Please take special care to think of these four things before you start using your Mockmill:!

Before you turn on the mixer, too, load the hopper up. It's simply best practice, as this way the
mill is being fed from the moment it starts turning! That protects the stones from wear.!

When the Mockmill is set all the way at fine, the stones may actually touch. During milling, the
grain material forms a buffer between the stones, so that the turning rotor stone is actually
"pushed away" a few micrometers. That way the stones don't touch. Therefore, it's best not to
start your Mockmill up on "very fine". With the Mockmill set on the second or third smallest
“dot”, turn on the mill and immediately adjust it downward (if you wish) to the finest setting (see
below.) So: remember this: Start out not-too-fine!!

The Mockmill is delivered with its stones still unused from the factory. There may be a little
stone residue left over from the manufacturing process, and so it's important to "flush" the
Mockmill by grinding some flour "to throw away." We suggest using rice for this purpose. It's
relatively cheap and, being brittle, is a really good stone cleaning agent. !
Take about a half-cup of rice, fill the hopper with it, and turn on the mixer. As the mill turns,
move the adjustment knob slowly back and forth from coarse to fine. You’ll probably see some
black particles in the white rice flour at first, and then only fine, white rice flour. The different
grades of ground rice being produced each do their part to get your brand-new stones ready for
use! (Also, you'll get your first feel for how your new tool works!)!

Every Mockmill has its own “personality”. The stones are man-made into a composite paste,
formed in moulds and then baked for days at tremendously high temperatures. Although the
manufacturing tolerances are very tight, the fine distance kept between the stones means that
every stone set works together in a way particular to that set. !
For that reason, it's impossible to provide a precise setting indicator on the adjustment knob. So
the "dots" you have are indicators rather than fixed settings. They are indicative of the direction
in which you need to turn your mill to go towards the grade you want.!
