Cleaning · Faults
The mill is on, but no flour is emitted:
If the grain is too wet or e. g. if spelt and oats are
ground too finely, the grindstones may be “smeared”.
Solution:
•
Mill approximately 100 g brown rice (semi-coarse
setting)
• If necessary, open the grinder and remove any
leftovers (see the section “Opening the grinder”
for this)
The mill turns off while in use:
Debris or
clogged grindstones may cause the mill come to a
standstill. In such a case, the overcurrent circuit
breaker automatically deactivates the mill after
approximately 20 seconds.
Solution:
•
Remove any debris and/or after the mill has cooled
off, mill approximately 100 g brown rice (semi-
coarse setting)
The adjusting lever cannot be pushed to the
“fine” setting:
If an overfilled flour bowl causes e. g. the flour to
back up, this may jam the grinder. There is leftover
grain or debris in the grinder.
Solution:
•
When the mill is running, change to the “coarse”
setting and allow the grinder to run without any
mill feed
• If necessary open the grinder and remove any
leftover flour and/or debris. If the grindstones are
heavily laden, clean them with a dry, hard brush
(for this, see the section “Opening the grinder”)
Cleaning
A brush is integrated in the bottom rotating
grindstone of your hawos, which sweeps out the flour
with every rotation, thereby automatically cleaning
the mill.
If you don’t intend to use your mill for a prolonged
period of time, we recommend cleaning any leftover
flour out of the grinder. This is very easy with a
vacuum cleaner. Set the adjusting lever to “coarse”
and then, after having turned off the mill, insert the
vacuum cleaner nozzle into its funnel and flour
outlet.
Do not in any case clean the housing with abrasive
cleaners. Never immerse the unit in water! If
necessary, clean the housing with a damp cloth and
then rub in a small amount of vegetable oil to
preserve the surface.
Faults
In the unlikely event of a fault, you can rectify it
easily:
The motor doesn’t start:
Is the mill connected to
a power supply? Has the plug been properly
connected with a socket?
Solution:
•
Check both points and rectify the fault
The motor hums, but doesn’t start running:
When turning off the unit, grain may have clogged
between the grindstones and may have jammed
them.
Solution:
• Set the adjusting lever to “coarse” with the motor
turned on until the milling process starts again
• Slowly set the lever back to “fine” (page 4,
figure 5)
Opening the grinder

Opening the grinder
Attention! Turn off the mill with the On/Off
switch and then disconnect the mains plug
before opening the housing to prevent the device
from accidentally turning on – risk of injury!
•
Remove the two brass screws on the left and right
side (page 4, figure 1)
•
Lift off the funnel (page 4, figure 2)
•
(Firmly!) turn the top grindstone up against the
plastic ring counterclockwise until you are able to
remove it (figure 6)
In order to reassemble the mill, position the mill so
that the flour outlet is pointing towards you.
•
Place the top grindstone on the inner plastic ring
such that it is completely level
•
The black mark must be at “6 o’clock” over the
retainer (figure 7)
•
Push the stone down gently from above and screw
it back until it locks into place (one complete
revolution and then to approximately “10
o’clock”).See Figure 8 for this
Make sure the foam rubber ring is properly seated.
You can now return the funnel to its previous
position and secure it with the two brass screws
(figure 9).

stone by turning
it counterclock-

The black
marks must be

When screwing
the grindstone
back into place,
make sure that
it does not tilt.

gasket is
properly seated

the funnel to its
previous
position and
secure it with
the brass
screws.
