Troubleshooting
Problem
The motor hums, but the grain is not taken up.
The motor binds during operation.
The normal grinding noise becomes weaker – the
millstones are smeared.
Action
Simply turn the hopper towards 'coarse' until the
grinding process begins. Then readjust to the de-
sired texture.
Binding of the motor is generally caused by over-
heating due to improper use. A built-in thermal
cut-off switch stops the motor to prevent serious
damage. Unplug the power cord and allow the
mill to cool down for a few minutes. Thereafter,
you should be able to resume milling. If the
problem reoccurs, look for the cause: Is the grain
too moist? Are the millstones or the mill chamber
clogged? Is there a foreign object caught between
the millstones? Did you turn on the mill with the
hopper full and the millstones at the finest grind
setting?
If the grain is too moist then the millstones could
be smeared and clogged. In this case, the normal
grinding noise becomes more and more quiet,
and very little flour exits the flour spout. Simply
adjust the hopper to a coarser setting and resume
milling with an appropriate grain. The millstones
will clean themselves.
