Under some circumstances, hard peppercorns can block the mill's grinding mechanism.
Grains of salt can also block the grinding mechanism because they absorb moisture or
have different levels of hardness. If this happens, turn the mill upside-down and press the
button (2) to release the pepper or salt from the grinding mechanism. If necessary, you
can also shake the mill gently as you do so to help release the blockage.
