to assemble
1 Optional: for easier pasta making,
warm the body, die and ring nut in
hot water, then dry.
2 Fit the scroll inside the pasta body.
3 Fit the die.
4 Fit the securing nut and tighten.
(Don’t use the spanner/pusher as
this is to assist with removal only).
●
Make sure the securing nut is almost
flush against the body of the
attachment.
5 Remove the outlet cover by pressing
its top then lifting off .
6 With the pasta maker in the position
shown , locate in the outlet, then
rotate into position.
7 Fit the hopper.
Optional: The cutting assembly
can be fitted to the assembled pasta
maker to assist with cutting the
pasta into the desired lengths.
1 With the handle of the cutting blade
uppermost, unscrew the clamp ring
slightly. Place over the securing nut
and twist if necessary until fully
home on the attachment. The die
should fit flush with the front of the
cutting assembly.
2 Hold the edge of the cutting
assembly and at the same time
tighten the clamp ring by turning
away from you
.
Note – Whenever you remove the
cutting assembly, always hold the
feed tube in one hand and unscrew
the clamp ring with the other by
turning towards you.
to use your pasta maker
1 Make your pasta mix following
a recipe supplied.
IMPORTANT
●
Don’t make the mix too dry as
it could break your pasta
maker or mixer. It should
resemble coarse breadcrumbs or a
coarse crumble texture. The particles
should be separate but if squeezed
together it should form a clump
which bonds together.
2 Switch the mixer onto speed 2-3.
3 Place some of the mix onto the
hopper. Feed a small amount of mix
into the feed tube at a time. Allow
the scroll to clear before continuing.
If the feed tube becomes clogged
use the end of the spanner/pusher
handle to push the mix onto the
scroll (don’t use anything other than
the spanner handle and don’t push
too hard). Never let the feed tube fill
up.
4 When the pasta is long enough,
move the handle on the cutting
assembly back and forth to cut the
pasta into the desired length.
Alternatively if the cutting assembly
is not fitted use a knife to cut the
pasta.
●
To change dies remove the cutting
assembly. Always hold the feed tube
in one hand and unscrew the clamp
ring with the other by turning
towards you. Remove the securing
nut (use the spanner/pusher to
loosen the securing nut if necessary)
and switch briefly to speed 1 to eject
the die. Remove the die and any
visible excess pasta and then fit the
desired die. Replace the securing
nut and cutting assembly.
warning
The pasta maker will get hot in use –
this is normal and is caused by the
pasta being compressed in the
attachment.
