Omcan PM-IT-0002, Instruction Manual

Installation

After mating the plug to the mains socket, the machine is ready for use. First, however, check out proper 

operation of all moving parts and components of the machine.

Operation

Prepare the machine before every process cycle. BE SURE that the machine, especially parts which come in 

contact with food products (extrusion sleeve, worm, pool, mixer and drawplate) are perfectly clean (see the 

Maintenance Section).

Always clean with machine off.

USE OF THE MACHINE

Only after making sure that the machine is completely clean, especially all the parts which are directly 

in contact with the product (extrusion sleeve, worm, pool, mixer, drawplate, cover, control system; if it is 

necessary, use some warm water; see Maintenance) you can carry out the requested operations in order to 

have the desired dough.

After having turned the machine off:

•  Position the selector on “0” (Fig.2C) and verify the correct set-up of the worm (Fig.1A) making sure that the 

cylinder part is sustained by the dragging shaft.

• 

Then make sure that the plastic cap (Fig.1B) which replaces the drawplate is correctly positioned and the 

ring nut (Fig.1C) is tightly well-screwed on.

•  Finally block the mixer (Fig.1D) in its place, thanks to the head-handle (Fig.1E). Pull up the pool cover 

(Fig.3A) and always put in the pre-established ingredients in the following sequence: flour and then, after 

closing the cap, all the other liquid elements.

In order to obtain the right dough, you need to create the right ratio between the weight of the flour and the 

weight of the liquid part; in order to obtain a very good product, the flour has to contain a humidity percentage 

of no more than 15%; this allows the addition of water equal to 35% or up to 38% of the flour’s weight. If you 

are using flours with different humidity contents, please change the quantity of the liquid in the opposite ratio. 

Moreover, in order to better use the machine, the product inside the pool has to be higher than at a minimum 

level which coincides more or less with the position of the mixer axle.

Now shut the cover and put the selector in the        position (Fig.4A). Push the start button (Fig.4B). Add 

the liquid part pouring it slowly but quickly through the small hole in the cover. At the end of the kneading 

operation, which should take around 10 minutes, make sure the product has the right thickness and should 

look like coffee beans (check through the small holes of the cover). Turn the machine off by switching the 

selector to “0” (Fig.4C), or push the Stop button (Fig.4E).
