Running in
First you should run the mill in. Do this by milling approx. 30 grams (one tablespoon) of dry
grains (wheat, millet or barley are particularly suitable for this) at a medium setting. Turn
the handle anti-clockwise.
The first time you use the mill, abrasion of the millstone occurs which is perfectly harmless
to health but can contain stone particles. That’s why it is not suitable for consumption.
Warning
Please never turn the disc to tight, if the grinding stones grate one against the other, they
can smooth and the function is no more given.
Filling in
To fill in the grains, remove the cover of the opening. Push the cover on the left, so it lifts
up at the right. The filling works optimally with the storage container Moritz. Otherwise
you can also use a grain shovel.
Suitable grains
You can use the mill to grind all types of grain, no popcorn. To grind oil seeds, mix them
with dry grains. If you grind oat types with a gigh oil content at fine settings, the grinding
mechanism may clog (see cleaning and care)
Cleaning and care
Normally it is not necessary to clean the grinding mechanism. However, if it does become
clogged (e.g. with moist cereal or oil seeds), we recommend grinding a handful of rice at a
medium setting. Rice is very dry and brittle so it lifts off the sticky residues and cleans the
grinding mechanism.
Due to a surface treatment of beeswax balm the mill is protected from dirt.
You can clean the mill housing with a damp cloth; never apply water directly.
Do not keep the mill in an extremely dry place (above a source of heat) or an extremely
moist place (water vapour above a cooker). This could cause the wood to warp.
