cannot be switched on

stillstand mode from
„coarse“ to „fine“
although whole grain
kernels were between
the mill stones.
Reset the mill to a coarser
setting and then adjust slowly
to a finer setting

Dry grain
Grain was milled too
finely
Adjust the mill to a coarser
setting – especially when
milling oily grain such as rye

kernels e.g. Quinoa
were processed
Fill very small grain kernels
slowly by hand into the
hopper.
Please dry damp grain
and/or use a coarser setting.
