Components Included:

• 1 x Malt Mill (Grinding Unit)
• 4 x Hoppers (for grain feeding)
• 1 x Gear Motor
• 2 x Rollers (pre-installed in the grinding unit)

Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Inspect for any damage.
2. Assembly:
   • Attach the hopper to the top of the grinding unit. Ensure it is securely fastened.
   • Connect the gear motor to the grinding unit as shown in the product images. Ensure all connections are firm.
3. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, clean the grinding unit and hopper with water. Ensure all parts are completely dry before assembly and operation. Note: There is no need to coat vegetable oil on the surface of rollers during the production process.
4. Placement: Place the assembled grain mill on a stable, flat surface.

Operating Instructions

1. Adjusting Roller Gap: The mill features adjustable rollers with a gap spacing range of 0 - 2.5mm. To adjust, loosen the stainless knurled adjustment screws on the side of the grinding unit, set the desired gap, and then tighten the screws firmly. A smaller gap results in finer flour.
2. Loading Grains: Ensure the mill is unplugged. Pour the desired grains (e.g., cereals, wheat, coffee beans) into the 4L capacity hopper.
3. Power On: Plug the power cord into a 110V electrical outlet. Locate the power switch (often on the motor housing or control box) and turn it to the 'ON' position. The motor will start, and the rollers will begin to turn at 75 RPM.
4. Grinding Process: The knurled rollers are designed to efficiently pull grain through while leaving the hull intact, which can form an excellent filter bed for sparging. The output rate is approximately 20kg (44 pounds) per hour.
5. Monitoring: Observe the grinding process. Ensure grains are feeding consistently and the output is as desired.
6. Power Off: Once grinding is complete, turn the power switch to the 'OFF' position and unplug the unit from the wall outlet.

Maintenance

• Cleaning After Each Use: Unplug the unit. Use a dry brush or cloth to remove any residual flour or grain particles from the hopper, rollers, and grinding chamber.
• Deep Cleaning: Periodically, disassemble the hopper and grinding unit for a more thorough cleaning. Wash with warm, soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembly. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
• Motor Care: The motor unit should only be wiped clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Never immerse the motor in water.
• Roller Bearings: The rollers utilize real bearings for extended life and efficient grinding. No special lubrication is typically required for these sealed bearings.
• Storage: Store the grain mill in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture.
