3. Setup

Follow these steps to set up your KoMoMio Eco grain mill for first use:

  1. Unpack: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Retain packaging for future storage or transport.
  2. Placement: Place the grain mill on a stable, flat, and dry surface. Ensure there is adequate ventilation around the unit.
  3. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wipe down the exterior of the mill with a damp cloth. The grinding chamber and stones are designed for food contact and do not require pre-cleaning.
  4. Hopper Installation: Ensure the cork hopper is correctly seated on top of the mill.
  5. Power Connection: Plug the power cord into a suitable electrical outlet (230 Volts).

4. Operation

Operating your KoMoMio Eco grain mill is straightforward. Follow these instructions for optimal results:

  1. Fill the Hopper: Pour the desired amount of clean, dry grains into the cork hopper. The hopper has a capacity of 850g of wheat.

  3. Adjust Fineness: To adjust the grinding fineness, gently turn the cork hopper. Turning it clockwise typically results in finer flour, while counter-clockwise yields coarser flour. The grinding fineness can be continuously adjusted to less than 0.3 mm.

Grinding Different Grains:

The KoMoMio Eco is designed for soft grains. For best results, ensure grains are dry and free from foreign objects. If you wish to grind spices or other non-grain items, an interchangeable grinder is available separately from KoMo.

5. Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your grain mill. The KoMoMio Eco is designed to be largely maintenance-free.

  • Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the mill with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the unit in water.
  • Grinding Chamber Access: The grinding chamber can be easily opened without tools for inspection or cleaning. Simply twist the hopper to unlock and lift it off.
  • Cleaning Grinding Stones: Typically, grinding dry grains keeps the stones clean. If necessary, a stiff brush can be used to remove any residue. Do not use water on the grinding stones.
  • Hopper Cleaning: The cork hopper can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Ensure it is completely dry before reattaching.
  • Storage: Store the mill in a dry place when not in use.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your KoMoMio Eco grain mill, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

Problem Possible Cause Solution
Mill does not start. Not plugged in; power switch off; power outage. Check power connection; ensure switch is on; check household power.
Grinding is inconsistent or stops. Grains are too moist; foreign object in grinding chamber; hopper empty. Ensure grains are completely dry; unplug and inspect grinding chamber for obstructions; refill hopper.
Unusual noise during operation. Foreign object in grinding mechanism; mill not on a stable surface. Immediately turn off and unplug. Inspect grinding chamber for foreign objects. Ensure mill is on a stable, level surface.
Flour is not fine enough. Fineness setting is too coarse. Adjust the cork hopper clockwise for a finer grind.

If the problem persists after attempting these solutions, please contact KoMo customer support.
