5. Operating Instructions
5.1. Wet Grinding
The wet grinder is ideal for preparing batters for Dosa, Idli, Vada, and Aappam, retaining nutrition and aromatic flavor due to its low RPM operation (approximately 140 RPM).

- Ensure the wet grinder unit is correctly assembled on the motor base.
- Add pre-soaked ingredients (e.g., rice, lentils) and a suitable amount of water into the stainless steel jar. Do not overfill beyond the maximum fill line.
- Secure the lid.
- Switch on the appliance. The low-speed grinding process will begin.
- Allow the grinder to operate until the desired consistency is achieved. This may take longer than high-speed grinders due to the slow RPM designed for nutrient retention.
- Once grinding is complete, switch off the appliance and unplug it.
- Carefully remove the lid and the grinding stone assembly to access the batter.
5.2. Dry Grinding
The dry grinder is suitable for grinding dry spices, grains like wheat and barley, and other dry ingredients at approximately 1400 RPM.
