Assembly of the hand mill:
Please see the picture on page 3
1. Position the winch onto the threaded rod.
2. Then fit the bearing.
3. Position the knurled nut (sturdy fixing, however not too tight and not
too loose) with the spigot facing upwards until you have contact with
the bearing.
4. Now turn the knurled nut back by one turn and so secure (counter-
lock) with the wing nut.
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 precess,
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.
As soon as the knurled nut and the wing nut come into contact with each
other, the knurled nut can no longer tighten itself independently.

5
As a result of this, any blocking of the mill stones due to rotation during the
milling process is prevented.
Basic rules for more safety –important safety instructions
Please read these operating and safety instructions carefully before operating
your grain mill.
This will avoid errors and accidents and can secure the functional and safe
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.
When using this grain mill, the following precautions and safety instructions
must be observed.

15. Never undertake any repair or do-it-yourself work –even if very
simple things 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
blocking of the grain input funnel and will not give satisfactory milling results.
The Salz-
burger Grain Mill will give you fine and flaky flour in one milling process.

Please only use cleaned grain.
Suitable grain types

Small amounts can be
ground without any
admixtures
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 fine
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.

8
Care and Cleaning
Normal functioning of the mill means that small amounts of flour
will be left in the milling chamber. When using the mill regularly, we
recommend to clean it every three months. 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, in order to avoid mildew.
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 offer moths any comfortable surroundings. Prior to delivery the
knurled nut 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 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.”

9
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 fine 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 fineness is reached. When milling hard grain
varieties, if possible do not interrupt the milling process!
Should the funnel become blocked when milling wheat, spelt or
rye shortly turn the funnel in an anti-clockwise direction.
A tip:
the less flour 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 (counter in the clockwise
direction) until desired grade is reached. Then tighten the wing nut.
The MH4 grain mill can continually be adjusted and according to the adjust-
ment chosen produces very fine flour respectively grits.
Provided there is no grain between the mill stones and when the mill is not in
Operation, any desired adjustment of the fineness setting can be carried out.
With a full funnel the mill can be adjusted to a coarser setting, however it can
only be set to a finer setting during the milling process.

10
Opening the milling chamber
The funnel with the upper millstone is fixed by the knurled nut and the wing
nut on the base part of the mill. By unscrewing the knurled nut and the wing
nut, the funnel can be lifted off
Closing the milling chamber
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.
Smeared Millstones
If the 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.
Drying the Grain
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 in the
flour
The knurled nut was
not assembled
correctly
Please control if you
have assembled the
knurled nut with the
spigot facing upwards
Too little flour
production
The knurled nut was
either fastened too
tightly or not
correctly secured
(countered).
Open the the knurled
nut in steps until yyou
have the degree of
fineness required and
then lock (counter) the
same. Correct locking
please see page 4

12
Problem
Cause
Solution
Flour is too coarse
The knurled nut was
too loose
Tighten the knurled
nut in steps until you
have desired degree of
fineness and the lock
(counter) the same
correctly. Please see
Page 4.
