Level the pasta by shaking the container gently. Pour in the water (*) required to cover the pasta com-
pletely until it reaches one of the two levels (L1 or L2) on the mixer as shown in the pictures below:

•
Remember that the level of water must ALWAYS reach either Level L1 or Level L2 and must never be between the two.
IMPORTANT:
•
REMEMBER TO PUT IN THE PASTA FIRST AND THEN THE WATER.
•
THE PASTA MUST BE COMPLETELY COVERED BY THE WATER OR PASTA EMERGING
FROM THE WATER COULD BE OVERCOOKED AND ASSUME A BURNT COLOUR.
Remember that pasta increases considerably in volume during cooking. If level 1 provides only minimal
coverage of the pasta (eg. pasta with high volume formats), you are recommended to increase the water
to L2.
(*)
The water may be either at room temperature (about 20°C) or hot (about 50°C).
The hotter the water, the shorter the cooking time.
