To Avoid problems with your pasta maker, read all the Notes,
Cautions and Instructions in this manual. prior to calling the service

Appliance stops
while mixing or
extruding
If the appliance stops while mixing or extruding, hold the mixing
container against the back wall until the appliance does not stop
anymore. There is an interlocking switch which turns off the motor
should the container or lid not be fitted correctly. You can solve the
problem if stopping occurs in the MIX mode by stopping the
appliance, lifting the lid and removing any pasta dough stuck under
the lid. Refit and Close the lid properly and continue
Appliance won’t
start
Be sure it is plugged in, switched on, lid is securely latched and
mixing container is all the way back against the wall.
Delayed starting
Depending on the model there may be a 1-second delay feature. If
so, your appliance will start after one second of switch on.
Cleaning problems
It’s easier to clean the parts after you let the parts dry in open air for
one hour.
Slow or No
extruding pasta
Dough needs to be the correct consistency. Refer to “How to Use
Appliance” section for instruction. Set the die in very hot water for a
minute prior to making pasta. You can always correct your extruded
pasta by putting it back into the mixing container and starting over
before it dries out.
Can’t remove
locking ring
Switch to MIX for a few seconds. This will relieve pressure on the
locking ring and die. Use the wrench to help unscrew the locking
ring.
Appliance noises
Noise equals power. But loud clunks are not normal. Stop and be
sure your appliance is assembled correctly. Also refer to the
“Cleaning The Appliance” section to be sure it is clean.
Friction-steam from
the die
Some hot steam escaping from the pasta die is normal during use
and is caused by the friction heat from the pasta being extruded
through the die.. Don’t touch dies when hot during and after
extruding.
Can’t line up Pad
Lock Symbols on
faceplate
If you can’t line up the Pad Lock Symbols on your faceplate, this
indicates that the faceplate is not clean and there may be excess
flour build-up. It must be removed from the locking area, container
and faceplate. Make sure there is no flour in the white screw hole.
