Keeping your Mockmill LINO 100 Professional 200 stone grain mill clean is vital for its performance and lifespan. Here's a straightforward cleaning guide:
-
Self-Cleaning: The milling stones often clean themselves when you occasionally use a coarse setting. If you're not planning to use the mill for a while, running it on a coarser setting helps remove any remaining flour.
-
Cleaning the Milling Stones and Chamber:
- Set the mill to a coarse setting.
- Mill about half a cup of dry grain, like wheat.
- Move the lever back and forth from coarse to fine while milling.
- Repeat this process for a more thorough cleaning.
- If you've been milling oilseeds and notice residue buildup, carefully cut a few slits in the residue with a sharp knife to aid in cleaning.
-
Dealing with Oily/Fatty Foods: Avoid milling nuts or oily seeds such as sesame, flax, or poppy seeds directly. If you must mill these, mix them with dry grains (about 5% oily product to 95% dry grain). Always clean the Mockmill immediately after milling oily items.
-
Important Safety: Always supervise the Mockmill during use and cleaning, and keep it out of reach of children.
-
Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the mill's exterior with a slightly damp cloth. Never submerge the Mockmill in water or any other liquid. Protect the mill from any water exposure.
By following these cleaning steps, you can help ensure your Mockmill LINO 100 Professional 200 stone grain mill continues to perform optimally for many years.
