For your Safety 

9

 

During  operation,  place  your  mill  on  a  solid 
and  level  surface  such  as  a  kitchen  counter.  
The  openings  on  the  bottom  of  the  mill  must  
remain open and unobstructed to allow adequate  
ventilation.

10

 

Please ensure that the bowl positioned beneath 
the  outlet  is  large  enough  to  keep  the  flour  or 
flakes from blocking the spout. Simply turn the 
bowl a little as soon as the flour begins to pile 
up against the spout.

11 

Oats  and  soybeans,  because  of  their  relatively 
high  fat  content,  will  leave  a  thick  residue  on 
the millstones if ground too finely. Use a slightly 
coarser setting for these grains than you would 
for others.

12 

Similarly, if yours is a 250-Watt mill, you should 
first  grind  corn  and  chickpeas  on  a  coarse  
setting, then again at a finer setting. 

13

KoMo products are designed to be easily opened 
for cleaning. Do not disassemble your mill in any 

way that requires tools, as doing so may render 
your warranty invalid. 

14 

Take care to protect your mill's power cord. When 
removing the plug from the power socket, do so 
carefully.  Do  not  pull  the  plug  out  by  the  cord, 
but only directly by the plug itself. Do not lay the 
cable over sharp edges or corners. 

15

 

If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced 
by the manufacturer, its service agent or a quali-
fied craftsman.

16 

Never  immerse  the  device  in  water  or  other  
liquids.

17

KoMo products are designed only for their spe-
cifically  intended  use.  The  manufacturer  is  not 
liable for damage caused by incorrect use or use 
other than that for which the device is intended.

Safety Advice 

Prior to using your device:
Please read and follow these important safety 
instructions carefully.

Connect  the  device  to  an  outlet  with  alternat-
ing current (AC) only. Please make sure that your 
household  power  supply  matches  the  voltage 
specifications  indicated  on  the  name  plate  of 
your device.

Our  stone  grinder  mills  can  process  all  seven 
types  of  cereal  (wheat,  rye,  oats,  barley,  corn, 
brown  rice,  millet  and  the  related  subspecies 
such  as  spelt).  Never,  however,  grind  popcorn 
in  your  KoMo-mill.  Only  standard  corn  varieties 
should be used for corn meal and polenta.

Use only thoroughly cleaned grain, free of stones 
and  other  foreign  objects.  Otherwise,  you  will  
damage the millstones.

Always use dry grain in your mill. Wet grain will 
leave a thick residue on the millstones and thus 
cause  them  to  require  cleaning.  You  can  test  
whether  grain  is  dry  enough  for  milling  by 

squashing a sample of it with the back of a spoon 
against  a  hard  surface.  If  it  cracks  loudly,  the 
grain is dry. If it flattens under pressure, looking  
something  like  a  rolled  oat,  then  it  is  moist  
(or oily).

5

The housing of your mill is made predominantly 
of solid wood. Solid wood is an organic material 
subject to deformation if exposed to significant 
changes in temperature and/or humidity.You can 
preserve  the  beauty  of  your  KoMo  product  by  
placing it away from vents and other sources of 
heat and moisture such as your stove.

Your mill is designed for the needs of a normal 
household. It is not suitable for commercial use.

7

Never leave your mill unattended while it is oper-
ating. Keep it out of reach of children at all times.

8

The high performance motors in KoMo products 
can  suffer  damage  if  left  running  idle.  Please 
switch off your mill or flaker after use.
