Troubleshooting Cleaning the Mill
 If the motor wi l l not start.
Simply rotate the grain funnel to the coarse setting (counter-
clockwise direction) until the motor starts. Then adjust the stones
again to the desired setting.
 If the motor stalls during operation.
This generally stems from overheating due to improper usage – a
built-in thermal cut-off switch stops the motor to prevent serious
damage. Unplug the power cord and allow the mill to cool down
for a few minutes. Then you should be able to resume the milling. If
the problem recurs, then you need to troubleshoot the source: Is
the grain too moist? Are the millstones or the mill chamber
clogged? Is there a foreign object caught between the millstones?
Did you turn the mill on with the hopper full and the millstones at
the finest grind setting?
If the grain is too moist, then the millstones could be smeared and
clogged. In this case, the normal grinding becomes much more
quiet, and very little flour exits the flour spout. Simply adjust the
funnel to a coarser setting, and resume milling with an appropriate
grain. The millstones will clean themselves.
Whenever you grind at the coarse setting, the millstones and mill
chamber are cleaned automatically. If you do not plan to use your
mill for a longer period of time, such as during a vacation, we
recommend that you clean the millstones from all residue. Using a
household vacuum cleaner simplifies this task. Turn on the mill with
the millstones at the coarse setting. Hold the vacuum nozzle in front of
the flour spout.
If the millstones are smeared with an oily residue, you can clean
them by grinding a cup or so of wheat or rice at the medium setting
to remove all trace.
You can also remove the millstones to clean them with a brush.
However, it is very important whenever you handle the millstones or
the milling chamber, that you first unplug the power cord! Then,
remove the grain funnel by unscrewing it in the counter-clockwise
direction. You can then remove the millstones, and clean them with
a brush. In handling the millstones, take special care not to lose the
two small, steel springs located in the plastic housing of the lower
millstone.

Motor Stalling During Operation

Stalling stems from overheating; unplug and cool. Check grain moisture, clogging, or foreign objects if problem recurs.

Moist Grain Issues

Moist grain clogs millstones. Adjust to a coarser setting to allow millstones to self-clean.

Cleaning the Mill

Automatic Cleaning Procedure

Grind at the coarse setting for automatic cleaning. Use vacuum nozzle at the flour spout.

Removing Oily Residue

Clean oily residue by grinding a cup of wheat or rice at the medium setting.

Manual Millstone Cleaning

Operating Instructions

Grain Preparation Guidelines

Use clean, dry grain. Check dryness by cracking. Avoid oily grains at the finest grind setting.

Specific Grain Grinding Notes

Do not grind popcorn. Use regular corn for corn meal/polenta. Oily grains require care.

Mill Housing Care

Protect the solid wood housing from heat and moisture to prevent warping.

Electrical and Safety Precautions

Use AC current matching mill specs. Place on a level surface, ensure ventilation.

Usage and Supervision

For household use only. Never leave unattended. Keep children away from the mill during operation.

Adjusting Grind Fineness

Finding the Finest Grind Setting

Turn mill on, rotate hopper clockwise until stones touch, then back slightly to find finest setting.

Adjusting While Grinding

Rotate hopper while grinding to adjust fineness. Avoid fine setting with mill off and grain inside.
