Frequently Asked Questions - HR2660 PHILIPS

What types of pasta can I make with the Philips HR2660?

The machine comes with 6 shaping discs: spaghetti, fettuccine, penne, lasagne, spaghettoni and angel hair. You can make classic fresh pasta or gluten-free pasta.

How do I clean the machine after use?

Unplug the appliance, disassemble the removable parts (compartment, spatula, disc, support, front cover) and wash them with water. Use the provided brush for the discs. Wipe the main block with a dry cloth. Let dry before storing.

What should I do if the pasta does not come out or the display shows E1?

Error E1 indicates the shaping disc or lid is not properly fixed. Check the assembly: the disc support must be correctly clicked in, the front cover locked, and the lid closed. If the problem persists, consult the manual.

Can I use gluten-free flour?

Yes, but the liquid/flour proportions differ. Use 10-20 ml less liquid. Add a binder like xanthan gum or an egg. The recipe table in the manual provides precise measurements for several flours (lentil, pea, buckwheat, etc.).

What is the maximum flour capacity per batch?

The machine can process up to 500 g of flour per cycle. Use the provided measuring cup (1 cup ≈ 250 g). For best results, do not exceed this amount.

Why does the machine stop during operation?

This may be due to overheating (continuous operation >45 min), an open lid, or excess ingredients. Wait 15 minutes for cooling, check the quantities, and close the lid correctly.

How do I get uniformly long pasta?

Use the provided pasta cutter to cut the pasta as it exits the disc. You can cut to the desired length during extrusion. The result also depends on the dough consistency.

Can I add eggs or vegetables to the dough?

Yes. Mix the eggs or vegetable juice with water before pouring into the machine. Adjust the liquid amount to maintain a crumbly texture. Refer to the recipe table for recommended amounts.

How do I store the shaping discs?

The discs are stored in the designated drawer under the appliance. Place thick discs in slots marked with icons and thin discs in others. Clean and dry the discs before storing.

What should I do if water leaks from the appliance?

Check that you pour the liquid after starting the program (during mixing) and not before. Excess liquid can also cause leaks. Follow the proportions in the recipe table.

Using the Pasta maker

Preparing the ingredients and starting the pasta making program

Note: Use the supplied flour/water cup to measure flour and liquid.

Flour Water Water + Egg
1 cup of flour (~250 g)
2 cups of flour (~500 g)

1 Use a kitchen scale for the correct amount of flour and liquid. (Fig. 15)

Note: Refer to chapter "Recipe" for the correct ratios.

2 Remove the mixing chamber lid. (Fig. 3)
3 Pour the flour into the chamber. (Fig. 16)

Note: Refer to chapter "Recipe" for the correct ratios.

4 Close the mixing chamber lid. (Fig. 17)

Note: If the mixing chamber lid is not properly installed, the safety switch will prevent the appliance from working.

5 Measure the required amount of liquid according to the flour you have used. (Fig. 18)

Note: Refer to chapter "Recipe" for the correct ratios.

6 Put the plug in the power socket. The appliance sounds once, and all indicators flash once. (Fig. 19)
7 Press the On/off button to switch on the appliance. (Fig. 20)
8 Press the Start/pause button to start the automatic pasta making program. (Fig. 21)

8 ENGLISH

Note: If the appliance is not in the automatic mode, press the Automatic button before pressing the Start/pause button.

9 After the mixing starts, slowly pour in the liquid along the entire length of the slot in the lid. (Fig. 22)

Note: During dough mixing, do not add other ingredients after you have poured in the liquid. Otherwise, it will affect the result of the pasta texture.

10 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. 23)

Note: If the ratio of liquid and flour is not correct, the extrusion will not succeed. In this case, prepare the ingredients again.

11 After the pasta making is complete, if you notice some leftover dough inside the chamber, you can press the Extrusion only button, and then the Start/pause button to start extra extrusion. (Fig. 24)

Note

• The extra extrusion lasts for 3 minutes.

- The cooking time of the pasta varies depending on personal preferences, pasta shapes, and number of servings.

- During the pasta making process and when the process is finished, the appliance will make a sound feedback.

Important!

The pasta recipes provided in the chapter "Recipe" 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 legume pasta, less liquid is needed than the recommendation. You may use about 10-20 ml less liquid for these recipes. Adjust the amount of liquid 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.
