3 After the pasta maker finishes mixing, it will beep once and start extruding pasta after a few seconds. Use the pasta cutter to cut the pasta into the length you need.(Fig. 26)

Note: If the ratio of liquid and flour is not correct, the extrusion will not succeed. Please refer to the recipe book for more recipes.

8 ENGLISH

Important!

The pasta recipes provided in the recipe book have been tested for success. If you experiment with or use other pasta recipes, the flour and water/egg ratios will need to be adjusted. The pasta maker will not operate successfully if you do not adjust the new recipe accordingly.

Note

• For good results, it is essential that the dough looks crumbly in the kneading chamber. If the dough looks crumbly, the recipe will work. The recipe will not work if the dough is too wet (looks like well-known dough consistency) or too dry (when the dough looks like flour only).
• Seasonal changes and using ingredients from different regions may affect the flour/water ratio. You may adjust based on the recommended proportion.
• When making gluten free pasta or cookies, do not follow the recommended liquid amount indicated by the appliance.
• When using legume flour or gluten free flour less water is needed than the recommendation. You may use about 10-20ml less for these recipes, but as mentioned above, there are changes depending on the type of flour.
• "Gluten" is a binder which ensures the pasta does not break easily, Gluten free flour does not contain a binder, therefore it needs a thickener to act as a "binder" eg. eggs or Xanthan. Various kinds of gluten free flour perform differently when making pasta. Some flours are not suitable for making pasta such as coconut flour, some flour types work well, such as quinoa and buckwheat.
• When making egg pasta or vegetable pasta, make sure you whisk the egg mixture or vegetable juice evenly with the water before pouring into the chamber through the slot in the lid. When adding ingredients, make sure the ingredient is in a liquid form.
  • See the recipe book provided for additional pasta recipe variations.

Cleaning

1 Disconnect the plug from the power outlet. (Fig. 28)
2 Remove the mixing chamber lid. (Fig. 3)
3 Loosen the front panel control knobs. (Fig. 4)

Note: The front panel is heavy. Take extra caution when removing it.

4 Disassemble the front panel, the shaping disc, the shaping disc holder, the mixing paddle, and the mixing chamber in order. (Fig. 5)

5 Use a dry cloth to clean flour residue on the main unit. (Fig. 29)

6 Clean the shaping disc with the supplied cleaning tool to remove the dough residues. After that, you can clean it with water. (Fig. 30)

Note: For the spaghetti, thick spaghetti, angel hair and fettuccine shaping discs, let the discs air-dry 2 to 4 hours. Then use the corresponding cleaning tool to poke out the dough in the holes.
