Cleaning and caring for a grain mill
A good grain mill is a long-term appliance. Keep it dry, use suitable grain, avoid oily ingredients in stone mills and clean it before problems build up.
Daily care
Run grain through at the correct setting, let the mill finish clearing itself, and wipe the exterior with a dry or barely damp cloth. Avoid water around the grinding chamber unless the manufacturer says otherwise.
If flour flow slows
Use a coarser setting and mill a small amount of dry grain to help clear residue. If the mill has been used with damp or oily ingredients, stop and check the manual before continuing.
Long-term habits
- Store grain dry.
- Check grain for stones or debris.
- Do not overload the hopper beyond the product guidance.
- Keep proof of purchase and warranty information.
