Cleaning Brush — use to clean
burrs and other mill parts after use.

NOTE: Do not immerse grain mill in
water or other liquid. Do not wash
in dishwasher. For recommended
cleaning methods, See the “Care
and Cleaning” section.

NOTE: The grain mill is designed to
grind only low-moisture, non-oily
grains. Do not grind peanuts, coffee
beans, soybeans, or sunflower seeds
with the grain mill; their high oil or
high-moisture contents can damage
the grinding mechanism.

Grain Mill Attachment

The following attachment is
designed to mill low-moisture, non­oily grains such as wheat, corn, rye,
oats, rice, buckwheat, barley, and
millet.

Grain Mill Body — serves as a
hopper; guides grains into grinding
burr

Grind Worm — drives grinding
action

Movable Burr — grinds whole
grains into flour

Adjustment Knob — adjusts the
fineness of the grind

NOTE: The grinding burrs of this

unit have been lightly coated with
mineral oil to help avoid rusting
during storage. Before using the
grain mill, wash off the oil with a
mild detergent solution and dry
thoroughly. If you do not remove
the oil, the burrs will become
clogged and the grinding action will
slow down. After using the grain
mill, follow the “Care and Cleaning”
section.

TO ASSEMBLE:

Insert the attachment power shaft
(A) with the grind worm (B) and
movable burr (C) into the grain mill
body (D). Mount the front plate (E)
with adjustment knob (F) onto the
front of the shaft. Turn and tighten
screws into place.

ENGLISH

Flour ground with the grain mill will
have a coarser texture than
commercially ground flour. The
grain mill grinds, and you receive,
all parts of the berry; commercial
grinders sift out some parts of the
berry before marketing the flour.

It is not necessary to press grain
into the grain mill hopper with your
hands or any utensil. The moving
grind worm will feed the grain into
the grinding burrs.

One cup of grain yields between 11⁄4
(296 mL) and 11⁄2 (355 mL) cups of
flour.

One cup of oats yields

7

⁄8 cup

(207 mL) of flour.

If you grind more flour than your
recipe requires, store it in the
refrigerator or freezer to avoid
rancidity, since this product contains
no preservatives.

Do not grind coffee beans in your
grain mill; their high oil content can
damage the grinding mechanism.

Do not grind grains or nuts with a
high moisture or oil content, such
as peanuts, sunflower seed, and
soybeans. These can also damage
the grinding mechanism.

Tips for Milling Grain

Attaching Your Grain Mill

Before attaching the grain mill, turn
off and unplug the stand mixer.

1. Depending on which type of hub
you have, either flip up the hinged
cover or loosen the attachment
knob (A) by turning it
counterclockwise and remove
attachment hub cover.

2. Insert the attachment shaft
housing (B) into the attachment
hub (C), making certain that the
power shaft fits into the square
hub socket. Rotate the attachment
back and forth if necessary. When
the attachment is in proper
position, the pin on the
attachment housing will fit into
the notch on the hub rim.

3. Tighten the attachment knob (A)
until the unit is completely
secured to the mixer.

Suggested Grains

All these low-moisture, non-oily
grains may be ground in your
KitchenAid®grain mill:

WHEAT — Many different types of
wheat are grown in the United
States. Hard wheat, with a high
percentage of protein, is generally
considered best for bread flour; soft
wheats are preferred for cakes,
cookies, and other baked goods.
Mix hard and soft wheats for all­purpose flour.

CORN — Grind fine for baking,
coarse for corn meal mush.

RYE — Combine rye flour with
wheat flour for best results with rye
bread; rye does not contain enough
gluten for good rising.

OATS — Oats must be hulled before
grinding for flour, or use rolled oats.
Oat hulls block proper feeding of
grain into grinding burrs. In most
recipes you can substitute oat flour
for up to 1⁄3 of the all-purpose flour.

RICE — Both white and brown rice
grind well.

BUCKWHEAT — For best results,
buckwheat should be hulled before
grinding. Raw and toasted
buckwheat both grind well.

BARLEY — For best results, barley
should be hulled before grinding.

MILLET — Before grinding, toast
millet in a heavy, dry skillet to bring
out this very small grain’s unique
flavor. Stir constantly to avoid
burning.

Your local library or health food store
can provide more information on
grains.

ENGLISH

TO USE:

Note the grind symbols at the top
of the dial. The Fine Grind symbol
(A) indicates the finest grind setting.
The Coarse Grind symbol (B)
indicates the setting for the grind
that is most coarse. Each notch on
the dial represents a grind setting.

1. Select the finest grind setting by
turning the adjustment knob (C)
clockwise to the Fine Grind
symbol (A) and immediately turn
adjustment knob back 2 notches.

Using Your Grain Mill

Care and Cleaning

TO CLEAN:

1. Turn stand mixer speed control
to OFF.

2. Unplug stand mixer.

3. Remove the grain mill from the
stand mixer.

4. Clean burrs and other mill parts
with the provided brush.

The Mill does not necessarily need
to be cleaned after every use, but
should be brushed when you are
changing types of grains. If needed,
a toothpick may be used to clean
the burr grooves.

IMPORTANT: Do not wash grain
mill or any of its parts in an
automatic dishwasher.

If the grain mill must be washed,
wash it by hand with mild
detergent and warm water. Dry
thoroughly with a towel. Allow to
air dry. Do not reassemble until
next use. If burrs are not
completely dry, grain may clog the
mill.

If the unit is to be stored for a long
period of time, lightly coat the
burrs with mineral oil. Before next
use, hand wash as directed above
to remove the mineral oil.

2. Fill the hopper with grain.

3. Once the grain is added, start the
mixer at speed 10.

NOTE: If the grind is too fine, turn
the adjustment knob
counterclockwise, one notch at a
time, until desired coarseness is
obtained.

4. Continue to replenish grain in the
hopper until the desired amount
of grain is ground.

NOTE: Do not grind more than
10 cups (2.4 L) of flour at one time;
damage to mixer may result. After
grinding 10 cups (2.4 L) of flour,
allow the mixer to cool at least
45 minutes before using it again.
