Solution
There is no
flour output
The crank cannot be
turned.
The knurled nut has not
been
correctly countered
(locked) or
has been turned too
tightly!
This means that the mill
stones will be turned
tighter
and tighter together, so
that milling is no longer
possible.
Please see page 4.
Smeared Mill stones
Should you see a white
ring
on the outer edge of the
mill stones that is a clear
sign that you have been
milling either
damp grain, been milling
too finely
or milling oily kernels (e.g.
linseeds).
Oily kernels stick between
the mill stones, make
them become so smeared,
that milling is no longer
possible.
Unfortunately you can
only feel your way through
processing
„damp grain”.
The mill stones do,
however,
react very sensitively
towards dampness.
If you are not sure dry
the grain for half an
hour in your oven and
then let it cool
properly.
Metal shavings

The knurled nut was not
assembled correctly
Please control if you
have assembled the
knurled nut
with the spigot facing
upwards
