Setting Up Your Impact Grain MillUpdated 2 months ago

Proper setup of your NutriMill Impact Grain Mill ensures smooth operation and optimal milling performance. Follow these step-by-step instructions to assemble your mill and prepare it for use.


1. Unboxing & Checking Components

Before setting up your mill, ensure all components are included:

  • Impact Grain Mill Base
  • Hopper (8-cup capacity)
  • Flour Canister (12-cup capacity)
  • Cyclo Cup (for optimal airflow)
  • Flour Tube
  • Canister Lid with Filter
  • Detachable Power Cord

2. Assembling the Mill

Step 1: Attach the Cyclo Cup

  • Connect the Cyclo Cup to the underside of the canister lid to ensure proper flour separation and airflow.

Step 2: Insert the Filter

  • Place the filter inside the canister lid to help contain flour dust.

Step 3: Secure the Lid to the Canister

  • Line up the lid notch with the canister slot and press firmly down.
  • Push down on the canister latch to lock it into place.

Step 4: Attach the Flour Canister to the Mill

  • Align the flour outlet tube with the grommet in the lid.
  • The canister latch will click into place when properly secured.

Step 5: Attach the Hopper

  • Lower the hopper onto the mill base.
  • Rotate the hopper clockwise until it locks into place.

Important: The mill will not turn on unless the hopper is properly locked.


3. Preparing for First-Time Use

Before milling flour for consumption, clean the mill by following these steps:

  1. Plug in the mill and turn it on.
  2. Mill 2 cups of white rice and discard the flour—this removes any manufacturing residues.
  3. Wipe the flour canister, lid, and hopper with a dry cloth.

Your NutriMill Impact is now ready for regular use.


4. How to Operate the Mill

  1. Plug the mill into an outlet.
  2. Fill the hopper with your desired amount of grain. A full hopper (8 cups) will yield approximately 12 cups of flour.
  3. Turn the power knob clockwise to start the mill. The motor will begin running before the grain feeds into the milling chamber.
  4. Adjust the control knobto set the grain feed rate:
    • Lower feed rate for finer flour
    • Higher feed rate for coarser flour
  5. When milling is complete, turn the control knob counterclockwise to power off the mill.

5. Removing Flour from the Canister

  1. Press down on the canister latch.
  2. Pull firmly on the hand grip to release the canister from the mill.
  3. Unlock the lid by pulling up on the latch.
  4. Lift the lid carefully while pressing down gently on the lip of the canister to release the seal.
  5. Tap the lid before removing to minimize flour dust.
  6. Enjoy your freshly milled flour.

6. Best Practices for Milling

  • Only use dry, clean grains – Avoid milling grains with high moisture or oil content.
  • Do not overfill the hopper – A level hopper ensures even milling.
  • Mill white rice periodically – Milling ¼ cup of white rice helps clean the milling heads after extended use.
  • Store in a dry area – Keep the mill away from moisture to preserve its performance.
