NutriMill Classic High Speed Electric Grain Mill

Introduction

The NutriMill Classic is a high-performance electric grain mill designed to provide fresh, nutritious flour from a variety of grains. Unlike commercially processed flours that often remove vital nutrients, milling your own ensures maximum nutritional value and superior taste. This manual provides essential information for the safe and effective operation, maintenance, and care of your NutriMill Classic.

The NutriMill Classic utilizes a high-speed impact chamber with durable stainless steel milling heads, offering precise control over flour texture from super fine to coarse. Its advanced design allows for grain loading before activation and reliable restarts, even if grinding is interrupted. Enjoy the convenience of quickly producing fresh flour for all your baking needs.

Operating Instructions

The NutriMill Classic is designed for ease of use. Follow these steps to mill your grains:

4. Start Milling: Turn the Motor control dial to the 'ON' position. The powerful 10 amp, 1-3/4 hp motor will begin grinding the grain.
5. Monitor Process: The mill will quickly process the grain, with the fresh flour collecting in the flour bin. The unit is designed to operate dust-free.
6. Finish Milling: Once all grain has been processed, turn the Motor control dial to the 'OFF' position and unplug the unit.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your NutriMill Classic, please refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:

• Mill Not Starting: Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Check that the motor control dial is set to 'ON'.
• Poor Grind Quality: Verify that you are using suitable dry grains. Adjust the Feed Rate control dial to a finer setting if the flour is too coarse. Ensure the hopper is not overfilled, which can sometimes affect consistency.
• Unusual Noise: A certain level of noise is normal during operation, comparable to a vacuum cleaner. If you hear unusual grinding or rattling noises, ensure no foreign objects have entered the hopper. Unplug the unit immediately and inspect.
• Overheating: The NutriMill Classic features an advanced airflow design to keep flour temperatures low (around 118°F). If the unit feels excessively hot, ensure it is not obstructed and has adequate ventilation. Allow it to cool down before resuming operation.
