KornKraft Toscana User manual

Instruction manual – aToscan
You are the owner of the model Toscana, a high manual grain mill.
It was manufactured for you by artisanal craftmanship.
Before you start the milling, please note the following points:
Mounting
Pull out the drawer and hold the grind stone by the axis with the left
hand. Turn the clamping screw (top) out of the driving axle and remove
the paperboard roll (Transport protection).
Push the handle on the axis. Turn the handle a bit, until it snaps. Now you
can turn the clamping screw and release the grinding stone.
Fixation of the mill
Fasten the mill on a work surface, so you can put the clamps diagonally,
so the mill is more stable. If it’s not possible to fasten them on a working
surface you can use the holes in front.
Sense of rotation
Turn the handle to the left (this corresponds to the clockwise rotation in
vertical position) In the horizontal position the muscle power is optimally
used by turning it to the left.
Setting the fineness
The adjustment knob is situated above the hopper. Turn it by holding the
handle.
- Turn it to the left for a coarse grinding
- Turn it to the right for a fine grinding
(please see the scale on the knob)
To change the setting from coarse to the finest, it’s recommended to turn
the handle two times to the right, so you get an opening between the mill
stones.

Running in
First you should run the mill in. Do this by milling approx. 30 grams ( one
tablespoon) of dry grains ( wheat, millet or barley are particularly suitable
for this) at a medium setting. Turn the handle anti-clockwise.
The first time you use the mill, abrasion of the millstone occurs which is
perfectly harmless to health but can contain stone particles. That’s why it is
not suitable for consumption.
Suitable grains
You can use the mill to grind all types of grain, no popcorn. To grind oil seeds, mix
them with dry grains. If you grind oat types with a gigh oil content at fine settings,
the grinding mechanism may clog ( see cleaning and care)
Warning
On the grind stone axis, below the hopper, is a hexagon nut, which is set to avoid
the grating between the grind stones. Please don’t turn it.
If you adjust this hexagon nut you loose the warranty claim.
If you adjust it the grinding stones can grate one against the other, and the
grinding function is no longer met.
Cleaning and care
Normally it is not necessary to clean the grinding mechanism. However, if it
does become clogged (e.g. with moist cereal or oil seeds), we recommend
grinding a handful of rice at a medium setting. Rice is very dry and brittle so it
lifts off the sticky residues and cleans the grinding mechanism.
You can clean the mill housing with a damp cloth; never apply water directly.
Do not keep the mill in an extremely dry place (above a source of heat) or an
extremely moist place (water vapour above a cooker). This could cause the
wood to warp.
