6 Cleaning · Faults
The mill is on, but no flour is emitted:
If the grain is too wet or e. g. if spelt and oats
are ground too finely, the grindstones may be
“smeared”.
Solution:
• Mill approximately 100 g brown rice
(semi-coarse setting)
• If necessary, open the grinder and remove any
leftovers (see the section “Opening the grinder”
for this)
The mill turns off while in use: Debris or
clogged grindstones may cause the mill come to a
standstill. In such a case, the overcurrent circuit
breaker automatically deactivates the mill after
approximately 20 seconds.
Solution:
• Remove any debris and/or after the mill has cooled
off, mill approximately 100 g brown rice (semi-
coarse setting)
The adjusting lever cannot be pushed to the
“fine” setting:
If an overfilled flour bowl causes e. g. the flour to
back up, this may jam the grinder. There is leftover
grain or debris in the grinder.
Solution:
• When the mill is running, change to the “coarse”
setting and allow the grinder to run without any
mill feed
• If necessary open the grinder and remove any
leftover flour and/or debris. If the grindstones are
heavily laden, clean them with a dry, hard brush
(for this, see the section “Opening the grinder”)
Cleaning
A brush is integrated in the bottom rotating
grindstone of your hawos, which sweeps out the flour
with every rotation, thereby automatically cleaning
the mill.
If you don’t intend to use your mill for a prolonged
period of time, we recommend cleaning any leftover
flour out of the grinder. This is very easy with a
vacuum cleaner. Set the adjusting lever to “coarse”
and then, after having turned off the mill, insert the
vacuum cleaner nozzle into its funnel and flour
outlet.
Do not in any case clean the housing with abrasive
cleaners. Never immerse the unit in water! If
necessary, clean the housing with a damp cloth and
then rub in a small amount of vegetable oil to
preserve the surface.
Faults
In the unlikely event of a fault, you can rectify it
easily:
The motor doesn’t start: Is the mill connected to
a power supply? Has the plug been properly
connected with a socket?
Solution:
• Check both points and rectify the fault
The motor hums, but doesn’t start running:
When turning off the unit, grain may have clogged
between the grindstones and may have jammed
them.
Solution:
• Set the adjusting lever to “coarse” with the motor
turned on until the milling process starts again
• Slowly set the lever back to “ne”
(page 4, figure 5)
