how do you get the top of the salt part off?

I never do. I just twist the top clear plastic until the large opening is exposted and pour the salt in carefully.

I can't answer your question. I had 2 delivered and they were both broken due to poor packaging.

After much work and loss of fingernails. It was the reason I ended up with another brand. You have to used something to pry it open and eventually it breaks.

I've never tried to get the top off to add salt. I just use the spout of the salt container and put it into the opening of the salt portion of the shaker or you could use a small funnel to fill it.

I don't think you can take the top off the salt portion. You fill it by taking apart the two sections (where the black line is in the picture) then load the salt in the bottom.I'd try to look at mine to tell you, but my mother-in-law melted it trying to cook on my stove top a while ago so I had to throw it away.

It's a huge pain, I always used pliers. The threads would get caked with salt, and it would bind.

I haven't actually ever refilled the salt but I remember that several other reviewers posted instructions on how to refill the salt. Good luck!

No, you turn the top one direction for salt and the other direction for pepper. At first we didn't realize that we need to remove the bottom piece or else all of the ground salt and/or pepper just gets trapped in it. It is actually the funnel to use when refilling the salt and pepper and it is just stored on the unit as the base.

Turn the top part from one marking on the bottom to the other marking. This will loosen the entire top of unit. Make a funnel from a piece of paper and pour the salt into the funneland into the base unit. When it is full place the entire top part with the center piece aligned on the center projecting rod and align the hash marks on the top unit and the bottom unit. I use sea salt. J Wynn

There is a white piece that can be popped out of the piece that screws on the top. But you have to unscrew the top, turn it upside down to pop it out and then basically you have to leave it out. I just leave it in take as unscrew the whole top off to drink out of it

You need to hold the bottom and pull the whole top off. Just be careful. If you have peppercorn in there already, they could fly out.

Remove the stuck on the remnants with a scraper and then gently wipe it down with a moist washcloth. Salt blocks cure like stoneware, and will turn a delicious caramel color with repeated use. Bacteria that hurt people cannot grow on pure salt, so there is no risk of contamination.

Unscrew the shaker top. It's ridiculous that they don't give you instructions, but it's much easier than it seems. Even thought the shaker top doesn't particularly look like it comes off, it does. Just grasp it on the sides at the top, turn counter-clockwise and it will unscrew. Then you can screw on the applicator, and it fits perfectly.

Pull the top half (actually one third) straight up and it will come off. You then add the pepper corns.

The mill separates just below the top (salt container) by pulling the the two parts apart.

The lid pulls off, then remove clear plastic cover. The bottom also pulls off so it can be used as a funnel to fill the salt and pepper sides.

take off the cap and carefully cut off the tip...just enough so that it comes out

The pepper part is easy. You just pull the top part up and it comes apart. I had a problem figuring out the salt part.

Add normal table salt to the gel. Let sit and shake the base for a bit. Dump out the liquid.

The lids are twist tops. some of the ingredients may be wedged just gonna take some elbow grease. If it is salt crystals try soaking it in warm water for an hour or so.. contents will be ruined, but at least you got the cap off make sure it is thoroughly dried before replacing the cover.

The silver band lets you in screw the top. But the screw and thread parts get fouled with salt and won't detach. I had no trouble filling them until the salt seized with humidity and we washed the grinder glass. That ruined the salt grinder. The pepper grinder is still working well.
