Assembly of the hand mill:
Please see the picture on page 3
1. Position the winch onto the threaded rod.
2. Then fit the washer.
3. Then fit the bearing.
4. Position the knurled nut with the spigot facing upwards until
you have contact with the bearing.
5. Now turn the knurled nut back by one turn and so secure
(counter-lock) the same.
You now have the best adjustment to begin the milling process!
The distance between the bearing and the knurled nut determines the
degree of fineness of the flour.
For a finer milling result tighten the knurled nut step by step with
renewed locking checks.
For a coarser milling result loosen the knurled nut step by step with
renewed locking checks.
Attention:
If the knurled nut is not suffiently secured by the wing nut, it may be
over-tightened during the milling process, causing the mill to either
block or become difficult to operate.
Correct Countering (Locking):
The easiest way is for you to use your left hand to hold the knurled nut
and with your right hand the wing nut.
Hold the knurled nut firmly and turn the wing-nut in the clockwise
direction on to it. So the knurled nut cannot
become over-tightened when milling.

Basic rules for more safety –important
safety instructions
Please read these operating and safety instructions carefully before op
erating your grain mill.
This will avoid errors and accidents and can secure the functional and s
afe use of the appliance.
Please keep this user manual and should you hand the mill to any third
-party ensure the next user has the manual.
This corn mill is exclusively designed for the home production of flour
and grits.

15. Never undertake any repair or do-it-yourself work –even if very sim-
ple ones yourself.
Suitable site
The Salzburger grain mill is made of high quality solid wood. Wood is a
natural product which is influenced by moisture and changes in
temperature. Place your mill in a dry place and protect it from any
direct source of heat (direct sun, oven etc.).
GRAIN TYPE/CORN TYPE
Please make sure to use only dry and cleaned grain as moist grain will
smear the millstones. Please see the chapter on smeared millstones.
Poorly cleaned grain can include dirt or foreign particles (e.g. small
stones etc.) which can damage the millstones.
Mill to the desired degree of fineness in one process, re-milling can
result in the grain input funnel and will not give satisfactory milling
results. The Salzburger Grain Mill will give you fine and flaky flour in
one milling process.

Grain Type
Setting
Remarks
Wheat, rye,
buckwheat, corn, rice,
oats, barley, millet,
green- spelt, spelt
Any degree of fineness
Do not use popcorn,
only use
regular dried corn
Oats and soy beans
Adjust the mill to a
coarser setting
Linseed
Only coarse grinding
(coarse setting)
Oily seeds, all spices
Mix with wheat, rye,
barley, corn etc, and
process on a coarser
setting
Caraway, coriander,
anise, fennel, cloves,
and cinnemon
Small amounts can be
ground without any
admixtures
Clean milling chamber
and flour output
Storage of the grain indoors in places with up to 60%
humidity, allows a problem-free processing. Storage at
humidity levels over 60 % can result in smearing of the
millstones during ?ne processing.
Especially during wet or damp wet conditions store smaller quantities
of grain in an air-permeable bag (linen, etc.) near a source of heat.
Care and Cleaning
To maintain the technical operation of your mill no care or
maintenance is necessary. Normal functioning of the mill means that
small amounts of four will be left in the milling chamber. If you do not
intend to use your mill over a period of some weeks, we recommend
that for hygienic reasons you have to clean it thoroughly.
To do this, mill a handful of rice or grain at a “coarse setting”
afterwards open the mill and using a vacuum cleaner remove all residue
flour from the milling chamber. Leave the mill open and if at hand
place a few bay leaves inside.

Moths love the dark and their peace and will only start attacking any
wood if they are faced with extreme emergency. If you constantly use
your mill you will not other moths any comfortable surroundings.
Prior to delivery the shaft bearing has been oiled, but application of a
little sewing machine oil will ensure long-life of your mill. The outer
surfaces of your mill need only to be wiped with a damp cloth and
then dried at once.
Occasionally roughen the outside surfaces with sand paper and then
treat them with beeswax oil.
Milling Process
Fill appropriate material into the funnel.
Using the clamps supplied with the mill fix it firmly onto a stable table –table
surface over the corner.
Slowly begin to rotate in a clockwise direction.
The degree of fineness of the flour can be adjusted during the milling
process.
Please see the chapter on „Adjusting the degree of fineness.”
Interrupting the milling process
When beginning to mill hard grain types such as corn, rice or durum wheat
At fine settings and with a full funnel the mill can become blocked. Please re-
adjust the setting from? ne to coarser until the mill begins to turn then during
the milling process adjust the setting in a clockwise direction until the desired
degree of? neness is reached.
When milling wheat, spelt or rye should the mill stones become blocked,
please give the funnel a short turn backwards in the ANTI-CLOCKWISE
direction.
A tip: the less? our is between the millstones the easier the funnel
can be turned.

Adjusting the degree of fineness
Coarse / fine adjustment is possible by using the knurled nut
and is locked by applying the wing nut.
Coarse Setting:
Loosen the wing nut, adjust the knurled nut in the anti-clockwise direction
until you have the desired setting. Then tighten the wing nut.
Fine Setting:
Loosen the wing nut, adjust the knurled nut (in the clockwise direction) until
desired grade is reached. Then tighten the wing nut.
The MH 8 grain mill can be continually adjusted and according to the adjust-
ment chosen, produces the results required.
Opening the milling chamber
The unity of the funnel and upper millstone is fixed by the fine adjustment
mechanism on the base part of the mill. The fine adjustment is located on
the upper part of the mill. By unscrewing the fine adjustment the funnel can
be lifted off.
Place the funnel unit onto the guide rod which is fixed in the lower part of
the part of the appliance. Please refer to the drawing to see the order of the
components.
Please clean the stones before attaching the funnel unit.
If your grain was not dry enough for the chosen mill setting, the grain will
smear the millstones. A hard, but smooth layer will appear on the millstones.
Take a kitchen knife and scratch the layer from the millstones. Clean the
grooves in the millstones. In order to clean the millstones, it is usually only
necessary to process 1 or 2 hand-falls of rice or grain at a coarse setting. Any
adhesions can be easily and quickly removed.

10
Damp grain will cut like bread, whereas as dry grain will chip off. Damp grain:
Dry the amount required before milling for approx. half an hour in the oven
at 50°C.
IMPORTANT: Prior to milling the grain leave it to cool off.

Problems and Solutions
Problem
Cause
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

in steps until you have the
degree of fineness
required and then lock
(counter) the
same. Correct locking
please see page 4

and then lock (counter)
the same correctly.
Please see Page 4.
