to use your pasta
maker
1 Make your pasta mix following a
recipe supplied.
●
Don’t make the mix too dry
as it could break your pasta
maker or machine.
It should
resemble coarse breadcrumbs or a
coarse crumble texture. The
particles should be separate but if
squeezed together it should form a
clump which bonds together.
2 Switch the machine onto
speed 2-3.
3 Place some of the mix onto the
hopper. Feed a small amount of
mix into the feed tube at a time.
Allow the scroll to clear before
continuing. If the feed tube
becomes clogged use the end of
the spanner/pusher handle to push
the mix onto the scroll (do not use
anything other than the spanner
handle and do not push too hard).
Never let the feed tube fill up.
4 When the pasta is long enough,
move the handle on the cutting
assembly back and forth to cut the
pasta into the desired length.
Alternatively if the cutting assembly
is not fitted use a knife to cut the
pasta.
●
To change dies remove the cutting
assembly. Always hold the edge of
the cutting assembly in one hand
and twist the clamp ring towards
you and remove. Remove the
securing nut (use the
spanner/pusher to loosen the
securing nut if necessary) and
switch briefly to speed 1 to eject
the die. Remove the die and any
visible excess pasta and then fit
the desired die. Replace the
securing nut and cutting assembly.
warning
The pasta maker will get hot in use
– this is normal and is caused by
the pasta being compressed in the
attachment.
cleaning
Don’t wash any part in the
dishwasher.

●
Always hold the edge of the
cutting assembly in one hand and
twist the clamp ring towards you
and remove. Remove the securing
nut, use the spanner/pusher to
loosen the securing nut if
necessary. Remove the attachment
from the machine and dismantle
the parts.
dies
The Maccheroni rigati, Maccheroni
lisci and Bucatini dies can be
pulled apart to assist with the
cleaning process
.
●
Clean immediately after use,
otherwise the pasta will dry and be
extremely difficult to remove. Use
the cleaning tool to remove all the
pasta from the dies. The thicker
end of the tool is ideal for cleaning
the larger holes on the Maccheroni
rigati die, whilst the thinner end is
suitable for cleaing other dies.
Wash in hot soapy water, then dry
thoroughly.
