Operating and Cleaning Instructions

Stones Must Be Primed

It is necessary to prime the stones before using the flour. To do this run two cups of wheat through on the cereal setting and then rerun the same four thorough again and throw away this flour.

Your Grain Must Be Dry.

Grain absorbs moisture. If you live in a moist climate, or if it is winter time, or even if your grain has been sealed in a vacuumed pack it still could contain moisture. If your grinder gums up the grain is wet. To dry your grain you can put it in a shallow pan and put it in the oven on low for a short time and the grain will dry out.

Adjustments:

Move the adjustment lever at the front of the motor to change the flour settings.The markings Cereal, Bread.and Cake on the motor will help you in selecting the texture that you desire. After a few times you will learn to adjust it for flour or cereal. Most people grind the flour for bread to fine. We suggest that the flour be a little gritty when you rub it between your fingers. we have found this to make the best bread.

Stainless Steel Lid

Never lift off the metal lid before all the grains have been ground, or the grains will fall into the flour below

Soy Beans Or Flax Seed

When grinding these they sometimes tend to clog up the grinder. So we suggest that you grind them with a dry grain

Cleaning:

The hopper and the milling chamber can be kept clean by cleaning all excess flour dust from the interior with a soft brush. any stubborn accumulations of flour can be quickly removed by using a damp cloth and rubbing gently, periodic cleaning of your grinder will keep it operating smoothly for many years to come.

Using The Hand Crank:

Note. We offer a hand crank for your grinder for you to use in case of a power outage. This is an optional item and if you don’t have one see our parts page to order one.

Note the hand crank was designed to stay on the shaft only if there is pressure applied to it. That way if you quit grinding the handle will fall off, this was designed this way for safety reasons.To use take off the red cap cover from the motor shaft. and simply slip the handle on the end of the shaft.

Note first unplug the grinder from the electricity. Extremely dangerous to mill and operator if instructions are ignored.We are not liable for any accidents resulting from using this hand crank.

What To Do If Stones Are Plugged

Open the adjustment on the grinder make sure the stones are apart as far as they will go. Then grind two or three cups of dry corn or pop corn.then regrind the same corn moving the stones a little closer together.Do this procedure at least two more times, and your grinder will be ready to grind again.

Cautions:

Do not operate grinder while in physical contact with water.

Do not cut off or bypass the electrical ground supplied with this unit. It is important that you always operate your grinder with the three prong electrical plug, which is furnished with the machine

Do not operate your grinder without the hopper lid being in place! Because of fast moving stones, long hair, loose clothing may get caught in the exposed stones if grinder is operated without lid being in place

Do not use grinder for grinding any purpose other then grinding dry grains.

Do not place any objects in the intake hole such as knives, fingers, sticks, screws, Placing any foreign objests in the hole of your grinder is very dangerous and can cause permanent damage. And such action invalidates the grinder warranty.

Please note, Grinding rocks, steel nuts or ball bearings will harm the stones and will void the waranty
