EXCESSIVE WEAR AND CREATE A LOUD SQUEAKING NOISE
. If the grind is too fine,
turn adjustment knob clockwise one click at a time until desired coarseness is obtained.
Do not let the mill run without grain. This will cause excessive wear and create a loud
squeaking noise.
Continue to replenish grain in the hopper until the desired amount of grain is ground.
It is not necessary to press grain into the hopper with hands or any utensil. The moving
grind worm will automatically feed the grain into the burrs.
WHAT CAN BE MILLED?
Wheat, rye, barley, spelt, kamut, buckwheat, millet, rice, oat groats, spices, dried
herbs, beans, peas and corn. Do not grind any substance that is oily or wet.

When using regular dried corn or any bean, crack the corn or bean on #3 on
your setting unit and then regrind on the lowest setting desired. Never start
grinding corn or a large bean on the lowest setting. Never turn the machine off

CLEANING THE FAMILY GRAIN MILL
®
From time to time, or if the grain mill/f mill has not been used for sometime, we recommend
a through cleaning of the millwork. Always remove the grain mill from the Bosch
Universal Mixer before dismantling and re-assembling the grain mill.
Clean the millwork with a dry soft brush. Do not immerse the parts in water or clean them
under running water. Wipe off the parts of the housing with damp cloth. The roller and the
cone should be cleaned dry with a soft brush. Clean the millwork with a soft dry brush.
NEVER PUT THE grinding ring or cone in the dishwasher or let the grind ring or cone sit in
water. The grinding ring and cone will rust if left standing in water.
Important: The 4-sided groove of the conveyer screw (2) should be free of all particles of
flour. If not, a fine mill adjustment is not possible.
SETTING OF THE MILL GRADE:
The milling grade is set on the setting unit (5). To grind finer flour turn rubbed knob on the
setting unit counter clockwise. To a grind coarser grind turn the ribbed knob clockwise.

wheat berries will fall through. If this should happen do the following:
