Care and Cleaning
Normal functioning of the mill means that small amounts of flour
will be left in the milling chamber. When using the mill regularly, we
recommend to clean it every three months. If you do not intend to use your
mill over a period of some weeks, we recommend that for hygienic reasons
you have to clean it thoroughly, in order to avoid mildew.
To do this, mill a handful of rice or grain at a “coarse setting” afterwards
open the mill and using a vacuum cleaner remove all residue flour from the
milling chamber. Leave the mill open and if at hand place a few bay leaves
inside.
Moths love the dark and their peace and will only start attacking any wood if
they are faced with extreme emergency. If you constantly use your mill you
will not offer moths any comfortable surroundings. Prior to delivery the
knurled nut has been oiled, but application of a little sewing machine oil will
ensure long-life of your mill.
The outer surfaces of your mill need only to be
wiped with a damp cloth and then dried at once. Occasionally roughen the
outside surfaces with sand paper and then treat them with beeswax oil.
Milling Process
Fill appropriate material into the funnel.
Using the clamps supplied with the mill fix it firmly onto a stable table –
table corner.
Slowly begin to rotate in a clockwise direction. The degree of fineness of the
flour can be adjusted during the milling process.
Please see the chapter on „Adjusting the degree of fineness.”
