2. Use only thoroughly cleaned grain. Unclean grain may contain small stones that can damage the
millstones.
3. Only use dry grain!! Moist grain will lead to the build-up of a thick residue on the Millstone. Testing
whether grain is dry enough for milling by squashing a sample of it with the back of a spoon against a
hard surface. If it cracks loudly, the grain is dry. If it flattens under pressure, looking something like a
rolled oat, then it is moist (or oily).
4. This grain mill is designed for normal household use. It is not suitable for commercial use.
5. Never leave your mill unattended during operating. Always keep it out of reach of children.
6. Do not clean the mill by inserting pointed objects into the milling chamber or using running water.
7. The housing of this grain mil is made of solid wood. Please keep away from stove, other heat sources,
sink, running water, or any other liquids.
8. Do not operate with damaged plug or electrical cord. If the plug is damaged, it must be replaced by
the manufacturer.
9. Keep the ventilation slots unobstructed.
Selecting grain
1. Use only thoroughly cleaned grain. Unclean grain may contain small stones that can damage the
millstones.
2. Only use dry grain!! Moist grain will lead to the build-up of a thick residue on the Millstone. Testing
whether grain is dry enough for milling by squashing a sample of it with the back of a spoon against a
hard surface. If it cracks loudly, the grain is dry. If it flattens under pressure, looking something like a
rolled oat, then it is moist (or oily).
3. Oily / fatty foods
Please refrain from milling nuts or oily foods such as sesame, flax, or poppy seeds. Even coffee beans
contain a great deal of oil, which leaves a film on the milling stones, rendering them incapable of
processing the grain properly. However, you have the option to mill oily products or fresh herbs by
milling them together with dry grains.
Before first use
Please mill a handful of grain on Middle Scale and then discard the flour. This will remove any mineral
debris from the manufacturing process on the milling stones.
1. Plug in the power cord.
2. Position container or bowl beneath the outlet spout.
3. Switch on the mill.
4. Adjust the grind (texture) setting.
5. Pour grain into the hopper to begin milling. Readjust the grind setting as required to produce flour at
the desired texture.
6. When finished milling, switch off the mill and unplug the power cord.
Adjusting the fineness of the milled product
To adjust the grind setting, simply rotate the hopper. You can continually adjust the grind setting between
coarse and fine, even during the grinding process. To locate the finest setting, turn on the mill with the
grain hopper empty, and rotate the hopper clockwise in the 'fine' direction until you hear the mill stones
grinding against one another. Then slightly rotate the hopper counterclockwise until the grinding sound
stops. This setting offers the least space between the millstones and is therefore the finest. (For spelt and
rye, use about a finger's width towards the direction of 'coarse'. For oats, use even a little more). The scale
below the hopper can help you remember your preferred settings, although the point on the scale for a
given texture may vary slightly with the changing temperature and humidity in the room where mill is
used.
CAUTION: If the mill is switched off and the hopper still contains grain, do not adjust the setting
towards 'fine'. This could jam the remaining flour and grain between the millstones, causing the motor to
bind. Adjust to a coarse setting, switch on the mill, and then readjust the setting as desired.
