1. Inspect the rotor for dents or cracks. If it is damaged,
DO NOT USE. Make sure all three Fins are inserted into the
rotor and are firmly seated in their slots. The “bite” out of
the fin points down (see the picture for proper orientation).
WARNING: If the fins are not installed properly or are missing,
the rotor CANNOT balance itself and the Spinzall will not
operate properly and may get damaged or cause injury.
2. Optionally fill the Rotor up to the “Max Fill” line on the
interior of the Rotor. If you do not fill the Rotor now, you may
fill it when the Rotor is spinning. If you add more than the
“Max Fill” you may prevent the Rotor from spinning, or you
may spill cloudy liquid into the bowl. Although the Spinzall
will balance itself, try to fill the three sections of the Rotor
equally. NOTE: When spinning very thick products the Spinzall
may wobble as it begins to spin. It should settle out as it
speeds up. If it does not stop wobbling, turn off the machine
and let it stop. WARNING: do not fill the Rotor with liquids
weighing more than 1.23 grams per milliliter (the density of
1:1 simple syrup). WARNING: do not fill the Rotor with warm
alcohol or with any alcoholic beverage greater than 40% ABV
or warmer than 25°C, or any other flammable or explosive
product. There is risk of severe injury or death if you do.

HOW TO RUN YOUR SPINZALL IN BATCH MODE
Batch Mode is best when you have less than 480 ml of product or when you are making solids,
like no-churn butter or Greek yogurt. Batch Mode also usually produces the clearest results
and is the fastest technique
per milliliter
. In Batch Mode you simply fill the assembled rotor
with your product up to the “Max Fill” line (480 ml) or below, and spin it for the desired time.
If you are clarifying a liquid, solids will be flung to the outer part of the rotor, where they will
stick to each other and form a “puck.” When the cycle is done the Spinzall will gently slow
itself to a stop over the course of a minute. You may then press the Unlock Lid switch, open the
machine, and recover the product. Be gentle with the rotor during recovery: sudden or violent
movements can re-suspend cloudy particles from the puck, ruining your result. Liquids can be
poured out of the rotor. Often you will find a few floating particles in the liquid that you can
easily filter out with a fine mesh strainer (untreated, finely woven cotton kitchen towels make
ideal strainers.) These floating particles will not affect product clarity. To harvest solids out of
the rotor, gently slide out the fins for easier access. The rotor, bowl, and lid can now be washed
by hand or in a dishwasher. The downside of Batch Mode is you must open, clean, fill, and
close the Spinzall quite often when making a large amount of product. For this reason, there
is Continuous Mode. In Continuous Mode you pump product through the Spinzall while it is
running, so you can clarify much more than 480 ml at a time (see “How To Run Your Spinzall In
Continuous Mode” page 13). To see a video of the Batch Mode procedure, visit spinzall.com.

7. Remove the Bowl by twisting it counterclockwise on the
Motor Base and lifting up. The Bowl may be tight on the
Motor Base and require a good bit of force to twist open. The
easiest way to apply the necessary force is to grab the Motor
Base with your hand and use your thumb to push the Bowl
counterclockwise as shown in the picture.
