Problems and Solutions
Problem
Cause
Solution
There is no
flour output
The crank cannot be
turned.
The knurled nut has
not been correctly
countered (locked) or
has been turned too
tightly!
This means that the
mill stones will be
turned tighter and
tighter together, so
that milling is no
longer possible.
Please see page 4.
Smeared Mill stones
Should you see a white
ring on the outer edge
of the mill stones that
is a clear sign that
you have been milling
either damp grain,
been milling too finely
or milling oily kernels
(e.g. linseeds).
Oily kernels stick
between the mill
stones, make them
become so smeared ,
that milling is no
longer possible.
Unfortunately you can
only feel your way
through processing
„damp grain”.
The mill stones do,
however, react very
sensitively towards
dampness.
If you are not sure dry
the grain for half an
hour in your oven and
then let it cool
properly.
Metal shavings in the
flour
The knurled nut was
not assembled
correctly
Please control if you
have assembled the
knurled nut with the
spigot facing upwards
Too little flour
production
The knurled nut was
either fastened too
tightly or not
correctly secured
(countered).
Open the the knurled
nut in steps until yyou
have the degree of
fineness required and
then lock (counter) the
same. Correct locking
