Usually you unscrew the top knob and lift off the salt part to add peppercorns.

Turn it base up. Remove the base. The chrome portion separates into two peaces. Inside is a battery pack. Remove the battery pack andd add peppercorns. Rem....bas up or you will spill peppercorns.

That is not the one I own, but you probably just have to unscrew the top for the salt and the bottom for the pepper.

Hi. It opens from the bottom. You have to twist the cap to put in the batteries and the peppercorns. See the instructions.

I unscrew the bottom part (the silver area) then you will see a silver wire to lift up and turn. That's the hard part. I usually get my husband to do that. This will pull the battery part out. then fill the pepper to the red fill line you can see inside.

If right handed, grasp the top holding the salt and grasp the bottom holding the pepper. Hold as upright as possible and pull to separate. The part holding the salt will come off revealing an opening to replace the peppercorns. separate the two sections carefully or you will have to sweep up peppercorns from the floor.

Bummer! Mine just opened right up, but when I close it, I have to twist firmly to get it to "click" all the way closed. I have a trick I use when I can't get a jar open-maybe it will work for this: hold the container upside down, and smack it sharply on the counter top. You may have to do it a couple of times, but it always works on jars! Just make sure you keep it level, so you don't break the container...good luck & sorry I couldn't help more...

With the side with crystal chips facing you, the part that opens is on the left. If you try to open it by pulling it straight up, it won't open. So, you have to pull it open from left to right by grasping with one or two fingers placed under the loop closest to the left side and then pulling diagonally across to the right. Then, the loop with unwind from there. Hope this helps. It opens pretty easy once you get it.

Turn the bottom to open. Pull the handle so that the battery compartment is removed. This will allow the mill to be refilled. Additionally, we noticed that the batteries corrode if left in the compartment without use. This happened with the second mill we purchased for sea salt.

The top pulls straight off and there are two doors that easily open and you just pour the salt and pepper into their respective places. The top goes on back on easily and no worries about getting it on right - it only goes one way. Hope this helps -

Twist the center and it opens up into two pieces. Place the pepper pearls in there and re attach the top. The harder part is replacing the salt. It's very hard to open and you have to twist the clear top but there is nothin to grip. I ended up buying another one. This was too much trouble.

Ok here's the deal...the lid screws off but the shaker top does not screw off it pulls out. It took me a while to figure out myself. I hope you enjoy the product as much as I have!!

I have had both of mine for quite awhile and can't remember, but it seems like there were some solid black peppercorns which I threw out. I like to use the colored peppercorns and also the pink himalayan salt. They just give it that added touch. Love both of them!

Easy. You just pull off/pry up the top portion of the pepper mill and two little holes are revealed. You fill the mill through those.

It is very odd to open I had trouble when I received mine also. Instead of using the lip on the lid, grab the smooth sides beside the lip and pull to open.

There should be a small screw cap that would be inside the pepper mill to keep the handle in place. In fact, the tighter the cap, the finer the grind of pepper, and the looser the cap, the coarser the grind. So, after fitting the handle on the top of the mill, screw on the cap. I've had mine since 2004, and I've never had a jingle or other sound other than the grinding of the pepper.

I ordered the pepper mill and received the salt grinder. The company did not offer to send me the pepper mill. You may have the salt grinder if the top is the only thing that comes off (where you fill it.) I already have a pepper mill and I love it. I was buying it for a friend. Try to order it from another company.

There is no battery. It is a hand grinder. Turn it right for salt, left for pepper but I need a 2d hand to hold the mill while I turn it with the other. To refill,you have to pull the top off. You might have some difficulty in pulling the top off unless you can brace the bottom somehow. Refilling it is just a matter of scooping the salt/pepper into a narrow opening. I use a pointed spoon to get the peppercorns and salt crystals into the small openings. More a matter of patience than strength. With the need to use 2 hands to operate the mill and pull the top off, this might not be mill for you. There is no battery. It is a hand grinder.

I cannot open mine either. Can't send it back as it is over a month since I bought it. I ordered a different kind of lock. Very disappointed...Alma

Sometimes I have trouble with the pepper grinder opening, but then I push the pieces together and then twist. This helps me out and gets the unit undone.

I completely disagree with D. Harmon's criticisms of this pepper mill. You shouldn't have to take the center spindle out. I took off the handle and metal cap and was able to form a ring with my thumb and index finger around the top of the opening to help me funnel at least two ounces of pepper corns with the other hand. It was a snap. And to answer the question. I received my pepper mill in the same manner; in bubble wrap with a few pepper corns inside. This is truly a gorgeous piece of craftsmanship. The mechanism to grind the pepper does an excellent job. I bought this as a gift for someone but wanted to keep it for myself. I completely disagree with D. Harmon's criticisms of this pepper mill.
