CONTROL OF THE INSTALLATION

NOTE: Every drive is voluntarily run by the start button

Turn the general switch to position “1” (Fig.25 A) and check the following:

•  Make sure that the mixer is rotating counter-clockwise, facing the front of the machine, when the switch 

(Fig.26) is placed on the “mix” position 

, (the Archimedean screw also turns counter-clockwise) (Fig.26 

A). In the “0” position all of the machine’s elements should be still; in the drawplate position 

, the mixer 

turns clockwise, the Archimedean screw should turn the same way (check from the cover slits).

•  Check the efficiency of the double safety device on the cover. The device sets off two micro-switches; one 

is controlled by the lever on the cover (Fig.28 A), inside the bar hole; and the other from the cover itself 

(Fig.28 B). To verify, check that the internal micro-switch starts to intervene only when the rod has not yet 

left the bar itself; you should hear the cover-microswitch click when the cover is loosened 10-15 mm.

•  For functioning of push-buttons and flashing lights.

•  The knife in its working position should be turning clockwise (Fig.27).

•  The correct connection of the water cooling system, should include checking for eventual water leaks 

(Fig.24).

If the machine or some of its parts breakdown, call your local authorised dealer or concessionaire for 

repairs.

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

contact with the product (extrusion sleeve, Archimedean screw, pool, mixer, drawplate, knife, guards, control 

system; if it is necessary, use some warm water; see CLEANING) you can carry out the requested operations 

in order to have the desired dough.

After having turned the machine off:

•  Position the main switch on “0” (Fig.1 A) and check the correct  set-up of  the Archimedean screw, making 

sure that the cylinder part is sustained by the dragging shaft.

•  Then make sure that  the plastic cap (Fig.2 A) which replaces the drawplate is correctly positioned and the 

ring nut (Fig.2 B) is well-screwed on.

• 

Finally block the mixer in its place, thanks to the head-knob (Fig.2 C).

Lift the pool cover or hopper (Fig.3 B), by pulling the hooking lever (Fig.3 A), 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 precise 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 33% or up to

35% of the flour’s weight.

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