Mockmill stone milling attachment
A. Adjustment knob
B. Stainless Steel spout
C. Hopper
D. Fixing screw
E. Body with scale
Loosen the fixing screw and remove the protection from the kitchen machine. Insert the Mockmill with the metal square in the opening of the kitchen machine and if necessary move the Mockmill back and forth until it is firmly seated in the square opening. When the Mockmill is seated properly, the pin on the Mockmill snaps into the notch on the edge of the ferrule. Tighten the supplied extra-long fixing screw until the Mockmill is securely connected to the food processor.
1. Fold down the stainless-steel spout over the edge of the bowl
2. Set the milling degree
3. Fill with grains
4. Switch on the kitchen machine
Before use, mill one cup of grain on a coarse position and dispose of this flour.
This process cleans the stones of possible manufacturing-related soiling.
Simply turn the adjustment. The fineness of the flour can be adjusted between 'fine' and 'coarse', even during the milling process. The differently sized dots on the scale will help you.
The finest position is somewhat variable: Turn the adjustment knob in the direction 'fine' until the arrow on the adjustment is opposite the smallest point on the scale. Very vivid to see in our video. It is possible to turn a little beyond that, but only so far that you do not hear the stones touching each other during milling (a grinding noise!). If you have turned it too far, the flour flow decreases and can come to a stop. Then if you turn back the flour flow starts again.
Fold the spout down over the edge of the bowl. Fill up with grains and turn on your kitchen machine. It is best to mill at high speed.
You can already stir the other ingredients for your dough while you are milling in the bowl. You can interrupt the milling process at any time and switch on / off the device as required.
Attention: For models with tilt able engine head, please note that it must not be tilted while grain is in the hopper.
If you mill it from time to time on a course setting, the mill cleans itself. When the machine has stood for a long time or will stand (holidays) we recommend that you clean the mill of flour residues.
This is very simple: disassemble the Mockmill as shown in the photos in the next section. Clean the stones with flour residue with a brush.
Turn off the kitchen machine and unplug the appliance. Remove the hopper and stainless-steel spout from the Mockmill. Remove the Mockmill from your kitchen machine.

Fig. A: Turn the adjustment knob over the coarsest setting until you feel resistance.
Turn it over and above this resistance.
Fig. B: Lift off the adjustment knob.
Figure C
Figure D
Fig. C & D: Lay the Mockmill with the flange downwards (see picture). Hold the case on both sides at the height of the writing and press with your thumb against the side with the 3 springs. Pull the case towards you at the same time (if necessary, lightly tap the Mockmill with the spring side on a firm surface to release the case). Remove the housing.

Fig. G: Remove the flange. The mill is open, both stones are free and can be brushed off.
To assemble the Mockmill, proceed in reverse order. The Mockmill is designed so that you cannot assemble it incorrectly.
The Mockmill stone mill, mill all seven types of grain (wheat, rye, oats, barley, corn, brown rice, millet) as well as the respective subspecies such as spelt, kamut, quinoa, amaranth, triticale and dry legumes. Please use corn, never popcorn. This cannot be milled and also does not have the appropriate flour body.
Please use only purified grain. The uncleaned grain often contains small stones that could damage the mill.
Always use dry grain. Moist crops cause the mill smear and then this must be cleaned. You recognize dry grain as the grain crackles vigorously when you crush it with a spoon on a hard surface. Moist cereals can be pressed flat and then looks like an oatmeal. Rye should be stored for at least half a year after harvesting.
The devices are designed to handle normal domestic use and are not intended for commercial use.
Attention! Never mill more than 2.5 kg of grain at once. If you have actually ground 2.5 kg at a time, the kitchen machine should cool for 30 minutes before using it again.
Dry spices such as pepper, coriander, cardamom, etc. can be milled well. (After you have milled these ingredients please mill a small amount of grain such as wheat to clear the mill of the smell.)
Never mill nuts or other oily seeds such as sesame seeds, poppy seeds, etc. Coffee beans also contain a lot of oil, which can cause the milling stones to smear.
The Mockmill is operated together with an electrical device, and that should always be supervised. The Mockmill should not be operated by children without supervision.
The Mockmill may only be operated with the hopper is attached.
Warning: Under no circumstances should fingers or any other objet be inserted it when the Mockmill is attached to the kitchen machine.
Items such as spoons, screwdrivers, etc. can damage the millstones.
The Mockmill should never be submerged in water or other liquids.
Assembled, the Mockmill may be wiped slightly damp on the outside. However, no water should penetrate the Mockmill. The millstones must never be cleaned wet.
