Start-up
Setting the fineness
You can set the fineness of the mill feed steplessly
between "1" and "9" using the adjusting lever.
When changing the setting from "9" to "1", the mill
should either
- be on
- or the grinder must be empty.
The different types of grain and other mill feed differ
considerably with respect to their fat and fibre
content, endosperms etc. Our mill feed table is based
on this. hawos mills have undergone extensive
testing and this table was compiled accordingly for
your reference. However, the values provided are
approximate and are dependant on the moisture
content of the grain.

If you wish to increase the fineness above the level
specified in the table, the end result will be super
fine. This increases the risk of the grindstones
clogging. Pay attention to the milling noise: If it
diminishes considerably, then the grindstones are
starting to clog. Set the adjusting lever to coarser.
Turn off the mill once all mill feed has been
processed.
If there is no mill feed in the grinder, you can hear
the grindstones rubbing against one another in the
fine setting. Cause: Despite a high degree of
precision, the threading for the fine setting always
has to have a small amount of play. This small
amount of play is neutralised when the pressure from
milling is exerted on the two grindstones. Grains that
by nature have their own unique hardness exert a
different milling pressure on the grinder. For this
reason, we recommend different settings.
Feel free to also try foods that
can be rolled and those that
can be poured that are not
indicated on the adjacent
table, e. g. dry spices. Proceed
with care when trying new
types and let us know about
your results: We are always
delighted to learn more.
Oilseeds jam the grinder due
to their high fat content. For
this reason, mix mill feed with
high fat content 1:1 with
wheat or another grain.
