Peugeot – What should I do if my mill isn’t working?

If the mill is empty, fill the reservoir with the appropriate spice.
The mill has been filled with the wrong spice. Empty the reservoir and replace the content with the appropriate spice.

Should wet sea salt ever be used in the mill, it will need cleaning more frequently as the teeth on the mechanism will clog easily. A wet sea salt will also cause oxidation of the stainless steel shaft. This is only surface discolouration and can be very easily removed by cleaning.
If the salt mill appears to have rust on the metal shaft, it would be wise to check that you are using the correct dry sea salt or rock salt. The mill will need the surface oxidation cleaned from the shaft and then it can be used again. This surface oxidation will not have attacked the stainless steel other than a thin layer exposed to the air.

What if the light no longer shines?

Check that the reservoir contacts and the motor unit contacts are clean; clean them with a dry cloth if necessary.
Ensure that the bulb is in place. If it is in place, it may not be making contact, so remove and reinsert it.
The light bulb is missing or has burnt out. If burnt out, remove it by pulling. Replace the missing or burnt out bulb by inserting the spare bulb into the slot.

The motor is working, but the mill does not grind:
