GRAIN TO FLOUR RATIO
You will want to adjust the amount of grain you add to the hopper so the
flour bowl does not overfill.
Overfilling the flour bowl may cause the mill to clog. The bowl will hold
21 to 22 cups of flour. You will get about 21 cups of flour from 13 cups
of hard wheat when milled at a medium texture. This texture is ideal for
most breads.
The amount of flour you get from a cup of grain varies with the type of
grain and how finely it is milled. Fine milling produces a greater volume
of flour than coarse milling.
NOTE
- Soft grains like oats and beans will produce a greater volume of
flour. With the hopper extension ring in place only fill hopper 2/3 to 3/4
full of soft grains to avoid overfilling the flour bowl!
TEXTURE CONTROL GUIDE
The Motor Speed Control Knob (Upper Knob)
The motor speed helps determine the texture of your flour or meal.
• For most flour, turn knob to the left.
• For very coarse flour and medium fine corn
meal, turn knob to the right.
• For heavy flour & dense textured breads,
select a middle setting. Adjust for desired
results in the future based on your
experience.
The Feed Rate Knob (Lower Knob)
This is the ON-OFF switch and a valve that
controls how quickly the grains can flow into the
mill. (You can look under the inlet cover and see how this valve opens
and closes.)
• For finer flour set the dial towards 11:00 – 12:00. (Most grains will
not flow at less than a 10:00 position on the dial.)
• For coarse flour turn the dial toward the right.
• Large items such as beans won’t begin to flow until the dial is turned
far to the right.
• Texture results also vary with the kind of grain being milled. Soft
grains, such as oats, mill much finer than hard grains. Hard wheat
mills more coarsely than soft wheat.
