II. WARNINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

PLEASE, PAY SPECIAL ATTENTION TO ALL THE WARNINGS AND ADVICE PROVIDED BELOW!
THE GRINDER IS AN ATTACHMENT WITH PROPERTIES AND GRINDING PROCEDURES THAT REQUIRE GOOD KNOWLEDGE.
AFTER SOME TIME, YOU WILL GET EXPERIENCE WITH THE USE OF THE GRINDER THAT WILL LEAD TO GOOD RESULTS.

II.A. MATERIAL:
­ – The grinder is designed for processing most types of cereals and legumes (e.g. wheat, rye, oats, rough barley, buckwheat, various lentils, peas,
beans, rice, millet).
– Do not process oilseed crops (e.g. poppy, hemp, flax, sunflower, sesame and chia seeds, peanuts etc.) or very hard food, such as popcorn, nutmeg, walnuts, hazelnuts, almonds.
– Soya and chickpea can be processed, but only by dividing it (i.e. peeling it) to smaller parts. An optimum distance between the millstones is 3 – 4mm. For easier adjustment we recommend the following procedure: By rotating the knob Q5 anticlockwise (i.e. to the left) loosen the millstones so as to achieve a “gap” between disc Q5 and the rotary stone Q4 of no less than 3 – 4 mm (i.e. 2 – 2.7 times a full turn by 360 °).
– We do not recommend processing aromatic foods (such as coffee, herbs, dried mushrooms, hard spices, black pepper, clover, mustard, dried
bread etc.). Such aromatic foods could have a negative effect on the flavour and aroma of the following ground cereals, legumes or rice.
– Never process materials larger than 6 mm!
– Never process wet, moist or frozen cereals, legumes and rice!
– Use only dry material for grinding (under 13 % humidity)! The material must be crushed, not pressed during grinding so that it stays loose and does not lose its characteristic consistency.
– If you also process fodder crops in addition to food crops, do not use them for food purposes and subsequent consumption.
– Use good quality material. We recommend checking the material before grinding for any foreign matters (e.g. bits of stones) that could damage the product (e.g. abrade the grinding stones). Any returns in the warranty period caused by such impurities will not be accepted.
– Cereals, legumes and rice are natural and live “natural tins” and thus they behave in a hygroscopic way. Therefore, they must always be stored in
a dry place. When the material is ground slowly, with problems and overheats easily, it means that it is too moist. Stop grinding and dry the material.
Drying Material Spread the material on a baking sheet and let it dry in the air for a sufficient period of time (about 24 hours) to get rid of excess moisture. You can also use an electric/gas/hot air oven set to the maximum temperature of 45 °C. Dry the material for about 2 hours. You can also use a fruit dehydrator. Make sure you use a suitable pad or screen on the drying plates so that the material does not fall through. Spread the material evenly in a thin layer to make drying more effective. Dry for at least 2 hours.

II.B. GRINDING: THE RULES BELOW ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT RULES FOR WORKING WITH THE GRINDER:

1. DRY MATERIAL IS THE MOST IMPORTANT parameter for proper grinding!
2. NEVER LEAVE THE GRINDER RUNNING UNATTENDED and check it continuously during the entire time of food preparation!
3. When tightening the grinding stones using the regulating disc, ALWAYS use three fingers. Never tighten the stones BY FORCE with your firmly closed hand.
4. REGULARLY check the output consistency ­ let the ground material fall into your hand and check that it does not stick together, or that it does not come out already joined. IF THAT OCCURS, IMMEDIATELY STOP THE KITCHEN ROBOT, LOOSEN THE STONES AND CLEAN THE WHOLE GRINDER. SUCH MATERIAL IS NOT SUFFICIENTLY DRY. SUCH MATERIAL MUST BE dried for further processing (see Drying Material). 5) WHEN the noise level of the robot STARTS TO CHANGE WHILE GRINDING, it is getting overloaded. That could be caused by grinding stones being too tight or being clogged by the material or by material caked between the stones. IMMEDIATELY STOP THE KITCHEN ROBOT! 6) WHEN GRINDING IN SEVERAL PASSES, ALWAYS mix the ground material in the bowl so that small and large grains are evenly distributed. Mix the material in the bowl again before pouring it into the hopper.

­– When the processed material gets stuck in the attachment, turn off the drive unit, disassemble the machine and clean it.
– Never leave the attachment running when the hopper is empty.
– Never set the coarseness of grinding when the drive unit is running!
– Never insert your fingers into the filling hole and never use a fork, knife, spoon etc. do to the same.
– ALWAYS interrupt work after processing about 0.5 kg of material and let the grinder cool down for about 15 minutes.
– If you need to process a larger amount of material, do not exceed the times for maximum operation of the drive unit and the recommendations below.
– I Wait until the attachment cools down before disassembly and cleaning to prevent any burns. Hot stones are difficult to remove.
– As soon as the grinding stones start to hit one another, it is the finest possible setting of grinding.
– The setting for fine grinding may cause clogging of the grinding stones.
– Strong tightening of the disc (i.e. tightening the grinding stones completely together) during processing may cause excessive abrasion of the stone with subsequent damage of the grinder, or even the drive unit.
– The processing time is in minutes and it depends on the quantity, type and quality of the used cereals, legumes and rice.
– It is not possible to use the grinder to repeatedly grind coarse or medium- coarse flour to flour with a finer structure (e.g. all-purpose).
– Never immerse the grinding stones in water, nor wash them under running water!

IV. PREPARATION AND USE

Remove all packaging material, take out the attachment. Remove any adhesive films, stickers or paper from the attachment.

Assembly Assemble the grinder Q and connect it to the head of the drive unit according to Fig. 1 and 2. Do not tighten the regulating disc in order to make the connection of the grinder easier. Proceed in the opposite order to disassemble and remove the grinder from the head of the drive unit.

Grinding and Adjusting the Grinder: To achieve fine consistency, we recommend grinding materials in two passes. ONLY well-dried wheat can be ground in one pass.

Setting the Coarseness of Grinding: In relation to the required level of grinding or used material, set the distance of the grinding stones using the regulating disc Q5 so that you can achieve the required coarseness of grinding. Turning the disc clockwise (i.e. to the right) increases the fineness of grinding, turning the disc counter clockwise (i.e. to the left) increases the coarseness of grinding. To release the regulating disc easily Q5, use the release key Q9.
Specification: The following terms are used for manipulation with the regulating disc Q5:
– arresting position, – turn, – click. All the terms express the same activity which is changing the setting of the regulating disc by one position. The change is accompanied by corresponding sound.

1. Initial Position: Tighten the grinding stones together by turning the regulating disc Q5 clockwise (i.e. to
   the right) on the assembled and cleaned grinder. Use three fingers for tightening. Never tighten the stones with the force of your firmly closed hand!

2. First pass: This setting means releasing the regulating disc Q5 which creates a gap between the grinding stones for FIRST COARSE GRINDING. Once complete turn by 360° corresponds with 24 positions, i.e. 1.5 mm. Turn the regulating disc Q5 by e.g. 24 arresting positions (clicks) back to loosen the grinding stones, creating a gap that will determine the coarseness of grinding. The number of turns depends on the type of material to be ground. The range should move from 6 to 30 turns. Remember what position the grinding stones are in order to adjust them for the following pass.

Note: If you set the range for more than 15 positions, the individual turns will no longer “click” as the stones do not create any resistance at that point.
We recommend first setting 15 turns, pour about 50 g of material into the hopper and turn the appliance on. The grinder will fill up with the material which will create pressure between stones again. Stop the appliance and continue adjusting to a higher value of turns. Place a stainless bowl, or another suitable vessel, under the grinder to collect the milled flour. Pour the material into the hopper Q6 and turn the appliance on at maximum speed. Check the output consistency of the material and operation of the appliance according to the instructions provided above in Chapter II.B. Grinding. Coarse grinding means that there are both finely ground parts and halved or even whole grains of material at the output. If not, the regulating disc must be released. Any finer consistency would be difficult to pass through the hopper into the grinder in the following step. When the material ground no longer comes out of the grinder, stop the appliance and use your hand to mix the material in the bowl.
3) Second Pass When the first pass is completed, tighten the regulating disc Q5 (count the number of clicks) to the required setting according to the processed material, see Chapter Grinding Individual Materials. Proceed in the same way as in the first pass. FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED in Chapter II.B. Grinding. The advantage of grinding in two passes is achieving a more even structure of the material ground and a lower temperature during grinding.
Before First Use (Fig. 3, 4) Turn the regulating disc Q5 using three fingers clockwise (i.e. to the right) to tighten the grinding stones, i.e. to the initial position. Plug the power cord in the electric socket. Turn the appliance on at the maximum speed for about 15 seconds, then turn the drive unit off, which grinds the stones. Now, turn the regulating disc by 10 arresting positions (clicks) back to loosen the grinding stones. Place a stainless bowl or another suitable vessel under the grinder to collect the milled flour. Pour about 150 g of regular rice in the hopper Q6 and turn the appliance on at maximum speed. Grind the rice and stop the appliance. Then, tighten the regulating disc by 4 positions (i.e. 6 turns). Do not disassemble and clean the grinder between the individual settings. Mix the ground rice and pour it into the hopper again. Grind the rice in the second pass. Then turn the regulating disc by 3 positions (i.e. 3 turns). Mix the ground rice again and pour it into the hopper again. Grind the rice in the third pass. Remove the grinder Q from the drive unit and disassemble it. Carefully clean the grinding stone with the provided brush Q10 ­ fixed Q2 and then the rotating Q4. Assemble the grinder and attach it to the drive unit. Repeat the procedure one more time. The milled rice flour contains impurities. Therefore, it is not suitable to be used for food purposes (consumption) and we recommend disposing of it. This first use grinds and cleans the stones and also lets you learn about gradual grinding.
Grinding Individual Materials These are recommended procedures for grinding individual materials. Follow the procedures until you acquire enough experience with grinding various materials. For first grinding, we recommend maximum quantity of 200 g; when you have experience with grinding, you can maximally use 500 g.

Carefully observe the safety warnings and recommendations from Chapter II.B. Grinding.
Wheat Wheat is one of the less demanding materials for processing and it is the most common material for grinding. We recommend starting with two passes for wheat.
Grinding Procedure – First pass: 25 to 30 turns = check coarseness of grinding after start, wheat should be very
coarse, with grains only divided into several parts and with some complete grains. – Second pass: 2 to 3 turns (2 turns when the material is very dry).
Well-dried wheat can also be milled in one pass at 3 turns, however, you will always obtain finer flour with 2 passes. Spelt is also easy to process.
Barley Barley flour is used very rarely.
Grinding Procedure – First pass: 25 to 30 turns = check coarseness of grinding after start, wheat should be very
coarse, with grains only divided into several parts and with some complete grains. – Second pass: 3 turns.
Rye Rye is one of the most demanding materials for processing. It is very sensitive to quality of drying. We recommend drying rye thoroughly during the first use to learn what fineness of grinding is possible. Always grind rye in 2 passes.
Grinding Procedure – First pass: 25 to 30 turns = check coarseness of grinding after start, rye should be very
coarse, with grains only divided into several parts and with some complete grains. – Second pass: 3 turns.
Sifting rye through a suitable sieve will let you achieve the finest flour possible.
Oats Oats are soft when compared with other cereals. Oats can be milled in one pass and the results also depends on grain moisture to a large extent. Moreover, finely milled oats are hard to move through the hopper.
Grinding Procedure – First pass: 25 to 30 turns = check coarseness of grinding after start, oats should be very
coarse, with grains only divided into several parts and with some complete grains. – Second pass: 3 turns = After the first grinding, pour the milled material back to the hopper
slowly so that you can always see the input opening into the grinder at the bottom of the hopper. Never pack oats down and do not use any tools to do that, you can only knock on the side of the hopper.
Millet Millet is easy to process and it is milled in one pass.

Grinding Procedure – First pass: 3 to 5 turns, check that the flour does not overheat excessively, if so, increase turns to 5.
Rice Rice is a very hard crop. It is not possible to achieve fine flour as with cereals. Never mill rice in one pass. It is suitable for cleaning the stones of the grinder. Rice is easy to move in the hopper when milled repeatedly, therefore you can grind it more than twice. When grinding, or cleaning the grinding stones, always used mill rice (e.g. long/medium/ short grain) that has not been heat-treated. Never use Parboiled rice, pre-cooked or cooked rice!
Grinding Procedure – First pass: 10 to 12 turns. – Second pass: 6 turns. – Third pass: 2 to 3 turns.
Buckwheat Only processes mill buckwheat, always at least in two passes. The quality of grinding buckwheat depends on the quality of drying.
Grinding Procedure – First pass: 25 to 30 turns = check the coarseness of grinding after start, you should be able to see halves of buckwheat. – Second pass: 3 turns.
The best grinding results are produced when processing grout from mill buckwheat.
Legumes ­ Lentils, Peas, Beans Process all legumes in two passes. Legumes that are not dried sufficiently can quickly clog the stones, therefore follow the procedures described in Chapter II.B. Grinding. Never process material larger than 6mm. When processing peas, use only half-cut, peeled, green or yellow peas. Suitable types of beans are Adzuki, small white beans and Mungo beans.
Grinding Procedure – First pass: 25 to 35 turns = check coarseness of grinding after start, the material must be
sufficiently coarse so that it can move in the hopper for the second pass. – Second pass: 3 to 5 turns.
Tips for Flours ­ Let the milled flour completely cool down and air out in the vessel before storage, then
pour it into a prepared storage vessel or bag. ­ If you need very fine flour, use a suitable sieve to separate coarse grit. You can use the
grit for other types of healthy foods. Grit can also be ground again to make its structure finer.
Storing Flour ­ Wholegrain flour cannot be stored for a long time as white flour as unlike white flour it
contains whole ground grit and long-term storage causes the flour to go stale, which makes it unsuitable for consumption.

We recommend storing flour under the following conditions: ­ The moisture of flour should be below 15 %, ­ Ambient temperature around 15 °C, ­ In a dry and dark place with unrestricted air supply, ­ Do not store flour in an environment with distinct aromas as flour absorbs them

Before processing flour (about 1 day), we recommend to move the required quantity into an environment with ambient temperature of at least 20 °C. The preparation of flour immediately prior to processing includes sifting and preheating. Sifting loosens up flour so that it mixes better with other materials. Oxygen added to the flour is a favourable factor for propagation of yeast and for oxidizing procedures in the dough.

V. TABLE FOR THE USAGE OF THE ACCESSORIE

Please consider the following cooking tips as examples and as inspiration. Their purpose is not to be a complete guide, but to demonstrate the possibilities of various food preparation methods. Chose the amount of ingredients to be processed so that the maximum content of the containers marked by a line is not exceeded. A larger amount of processed ingredients must be divided into several batches and the contents of the container should be regularly inspected. We recommend that you interrupt your work from time to time and remove any food which has become stuck or clogged the attachment or is on the walls of the containers, blender and lid.

VI. MAINTENANCE (pic. 4, 5, 6, 8)

Always unplug the power supply for the drive unit from the electric socket prior to any manipulation with the attachment! Always unplug the power cord of the drive unit from the electric socket prior to any manipulation with the attachment! Do not use any coarse and aggressive cleaning agents! Clean the body of the green mill Q0 with a clean wet cloth. Plastic parts (i.e. hopper Q6) may be washed in the dishwasher.
Never soak grinding stones Q2, Q4 in water and never use a wet brush to clean their surface! Also, do not use any steel or other metal brushers, steel wool etc. to clean the stones!

Cleaning Clogged Grinding Stones / Quick Cleaning before Use Turn off the drive unit, remove the grinder, disassemble it and remove any food residues from the area of the grinding stones. Attach the grinder back to the head of the drive unit. Turn the regulating disc by 6 arresting positions (clicks) back. Pour about 150 g of regular dry rice into the hopper and turn the appliance on at maximum speed. The rice helps clean the clogged grinding stones. Pour the dry cereals to the hopper, set the same level of coarseness of grinding or turn the regulating disc by one arresting position (click) back and grind the required quantity.

Any impurities in gaps or corners and grinding stones may be easily cleaned with the provided brush Q10. When cleaning the grinding stones, be very careful! Make sure that the grinding edges / grooves of the stones do not come in contact with hard objects that dull them and thus reduce their efficiency. Take care that the binding surfaces and the sealing elements are functional. Some foods may stain the accessories in a certain way. This however has no effect on the operation of the appliance and is not cause for a claim or complaint regarding the appliance! After some time this staining usually goes away by itself. Never dry plastic moulded parts above a heat source (e.g. fire stove, electric/gas stove). Store the appliance thoroughly cleaned in a dry, dust-free location that is out of reach of children and incapacitated persons.

Procedure for Replacing Stones (Fig. 5, 7) When the grinding stones are damaged or worn out too much, it is necessary to purchase new ones and replace them. Disassemble the grinder. Using a suitable tool (such as a screwdriver), release the cover Q1 by gradually inserting a screwdriver into the 4 pcs screws Q8 unscrew from the body Q0 of the grinder. You can now easily remove the cover Q1. Remove (knock out) the fixed grinding stone Q2 from the body of the grinder Q0. Replace the stone with a new one. Them and thus reduce their efficiency.
Attention: Make sure that the cut created in the grinding stone precisely “fits” the created protrusion on the body of the grinder.
If the distance ring Q3 and seal Q7 are worn out or damaged, replace it with a new one (the same type).
Replace the assembled rotating grinding stone Q4 with a new one. When assembling the stones, proceed in the opposite order.
