HOW TO PREPARE THE MACHINE FOR USE
Fix the machine onto the table with the clamp provided and insert the handle into the
roller hole (See Fig.1 page 4).
When using the machine for the first time, clean it with a dry cloth to remove any
excess oil. To clean the rollers, pass a small quantity of dough through them and then
throw the dough away.
HOW TO PREPARE THE PASTA DOUGH
Serves 6 people
Ingredients: 2 cups soft wheat flour and 5 eggs at room temperature, instead of using 5
eggs you can use 1 cup of natural mineral water.
For “al dente” pasta, mix 1 cup of soft wheat flour with 1 cup of durum wheat flour: Do
not add any salt!
Pour the flour into a bowl and the eggs into the middle of the flour (Fig. 2).
Mix the eggs in with a fork until they are completely blended with the flour. Knead the
mixture with your hands (Fig. 3) until it is completely homogenous and consistent. If the
mixture is too dry, add some water, if it is too soft add some flour. A good mixture
should never stick to your fingers.
Remove the mixture from the bowl and place it onto a lightly floured table. If necessary,
continue to knead the mixture and cut it into small pieces (Fig. 4). Advice: do not use
eggs straight from the fridge, eggs should be at room temperature!
HOW TO USE THE PASTA MACHINE TO MAKE THE PASTA
Set the machine regulator to position 1, pulling it outwards and turning it so that the
two smooth rollers are completely open (approximately 1/8"/3mm) (Fig.5).
Pass a piece of dough through the machine while turning the handle (Fig. 6).
Repeat this operation 5-6 times, folding the dough over and adding some flour to the
middle if necessary. (Fig. 7).
When the dough has taken a regular shape, pass it through the rollers once only with
the regulators set on number 2 (Fig. 8), then once again on number 3 continuing until
you obtain the desired thickness (minimum thickness at no. 9, approximately 0.2mm).
With a knife, cut the dough crossways in pieces approximately 10"/25cm long. Insert
the handle in the hole for the cutting rollers, turn it slowly and pass the dough through
so as to obtain the type of pasta you prefer (Fig. 9).
Note 1—If the rollers wonʼt “cut”, this means the dough is too soft, pass the dough
through the smooth rollers, after adding some flour to the mixture.
Note 2—When the dough is too dry and cannot be “caught” by the cutting rollers, add a
little water to the mixture and pass it through the smooth rollers once again. Place the
pasta on a table-cloth and leave it to dry for at least an hour.

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS
Pasta can last a long time (1-2 weeks) if kept in a cool dry place. Bring a pan of
salted water to a boil (1 gallon/4 liters per 1lb/1/2kg of pasta). Add the pasta. Fresh
pasta cooks in just a few minutes, averaging 2-5 minutes, depending on the
thickness. Stir gently when finished cooking, drain the pasta.
MAINTENANCE OF THE MACHINE
In order to remove the cutting attachment from the machine, lift it up manually
making it slide along its tracks. To install attachments onto the machine (Fig. 10),
repeat this procedure in reverse.
1. During use, clean the scrapers underneath the smooth rollers every so often with a
piece of kitchen paper (Fig.11).
2. Never wash the machine with water or in the dishwasher (Fig.12).
3. To clean the machine after use, use a brush or a wooden rod (Fig. 13).
4. If necessary put several drops of mineral oil on the ends of the cutting rollers (Fig. 14)
5. Do not insert knives or cloths in between the rollers!
6. After use, replace the machine and its accessories back in their original box.
