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 “smea-
red”.
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 wheel cannot be turned 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, turn to the adjusting
wheel 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”)
The flour fineness setting changes by itself:
The adjusting wheel setting changes while in use.
Solution:
• Tighten the brake screw on the side opposite the
adjusting wheel so that the wheel bracket can be
adjusted easily, but the setting does not change by
itself. The rubber ring may only press up against
itself slightly (figure 7)
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 wheel to “coarse”
and then insert the vacuum cleaner nozzle into the
funnel and flour outlet of the mill when it is
activated.
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? Is the funnel inserted
properly (microswitch)?
Solution:
• Check and rectify any defect
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:
• Turn the adjusting wheel to “coarse” with the
motor turned on until the milling process starts
again
• Slowly turn the wheel back to “ne” (page 4,
figures 1–3)
