...flour sprinkles out
of shutter slide
opening while pasta is
extruding
Don't pull the Shutter Slide out completely.

dropping into the Rotary Housing chamber.
...you want a quick
way to clean the parts
after making the
dough
Let the pasta dry after disassembling the housing and discs.
Just tap each piece on a hard surface, and the dried pasta will fall right
off.
...dough sticks in deep
slots of some discs
and is hard to flake
away to clean
Put disc in freezer for 10 minutes, tap on a hard surface and clean up
with a nut pick, if necessary.
The frozen dough should come off easily.
...you don't want to
cook the pasta right
away
Wrap it airtight in plastic wrap and refrigerate if storing for only several
hours.
Or, the dough can be wrapped airtight in plastic wrap, aluminum foil or
airtight container, and frozen until you want to use it.
