QUICK GUIDE

ATTENTION:
Before starting your Mockmill LINO 100 / 200 for the first time, you‘ll need to remove the transport lock. To find out how, check page 11.

Getting started – Please follow in order

Connect the plug to the power socket
Place a bowl beneath the chute
Switch on the mill
Select milling grade
Empty a handful of grains into the hopper
Let the mill complete the milling
Switch the unit off
Discard the resulting flour, as this first milling removes any mineral particles left over from the manufacturing process.

PRECAUTIONS AND SAFETY NOTICES
Please read carefully before using your Mockmill for the first time.

Selecting grain
Use only cleaned grains. Unclean grain may contain small stones that can damage the milling stones. Milling foods or substances other than those listed on pages 12–14 can damage your mill and void the warranty. In case of doubt, please contact us by sending an e-mail to info@mockmill.com
Only use dry grain for milling Moist grain will lead to the build-up of a film on the milling stones. You can remove the film simply by milling dry grain on a coarse setting. (Operating instructions p. 7).
If in doubt, press a kernel onto a hard surface with the back of a spoon: If it breaks with a loud crack, the grain is dry. Grains that are too damp for milling can be squashed flat and then they look like a rolled oat. Rye should be stored for at least six months following harvesting before milling. More information about the different grain types and their uses as well as the adjustment of the milling grades can be found on our website under mockmill.com ⟶ Service / Help⟶ Help / Support ⟶ Downloads.

Milling spices
The Mockmill easily handles dried spices and seasonings, including pepper, coriander, cardamon, cinnamon, and more. Please note that some spices, such as cinnamon, may need to be broken into pieces small enough to feed into the Mockmill. To flush the mill of the aroma of milled spices, simply mill a small amount of grain ( such as wheat ) right away. Then use this “flavored flour” to add aroma to your baking or sauces!

Oily / fatty foods
Please refrain from milling nuts or oily foods such as sesame, flax, or poppy seeds. Even coffee beans contain a great deal of oil, which leaves a film on the milling stones, rendering them incabable of processing the grain properly. However, you have the option to mill oily products or fresh herbs by milling them together with dry grains (mixing ratio: 5% oily product to 95% dry). Immediately afterwards, clean the Mockmill as described on page 9.

How to clean the milling stones and milling chamber
Choose a coarse setting and mill about half a cup of dry grain, such as wheat. Move the lever from coarse to fine and back again while milling. Milling on a very coarse setting, so that the grains are just broken, will quickly remove any film from the milling stones. For thoroughness the grains can be passed repeatedly through the Mockmill. Use this cleaning process right away any time you have included oilseeds in your milling. In severe cases, when a hard film has built up on the stones, it is advisable that a few slits be cut into the film’s surface with a sharp object, such as the tip of a paring knife. This creates a starting point for the cleaning process.

Supervision
The Mockmill is a piece of electrical equipment and should only be used under proper super-vision (and not by children).

Warning
Keep hands and other objects (such as spoons or screwdrivers) away from the milling mechanism at all times while the unit is switched on.
Failure to do so could cause injury ( to the fingers ) and / or damage the milling stones.

Cleaning

Never submerge the Mockmill in water or any other liquid. Wipe the casing clean with a slightly damp cloth. It is important that no water enter the mill.
The millstones should never be cleaned with water or a wet cloth! ( Please see the section “Cleaning the Mockmill” ). Always disconnect the appliance before cleaning.

GETTING STARTED AND CLEANING

ATTENTION:
Before starting your Mockmill LINO 100 / 200 for the first time, you‘ll need to remove the transport lock. To find out how, check page 11.

Before first use

Please mill a handful of grain on scale 6 and then discard the flour. This will remove any mineral debris from the manufacturing process on the milling stones.

Getting started – Please follow in order

Connect the plug to the power socket
Place a bowl beneath the chute
Switch on the mill
Select milling grade
Empty a handful of grains into the hopper
Let the mill complete the milling
Switch the unit off
Discard the resulting flour, as this first milling removes any mineral particles left over from the manufacturing process.

Don’t switch the Mockmill off while it is milling.
ALWAYS switch the Mockmill on prior to loading the hopper!
IMPORTANT: If you hear the sound of stone contact before reaching position 1 while adjusting downwards, please check the section “Choosing milling settings” on Page 15.

Cleaning

The milling stones clean themselves if you select a coarse setting from time to time. If the mill is not to be used for a while (extended vacation, for example), we recommend removing flour residues by milling on a coarser setting. Please see “How to clean the Mockmill” on p. 7.

OPENING THE MOCKMILL
If the Mockmill is not operating properly, or if heavy soiling is suspected it makes sense to open the Mockmill. Then you can remove grain residue from the milling chamber and clean the two stones using a soft brush or a wooden spatula. Be careful not to lose the two small springs that support the upper stones! Please follow the instructions below.
Please disconnect the Mockmill from the power socket before opening. Turn the hopper anti clockwise. You can now lift the upper stone (stator) and control the milling surfaces. Mockmill LINO 100 Professional 200 Stone Grain Mill
02 If a hard film has built up on the stones please see page 17 where we show how such a film can be removed. Now the stator can be put back into place so that the black mark on the stator is above the chute. Then you can remove grain residue from the milling chamber and clean the two stones using a soft brush or a wooden spatula. Be careful not to lose the two small springs that support the upper stones! Take the hopper and turn it one full time clockwise. Then plug the mill into the power socket and switch on. Turn the mill further until you hear a slight ticking noise (first stone contact).

REMOVE THE TRANSPORT LOCKING DEVICE
(ONLY FOR MOCKMILL LINO 100/200)
Please make sure the transport locking device is removed before the initial start up. Holding the chute with one hand, turn the hopper anti clockwise with the other hand. Remove the hopper. It is normal that some strength is required.
The transport locking device can now be removed by pulling on the red tag. The hopper can now be placed back onto the mill by turning this clockwise until you feel a strong resistance. At this point turn the hopper anti clockwise until the black dot is above the scale number 1. Now you can use your Mockmill as described in operating instructions.

You can use your Mockmill to mill all foods listed on pages 12–14.
Milling substances other than those listed or on our website may damage your mill and void the warranty. Do you have an idea or would you like to try something that you can not find on the list? Then please send us a mail to info@mockmill.com. We would like to support you and your milling ideas. The Mockmill is set so that you can hear a slight ticking noise from stones at scale position 1 when idling without grain. That is the finest setting. If no stone contact is heard at position 1, keep turning the hopper past that position until you hear a light ticking noise. At position 20 you will get coarse meal coming from the Mockmill. When an even coarser result is required then you can keep turning the hopper well past the end of the scale. There is no limit here, but at some point past 20 your grains will exit the mill whole.

TROUBLESHOOTING

In the unlikely event that you experience a problem with your Mockmill, or should you have any questions as to how it works, please call us or send us an e-mail to
info@mockmill.com
(USA to support@mockmill.com). Our experts can solve virtually all problems on the phone.
Listed below are some possible problems and how they can be usually resolved. The mockmill is humming, but it does not mill Switch h off the Mockmill and adjust the scale to position 10. Turn the Mockmill on. The milling should start again. Please make sure that you always switch the Mockmill first and then fill with grains.

When the Mockmill is still humming
Switch off the Mockmill and remove the plug from the socket. To remove the grains from the hopper, carefully lift and invert the Mockmill, pouring the grains into a bowl. Then turn the hopper past position 20. The mill can now be switched back on. The food causing the jam will be discharged. Now plug the Mockmill back in, switch it on, and adjust the scale to the required fineness. Now load the hopper with the grains and discharged food to continue milling. Please make sure that you always switch the Mockmill on first and then fill the hopper with grains.

Buildup on the milling stones
In the case that a hard film has formed on the stones, one that doesn’t disappear simply by milling hard grains on a coarse setting, please open the Mockmill as described on page 10. Using a sharp tool, such as a paring knife, make a few gashes across the film’s surface. Put the Mockmill back together, as shown starting on page 11, step 4, and mill on a very coarse setting 1 – 2 cups of hard grains. The gashes you made provide a point of attach for the coarse grains, and they will now be able to remove the film.
