* We can save electricity if we schedule the grinding process to specific time. It will reduce the depreciation of stone also.
* Some people switch on the grinder without adding contents. This should be avoided.
* We should not add all contents at once, the contents like rice, pulses etc.. they should be added one by one.
* The wet grinder should be placed in an even surface without ups and downs. This will help for smooth grinding process.
* When the grinder is running we should not touch the contents for any reason.
* We should soak the contents in water before grinding them. If it is not done for required time it will lengthen the time of grinding. The flour will not be smooth. It will increase the power consumption also.
* 30 minutes grinding will be sufficient for rice and urad dal.
* A 1Ltr grinder can grind 1/2 kg of grains. Similarly for 1.5 ltr and two ltr grinder the contents should not exceed 3/4 kg and 1 kg respectively. It will be wrong if we try to add grains exceeding half of the capacity of grinder.
* To grind rice, pulses etc., we should use required water. Some people think that using more water will result in more flour which is wrong.
* For Idly and Dosa flour it would be advisable to use less share of Urad dal. It can be 1/3 or 1/4.
* Before starting the grinding process check whether the grinding stone is connected to its chain properly.
* Check for the proper fit of cross arm blade before switching on the grinder.
* Wash the stones and inside portion of grinder before and after its use.
* Check the screws, bolts, belts etc., regularly to ensure smooth grinding.
* No need to use oil or crease frequently.
If you feel that these things are a bit boring and you would like to avoid doing the later half of the instructions buy a table top grinder

Hi Lalitha,
As you said having product is easy. But maintaining the product in good condition will really matter much. Nowadays almost 50% of the people are having wet grinders. But how many are really using it is very less. Because they have to clean the grinder after every use. So many ladies are feeling it is waste of time and they are sending the pulses outside for grinding purpose. Main cleanliness should be followed. But when we send the pulses outside will they really maintain the neatness. No, definitely not. So, people should keep in mind before buying a product that how far they will use the product and to what extent it will help them. They should see your guidance too.

Hi lalithaji,
Today's women prefer to buy tabletop grinders than the usual big one's with chains.Nowaday's it is very rare to find those type of grinders with chains.It is very difficult to move the stone,washing it and most importantly it needs more space than the table tops which in today's time one finds it difficult as many of us live in pigeon cage apartments.But my mother finds difficult to use table tops as she is more used to those kind of grinder's with chains.Most of your suggestions are applicable to both tabletops and the old one's.Thank you very much for the tips.I found it very useful.
Regards,
Sudhersana.
