Before using your mill for the rst me …
There has never been a „natural-talented “milling expert and so before you
begin the milling process, we wish to give you some informaon on the natu-
ral stone – granite – which has been used in your mill.
Compared with millstones manufactured from arcial corundum ceramic
material, our natural stone is relavely smooth and reacts sensively to
damp grain.
Damp grain could become contaminated with or already contain mildew.
Therefore, it is essenal to pay special aenon to good and healthy storage
of your grain.
Even long-me users of grain mills can somemes nd it dicult to decide
whether the grain is dry or damp!
Grain containing a high percentage of moisture has the tendency to smear
the millstones, which will cause the mill to stop.
Please see the chapter on operang instrucons for further informaon.
In order to really get used to using your mill properly, we recommend you to
heat your grain in the oven at 50 degrees for about 30 minutes. Aerwards
allow to cool before use!
Following this advice before using your mill for the rst me will show you
just how ne your mill can work under the best condions.
It is, however, not necessary to heat your grain in the oven prior to each mil-
ling process!!!
It is only an inial aid, at the same me giving an indicaon of the best possi-
ble degree of our neness achievable.
You will get to know your mill best by adjusng the dierent neness sengs.
Start by using a coarse seng and then try out ner adjustment sengs.

Basic rules for more safety
important safety instrucons
Please read these operang and safety instrucons carefully before using
your grain mill.
This will avoid errors and accidents and can secure the funconal and safe use
of the appliance.
Please keep this user manual and should you hand the mill to a third party
ensure the next user has the manual.
When operang this grain mill the following precauonary
and safety measures must be applied:
1. Read all instrucons carefully.
2. The appliance must only be used for its intended purpose (household producon of our
and bran)
3. The mill must only be operated indoors and never outside.
4. Before operang the appliance, it is essenal to check its awless condion. Special aen-
on must be paid to damaged cables, brile or cracked insulaons or damaged housings.
Should the mains cable or other parts of the mill be damaged, repair work must be carried
out by the manufacturer, respecvely authorized, qualied persons.
5. Repairs may only be carried out by persons authorized by Agrisan GmbH. Defecve or
decient electrical appliances must not be operated.
6. The seller must immediately be informed of any defects.
7. Only connect the mill to a correctly installed protecve mains socket. Before doing so, plea-
se check that the voltage specied on the nameplate on the grain mill matches the voltage
of the energy supply.
8. Mulple plugs and extension cables must not be overloaded.
9. The cable of the mill must not be allowed to hang over the edge of the table or work
surface. Any contact with hot plates or any other sources of heat must be strictly always
avoided. surfaces must be avoided .
10. Leads to electrical appliances must not be laid or squashed over sharp edges or moveable
parts

9
11. Appliances must only be operated with the intended switches.
12. Safety devices must not be modied or turned of.
13. Should any disturbances occur immediately turn the appliance o and disconnect the plug.
14. Do not disconnect the plug from the mains socket by pulling on the cable.
15. Only ever operate the mill on a at, stable surface. The mill must be posioned so that
slipping of the mill itself or the our container during the milling process cannot occur.
It is best to place the mill on a rm surface, (such as a kitchen worktop). This will ensure
that the venlaon slots on the underside of the mill, which serve to venlate the motor,
remain free.
16. Strict monitoring of the appliance is essenal when being used by children.
17. Strict monitoring of the appliance is essenal when being used in the vicinity of children.
18. Always keep the mill out of the reach of children.
19. The appliance must not be operated by persons with either physical or mental handicaps
or those who do not have sucient knowledge of the safe operaon of the appliance. The
excepon to such operaon of the appliance is when used under supervision of persons
responsible for the safety of any handicapped persons.
20. Never immerse the mill or parts of the same into water or other liquids. Never connect a
wet plug to the mains socket or touch it if your hands are wet.
21. Any screw ngs which require a screwdriver to open must not be opened. (Except for the
special latches on the side to open and close the Milling chamber).
22. 23. Industrial motors can be damaged by longer periods of idle running. Aer Use, please
always turn the motor o immediately.
Intended use

Short Guide
1. Connect the plug to the mains socket
2. Place a suitable container under the our spout
3. Switch the motor on
4. Roughly adjust the degree of neness seng
5. Add the grain
6. Re-adjust the desired degree of neness seng.
7. At the end of the our producon turn the motor o.
Suitable Site
The Salzburger Grain Mill is made of high-quality solid beech (oak or nut)
wood.
Wood is a natural product, which during its whole lifeme, is connually sub-
jected to inuences of the environment.
Change of climate and temperature can cause small cracks in the housing of
the mill. However, such cracks will have no eect whatsoever on the mill’s
funconing. Place your mill in a dry place and protect it from any direct
source of heat.
Avoid the vicinity of radiators and direct sunlight. At the same me steam and
dampness should be avoided (too high humidity) should be avoided.
GRAIN TYPE/CORN TYPE
Please make sure to use only dry and cleaned grain!
Moist grain will smear the millstones! (Please see the chapter on smeared
millstones).
Poorly cleaned grain can include dirt or foreign parcles (e.g. small stones
etc.), which can damage the millstones.
Mill to the desired degree of neness in one process.
A second re-milling can result in the grain input funnel becoming blocked and

ber and the our spout
will not give sasfactory milling results. The Salzburger Grain Mill-
will give you powder ne and aky our in one milling process.
Storage of the grain indoors 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 condions store smaller quanes of
grain in an air-permeable bag (linen, etc.) near a source of heat.
The following test will show you yourself just how dry your
grain is:
Dry grain „cracks“, if you crush it on a hard surface with a spoon.
Damp grain can be aened like an oatmeal ake. If you cut dry
grain kernels with a sharp knife the pieces will “y” apart. Cung
damp grain kernels is like cung bread. Rye should be stored for at least 6
months aer the harvest.
Suitable Grain Types:

12
Correct storage of grain
Since biblical mes it has been a known fact, that grain can be stored. This is
best done under the following condions: Humidity under 14 %, temperature
under 20 % (the most favourable temperatures are between
5-8 °C).
Once you have bought your grain it does not necessarily keep the same
degree of dryness (as it had at the me of purchase).
Grain can absorb moisture aer a short me, does however, also emit the
same. Grain breathes – that means there is a re-distribuon of moisture in
the grain kernels which leads to loss of moisture – the grain can, therefore
also begin to “sweat”.
A connual check on the humidity and the temperature is, therefore, neces-
sary.
When purchasing grain, it should be dry, cleaned and well packed. Provided
the grain has been stored in rooms with a humidity of up to 60 %, processing
will not be a problem.
A humidity level of over 60 % can cause the millstones to become smeared,
when using a ne adjustment seng.
Careful storage is especially necessary during the damp seasons.
We therefore recommend purchasing only small quanes at once and to
store them near a source of warmth.
Drying Grain:
Place damp grain into the oven for about 30 minutes at 50° - leave it to cool
aerwards.

13
Milling
Mill to the desired degree of neness in one process.
A second re-milling can result in the grain input funnel beco-
ming blocked and will not give sasfactory milling results.
The Salzburger Grain Mill will give you powder ne and aky our in one mil-
ling process. During the milling process the exibly mounted milling stones
will be pressed slightly apart and will therefore run both quietly and smoo-
thly.
Never let the mill run in idle mode!
Correct Milling:
1. Place a suitably large container under the our spout.
2. Turn the mill on – you will hear the noise of the motor.
3. Turn the adjustment knob unl you hear the slight sound of the stones
grinding against each other.
4. Loosen the thread a lile coarser – so that the stones no longer grind
against each other.
5. Fill the desired amount of grain into the hopper.
6. Now correct the degree of neness of the grain - either coarser in the an-
clockwise direcon - or ner in the clockwise direcon.
Operang me up to 15 minutes
Your mill has been designed for processing household quanes. Should you
occasionally require an unusual amount of our that is no problem!
However, the mill may turn itself o during the milling process. There is no
need to worry; the mill has not been damaged!
Leave it to cool o for about 2 hours.

14
Adjusng the degree of neness
For xing the milling seng there is an adjustment screw on the right-hand
side of the mill. By turning this screw, the degree of neness can be re-adjus-
ted at any me during the milling process.
Re-Adjustment of the degree of neness:
Wheat and spelt can be processed to the nest degree. Rye has higher oil
content and must be processed more coarsely. Oats which are extremely oily
can only be ground. At the same me the degree of dampness or dryness of
the grain is of the utmost importance for the processing results achieved.
1. The drier the grain and the lower its oil content, the ner you can produ-
ce your our.
2. The higher the oil content and the degree of dampness of the grain, the
coarser you will have to mill.
For these reasons it is impossible to supply the mill with a scale suitable and
valid for all types of grain and all the dierent degrees of dampness, allowing
repeatable results.
Only watching the our spout and touching the our will give you re-
liable informaon as to whether you are using the correct adjustment
seng, or whether it has to be altered.
At a standsll:
Provided there are no grain kernels between the millstones, any adjustment
can be carried out – even when the mill is at a standsll. With the mill turned
on ll the grain into the hopper.
When the mill is switched o and with a full hopper no ner re-adjustment
should be carried out. The grain, which has not yet been processed and is sll
between the millstones, will become wedged. This can cause problems when
re-starng the mill.

15
During the milling process:
During the milling process re-adjustment from ne to coarse and vice versa is
possible. Re-set from coarse to ne “slowly” in order to give the mill me to
process the grain which is between the stones. If you do the re-adjustment
too quickly the stones could become blocked.
Coarse Seng
The coarsest seng for producing grits is set by turning the adjustment screw
from ne to coarse by giving about 1 turn in the an-clockwise direcon. You
can open the milling stones so far that the corn will come out of the funnel
again. Connual re-adjustment is possible between these two steps.
Normal seng – suitable for bread making
For baking bread, we recommend that you do not choose a too ne seng.
The our should feel slightly griy / sandy.
Should you be processing our for baking bread – an old ba-
ker’s rule can be recommended:
“Mill as coarse as possible and only so ne as necessary”
Finest seng
To produce the nest possible our, you can turn the adjustment screw in the
clockwise direcon to the right – watch the our spout. If there is a connual
producon of our, the seng is suitable for the grain and its degree of dry-
ness. Should no our come out of the spout immediately adjust to a coarser
seng.
The drier the grain, the ner it can be processed, the lower the temperature
during the milling process the beer the beer the milling performance of
the grain mill
A change in the degree of neness of the our during the mil-
ling process can occur when milling for longer periods of me.
When requiring larger amounts, it is advisable to supervise the mill and if
necessary to correct the ne seng.

16
Interrupng the milling process:
When the hopper is full of very hard kernels like rice or winter wheat, it can
prevent the motor from starng in the nest seng.
Should the motor be blocked turn the adjustment screw to a coarser seng
unl the motor starts to turn and re-adjust in the clockwise direcon to the
desired ner seng.
When milling very hard grain or corn do not interrupt the milling process!
Ending the milling process
Aer nishing the milling process, please turn the adjusng wheel as far as
it will go in the direcon of coarse (clockwise), then the mill will convey the
remaining our out of the milling chamber. In addion, tap lightly against the
hopper to loosen any stuck our residues.
Opening the milling chamber:
Cauon: Always disconnect the mill ‘s power cord from the
electrical outlet before opening the milling chamber! Danger
of injury
The upper part of the unit (unit of hopper and milling chamber) is fastened
to the motor housing with two special locks. The locks are located on the le
and right sides of the milling chamber. The closures are easy to open with
a cross-head screwdriver of medium size. The enclosed tool should only be
used as an emergency measure.
By turning the locks a half turn counterclockwise, the xaon of the locks is
clockwise to loosen the xaon. The arrow now points downwards (6
o‘clock). The upper part of the unit can be lied o when both arrows on the
fasteners point downwards.

17
Closing the milling chamber:
Please clean the milling chamber from our residues before pung on the
funnel (use a brush or vacuum cleaner). Make sure that the grinding stones
are in the coarsest posion.
To assemble the mill, place the upper part on the retaining bolts so that it
rests without a gap. Turn the latches on both sides clockwise unl the arrows
on the latches point to the top right (between 12 and 13 o‘clock).
Care and Cleaning
To maintain the funconing of your mill no special care or maintenance is
needed for operaon of the mill
Cleaning of the millstones:
No not apply water or other uids to clean the millstones!
If you operate your mill regularly cleaning the millstones is not necessary. Mil-
ling of a handful of rice will clean the millstones even removing residue from
oily grain types or spices, etc
Smeared millstones
If the grain is not dry enough for the neness chosen, the millstones may Dry
grain „cracks“, if you crush it on a hard surface with a spoon. Damp grain can
be aened like an oatmeal ake. If you cut dry grain kernels with a sharp
knife the pieces will “y” apart. Cung damp grain kernels is like cung bre-
ad. Rye should be stored for at least 6 months aer the harvest.
Cleaning the milling chamber:
Due to funconal reasons, when producing ne products, a small residue of
our will remain in the milling chamber. This small residue will be removed if
aer your milling process you let the mill run at the coarsest seng.
Should you be intending not to use your mill over a period of several weeks,
thorough cleaning of the milling chamber is recommended – this especially

18
for hygienic reasons. First mill a handful of either rice or grain using a coarse
seng. Open the mill and with a vacuum cleaner remove all residue wheat
from the milling chamber.
Important! Never leave the mill open in parts (hopper and
motor part separate) but leave the whole mill ready for
service. You will thus avoid any possible deformaon of the
wooden parts due to humidity.
Against moths and insects:
Place a tea bag (herbal) in the our spout. Put bay leaves in the upper and
lower parts of the mill.
Moths love dark condions, where they can survive in peace and quiet! They
eat only our and no wood. Provided your mill is frequently used, you will not
be oering moths a comfortable place to stay.
Care and cleaning of the housing:
The housings of our Salzburger grain mills are made from solid (beech, nut or
oak) wood, which has been treated with special organic oil-beeswax varnish.
No special maintenance is required.
Please use a damp cloth to remove dust from exterior surfaces. Do not use
water or other detergents for “cleaning”. Stains or small scratches can be
removed with ne-grained sandpaper. Finally treat the wood with a natural
protecve.
