MAKINg PASTA
Automatic Method
1. Assemble the machine as described in the Assembly Section of the
manual, making sure to choose the correct pasta disc for the type of
pasta you desire.
2. Open the top of the machine.
3. Measure the flour and add it to the mixing bowl. Do not pack the flour
into the measuring cup. Use the pasta cutter to even out the flour
across the measuring cup. Replace the top cover and lock it in place.
4. Place the water injection dish onto the designated area on the top
cover. Ensure it is placed correctly. The holes in the water injection
dish should be on the opposite side of the holes on the top cover and
when it is placed it will sit level.
5. Put a tray under the extruding holes in the front of the machine.
6. Plug the machine in and the display will turn on.
7. Measure out the liquid so it will be ready - do NOT pour it into the
water injection dish quite yet.
8. Press the Auto button. The auger will begin to turn and the timer will
start for the indicated amount of time.
9. As soon as the mixing process begins, add the water to the water
injection dish. The water is slowly added and mixed into the flour to
make the dough.
10. When mixing is complete, the machine will automatically begin to
extrude the pasta.
11. When the pasta initially starts to extrude from the machine it will be a
little dryer and the noodles will get wetter as it extrudes more of the
dough.
12. As the pasta extrudes from the machine, use the pasta cutter along
the front of the pasta disc to cut the pasta to the length that you want.
Ensure the beveled edge of the pasta cutter is facing out (towards
you) when using it to cut the pasta from the machine.
13. When the machine finishes extracting all of the dough, 4 beeps will
sound and the machine will stop.
14. Unplug the machine when finished.
Note: If at any time you need to stop the machine during the process and
intend to continue (i.e. you wnat to add a little flour and then plan to
continue extruding), just press the release button on the top cover
and the machine will stop. When the top cover is secured again, the
machine will start again where it left off.
