Package Content:

• 1 x Malt Mill (Main Unit)
• 4 x Hoppers (likely referring to hopper panels for assembly)
• 1 x Gear Motor
• 2 x Rollers (pre-installed or as spares/assembly parts)

Setup

Follow these steps for initial setup and preparation:

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Inspect for any shipping damage.
2. Assembly: Attach the hopper panels to form the hopper unit, then secure it to the mill body. Ensure all screws are tightened. The gear motor should be securely mounted to the base plate.
3. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, clean the hopper and rollers with water. Ensure all parts are completely dry before proceeding. Do not coat vegetable oil on the surface of the rollers.
4. Placement: Position the grain mill on a stable, flat, and dry surface.
5. Roller Gap Adjustment: The mill features adjustable rollers. To adjust the gap, locate the adjustment knobs or screws at both ends of the rollers. Turn them to achieve the desired gap between 0mm and 2.5mm for uniform crushing. A finer gap produces finer flour, while a wider gap results in a coarser grind.
6. Power Connection: Connect the gear motor to the power supply using the provided cable. Ensure the voltage matches your local supply (220V for UK PLUG).

6. Stop Grinding: Once all grains are processed or you wish to stop, flip the power switch to the 'OFF' position.

Maintenance

Regular cleaning and maintenance will prolong the life of your grain mill:

• After Each Use: Unplug the machine. Use a brush or compressed air to remove any residual flour or grain particles from the rollers and inside the mill body.
• Cleaning Hopper: The hopper can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Ensure it is completely dry before reassembling or storing.
• Deep Cleaning: Periodically, you may need to disassemble the hopper and roller assembly for a more thorough cleaning. Refer to the setup section for reassembly.
• Material Care: The stainless steel components are corrosion-resistant. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or steel wool, which can scratch the surface.
• Storage: Store the grain mill in a dry, clean environment when not in use.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your TFCFL Electric Grain Mill, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Machine Does Not Turn On:
  • Check if the power cord is securely plugged into both the machine and a working electrical outlet.
  • Ensure the power switch is in the 'ON' position.
  • Verify the power outlet is functional by testing it with another appliance.
• Grains Not Grinding or Grinding Inconsistently:
  • Check the roller gap adjustment. It might be too wide for the desired fineness. Adjust the gap between 0mm and 2.5mm.
  • Ensure the grains are dry and free of foreign objects that could obstruct the rollers.
  • Inspect the rollers for any blockages or wear. Clean thoroughly if necessary.
• Unusual Noise During Operation:
  • Turn off the machine immediately and unplug it.
  • Check for any foreign objects caught in the rollers or motor area.
  • Ensure all components are securely assembled and tightened.
• Motor Overheating:
  • Allow the machine to cool down. Avoid continuous operation for extended periods without breaks.
  • Ensure the machine is not overloaded with too much grain at once.
