Cleaning and remedying malfunctions
Cleaning
Set the mill on “coarse”. Without any grain in the hopper, turn it on. Hold a
vacuum cleaner tube against the flour outlet and then against the grinding
outlet.
4. Keep the ventilation slots unobstructed.
5. Verify your existing home voltage is identical to voltage indicated on
the base plate of the mill (110v). Plug your mill in.
6. Do not clean the mill by inserting pointed objects into
the milling chamber, or using running water.
7. DO NOT operate with damaged plug or electrical
cord. If the plug is damaged, it must be replaced
Quick cleaning
For cleaning, rough-grind approx. 1⁄4 - 1⁄3 cup rice or wheat at the coarse
setting.
by the manufacturer.
8. This mill is designed for normal household use,
and is not suitable for commercial use.
9. Never leave your mill unattended while in use.
10. Keep small children away from the mill at all times.

If the motor will not start
Rotate the grain hopper to coarse setting (counter-clockwise) until the
motor starts. Then adjust the grind setting again to the desired setting.
If the motor stalls during operation.
This may be caused from overheating or improper use. The Harvest mill
has a built-in thermal cut-off switch stops the motor to prevent serious
damage. Unplug and allow the mill to cool down. Try restarting the mill. If
the problem persists, you need to troubleshoot the source:
Simple operational steps

•
•
Plug in the power cord
Turn on the mill´s switch
Adjust the grind (texture) setting (see
fine adjustments Pg 5)
•
•
•
•
Is the grain too moist?
•
•
•
Pour grain into the hopper and begin
milling.
Re-adjust grind setting of flour, if
deisired.
When finished milling, turn off the mill´s
switch and unplug the power cord.
Are the millstones or the mill chamber clogged?
Is there a foreign object caught between the millstones?
Did you turn the mill on when the hopper was filled and the millstones
were at the finest grind setting?

Fine adjustment
Harveꢀ
Your mill has been calibrated by hand. This has been done by milling grain
at the finest setting. The “grind setting marker” has been fixed at the base
of the hopper. To adjust the fineness of the flour simply rotate the hopper
continuously between coarse and fine. To locate the finest setting, first
turn on the mill, with the grain hopper empty. Rotate the hopper clockwise
until you can just hear the millstones touch. Then rotate the hopper back
slightly counter-clockwise, to the point where the sound of the millstones
contact disappears. This is the closest space between the two millstones,
and is the finest grinding setting. The scale below the hopper can help
you remember this setting. This point on the scale may vary slightly with
changing temperature and humidity.
Material to be ground and milling capacity
The Harvest mill is suited for milling all types of non-oily grains, beans and
legumes as well as corn (except popcorn). Purchase only cleaned grain.
Uncleaned grain often contains small stones which may damage the grinding
stones of your mill. Use only dry grain. Damp grain may stick to the millstones
affecting performance.
Removing the millstones (for cleaning or replacing)
Disassembly:
1. Pull the plug.
While grinding, you can rotate the hopper in either direction in
order to produce a finer or coarser flour.
2. Turn the hopper counter-clockwise.
3. Remove the upper stone.
CAUTION: If the mill is turned off and the hopper contains grain,
do not adjust the setting to the fine setting! This could jam remaining
flour and grain between the millstones, causing the motor to stall. If your
motor stalls, turn off the motor, then rotate the hopper counter-clockwise
toward the coarse setting. Turn on the mill and re-adjust the setting as
desired.
4. While holding the lower stone, turn the screw in the
middle of the stone clockwise using a 4 mm allen
wrench. This is a reverse threaded screw.
5. Lift both left and right sides of the rubber
insert to lift the lower stone out of the
housing.
Reassembly:
6. Replace the rubber insert by pushing
the outlet tube as far as possible into
the flour outlet in the housing. Now
push down the bottom of the insert
from front to back until the insert
is seated in the bottom. Align the
holes on the right and left.
Grob = Course
Fein = Fine
7. Put the lower millstone onto the motor
shaft (align the slot in the middle of the
stone with the tab on the motor shaft).
8. Place the small washer over the hole in
the stone, place the metal block over the washer, align the holes and
insert the screw. Turn screw counter-clockwise (reverse of normal)
until tight.
9. Set the upper millstone in place, screw the hopper onto the mill and
adjust to the desired setting.
