TROUBLESHOOTING
RESOLUTION
High gluten grains milled on fine
setting. Adjust mill to a coarser texture.
Governor not opening because it is
clogged with flour.
Clean the governor thoroughly. You can test the governor by
manually depressing valve. Valve should move freely with finger
pressure and return with spring pressure.
Bowl is full.
Bowl cover clogged (air must be able
to pass through the mesh).
Mill reassembled when wet.
Empty collection bowl.
Clean bowl cover by brushing o any caked flour on the inside, or
any blockage on top of the cover.
Thoroughly air dry all parts prior to use.
Governor is clogged with flour. Test governor by manually depressing valve and clean thoroughly.
This is normal. Remove bowl before removing front cover; this will help avoid
mixing un-milled grains with flour.
Humidity, moisture or high gluten.
Humidity, moisture or high gluten.
High humidity.
Moist grains.
High gluten grains milled on fine
setting.
Freeze grains prior to milling.
Utilize accessory flour bag, part # M150701055 instead of the
Pyrex bowl and cover.
Reduce ambient humidity to 50% or lower with a dehumidifier or
air-conditioning.
Air or oven dry grains.
Adjust mill to a coarser texture.
Hex flats are not aligned.
This is normal.
This is normal.
Rotate disk slightly until it slides on sha completely.
To keep temperatures low, increase coarseness, mill smaller
batches or freeze grain prior to milling.
To reduce dust, wait for the rotating disk to stop before removing
bowl cover – you’ll see the cover decompress. You can also tap the
bowl cover to remove any flour that may be caked on the under-
side of it.
