Frequently Asked Questions - LMA624 Doyon

Can I make gluten-free pasta with the Doyon LMA624?

Yes, you can use gluten-free flour blends. However, the texture may vary. It is recommended to follow a recipe specifically designed for gluten-free pasta.

How do I clean the pasta machine after use?

Allow the machine to cool down. Remove the extrusion dies and other detachable parts, then wash them in warm soapy water or place them in the dishwasher. Wipe the main body with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly.

Can I use fresh eggs in the dough?

Absolutely! Fresh eggs enhance the flavor and texture of pasta. Use about 1 egg per 100g of flour for best results.

What is the maximum dough capacity?

The LMA624 can handle up to 1 kg of dough per batch. Do not overload to ensure proper mixing and extrusion.

Does the machine come with a warranty?

Yes, Doyon provides a 2-year limited warranty against manufacturing defects. Check the manual for terms and conditions.

How long does it take to make pasta?

Preparation and mixing take about 5 minutes, and extrusion for a full batch takes approximately 10-15 minutes depending on the shape.

Can I use homemade pasta dies?

Only use official Doyon dies designed for the LMA624. Third-party dies may not fit properly and could damage the machine.

What should I do if the machine stops during operation?

The machine has overheat protection. If it stops, turn it off, unplug it, and allow it to cool for 15-20 minutes before restarting. Check for dough blockages as well.

Can I make filled pasta like ravioli?

The LMA624 is designed for extruded pasta. For filled pasta, you would need a separate pasta roller and cutter. However, you can extrude sheets and use them manually for ravioli.

Where can I find spare parts?

CHAPTER 3

THE USE OF THE SHEETER

3.1 - GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Doyon sheeters are designed to be used by qualified people in the pastry and bakery's business.

Open the tables and put the supports in the lowest position, [at 133/4 in., (35cm) from the floor LMF624,LMA630 fig. 3.1 and 3.2].

Fig. 3.1 Fig. 3.2 Also, lower the security bars (fig. 3.3 and 3.4) near the canvas.

Fig. 3.3 Fig. 3.4 After these two procedures, plug the machine, but first, verify if the electric power is correct.

There is one sideboard at the extremity of the trays (fig. 3.5), which must be placed out from the canvas (open position), so it can collect the dough when it eventually comes off the canvas.

Fig. 3.5

At the top of the sheeter, there is a recipient for small quantities of flour. This is to powder the dough when it's being worked. This recipient can be easily removed for cleaning (fig. 3.6).

Fig. 3.6

The scraper above the sheeter's superior cylinder (point A, fig. 3.7) which is fixed to it, can be removed to clean the machine.

The scrapers of the sheeter's inferior cylinder (point B, fig. 3.7) are fixed to the lateral parts of the sheeter, to clean the cylinder and the canvas.

Fig. 3.7

Under each working board, there is a flour collector (fig. 3.8), which can be easily removed by loosening the lateral screws from the tables (fig. 3.9) and pulling them.

Fig. 3.8 Fig. 3.9

The sheeter LSB516 and LMF624 has two rolling pins, which you can work with.

3.2 - MACHINE'S CHARACTERISTICS

The LSB516 may work with a maximum of 11 Lbs. (5 kg) of dough. The LMF624 may work with a maximum of 22 Lbs. (10 kg) of dough. Roller openings from 0 to 1 1/2 " (0 to 38 mm) LSB516 & LMF624.

The LSA616 may work with a maximum of 15 Lbs. (7 kg) of dough. The LMA630 may work with a maximum of 30 Lbs. (14 kg) of dough. Roller openings from 3/32 to 1 7/8" (2.5 to 50 mm) LSA616 & LMA630.

These quantities may change due to the quality of the dough. It is excellent for puff pastries and soft dough.

3.3 - IMPROPER USE OF THE MACHINE

Doyon sheeter was designed to be used by qualified people in the pastry and bakery's business. Other uses will be considered improper.

The manufacturer is not responsible for any machine damages or personal injuries due to improper use of the machine.
