For a finer grind, turn the screw clockwise and counter clockwise for a coarser grind. Grinds directly over food. The Alexander salt mill has a strong plastic grinding mechanism and can be used to grind coarse salt. It is also not recommended to use grey, salt flakes, wet salt or large salt crystals as this will clog the mechanism. Note: Prior to using your mill for the first time please pass a few pepper corns through then discard in order to clean the inner mechanism. These Salt and Pepper mills naturally patina over time, adding desired character and that vintage look. Use a brass cleaner to make them shiny again.
