Frequently Asked Questions - PM1800 DCG

How to assemble the pasta maker housing?
Insert the kneading paddle into the mixing chamber, slide chamber onto base unit, insert auger with sleeve, place pasta disc on auger tip, attach extrusion collector ring, then screw cap, and finally snap lid in place.
What to do if pasta dough is too dry?
Press Start/Pause, add 1/2 tbsp of liquid, press and hold Backward to mix, then press Start/Pause to resume. The dough should look like moist, crumbly coarse sand.
How to use the slow juicer mode?
Remove storage tray, insert juice collector cup, place pulp collector in front, press Forward for 6 minutes. Use the perforated screen and round tip for juicing. Cut vegetables into strips to prevent blockage.
How to clean the pasta discs?
Use the supplied spatula/cleaning tool to remove dough residue from holes. Let dough dry first for easier removal. Then wash discs with water; they are dishwasher safe.
How to unjam the appliance during juicing?
Press Start/Pause, then hold Backward to reverse and clear blockage. Release and press Start/Pause to resume forward operation.
What should I do if the appliance doesn't start?
Check that the power cord is plugged into a 3-prong 120V outlet. Ensure all attachments are properly locked in place, especially the lid and housing. Press the Power button to turn on.
How to use the batch button for pasta?
Press Batch button once for 1/2 lb (1 1/2 cups flour) or twice for 1 lb (3 cups flour). The machine mixes, pauses, extrudes, and repeats automatically. Cut pasta to length with spatula during extrusion.
Can I make frozen treats with this appliance?
Yes, use the solid filter and star tip. Assemble the slow juicer housing with frozen treat blocker and star extrusion cap. Freeze fruit 10 minutes before use, then press Forward.
How to store the appliance?
Unplug, clean and dry all parts, then place in a clean, dry place. Ensure components are free of moisture to prevent damage.
What does error code E1 mean?

GENERAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Before First Use

When making pasta dough in this appliance, the first part of the dough that is extruded from the appliance might be a little dry. As the dough continues to be mixed, it will become more pliable. You can cut off and discard the first inch of the dough if desired

When making pasta dough in this appliance, you can experiment with adding different flavors to your dough. Consult the recipe guide for examples of some of the many different kinds of pasta doughs you can make in this appliance.

  1. Read all material, warning stickers, and labels
  2. Disassemble all components, including the Mixing Chamber, Screw Cap, Storage Bin, and other detachable components and wash with warm, soapy water. Then, rinse and wipe dry
  3. Never wash or submerge the appliance base in water. Wipe the inside and outside of the appliance base with a clean, moist cloth. Rinse with a warm, moist cloth

GENERAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Using the Pasta Maker

  1. Plug the appliance into a three-pronged wall outlet. The appliance will beep once and the LED display will show four dashes.
  2. Press the Power Button to turn the appliance on. The LED Display will read "ON."
  3. Use a spoon to fill flour into the Dry Measuring Cup until slightly overfull. Do not pack the flour into the cup: lightly scoop it in until the
    cup is full and a small peak has formed in the center Level it off. Use the Spatula/Cleaning Tool or the back of a knife to level off the top by running it against the rim of the cup. You are now ready to use the flour in your recipe. If it calls for additional cups, measure them the same way.
  4. Beat the eggs and add the egg to the measuring cup if your recipe calls for eggs. Then, add oil and water to the same measuring cup with the ggs until you reach required measurement.
    Stir to mix all the wet ingredients
  5. Add your flour and salt to the Mixing Chamber
  6. Place the lid on the Mixing Chamber. Press the Batch Button according to your recipe size. The paddle will begin mixing the flour.
  7. Add all the liquid in slowly through the opening
    on top of the lid. The paddles will knead the mixture for serval minutes. The mixture will have a consistency of coarse sand. See the Flour Mixing"section for more information on consistencies.
    NOTE: Only pour your liquid into the Mixing Chamber once the appliance is mixing the flour.
  8. The appliance will pause to let the dough rest and then begin turning in the opposite direction to begin extruding the dough. While the pasta is extruding, cut it to size using the Spatula/Cleaning Tool with a downward motion. Cut to your desired length. For most pasta, cut at about 10 inches for each portion(see Fig. a).

Using the Dry and Liquid Measuring Cups

Use the markings on the Dry and Liquid Measuring Cups to measure the appropriate amount of ingredients for one or two batches of pasta.

For the Dry Measuring Cup:

•One batch: One full scoop of flour in the Dry Measuring Cup
- Two batches: Two full scoops of flour in the Dry Measuring Cup

For the Liquid Measuring Cup

•One batch: Add 1 egg, 1 tsp. oil, and enough water to fill the Liquid Measuring Cup to the single batch(70 m) line
- Two batches: Add 2 eggs, 2 tsp. oil, and enough water to fill the Liquid Measuring Cup to the double batch (150 ml) line.
NOTE: Refer to the recipe guide for pasta dough recipes that include specific instructions and Ingredient amounts

PASTA MAKING TIPS

  • When making a mixture with eggs, first whisk the egg and add the egg into the liquid cup, then add oil, and finally add water and fill to the desired measurement.
  • Beet juice, carrot juice, and spinach juice can be used as substitutions for water to flavor and color your pasta dough
  • Add the liquid slowly in a steady stream through the slot on the lid top
    •The humidity level in your home may affect your recipes. Use a bit less liquid when your kitchen is humid and a bit more liquid when there is less humidity(like winter
  • Before placing a Pasta Disc in the appliance, spray or brush the disc with oil to aid in the extrusion process.
  • If you see large clumps of dough stuck on the paddle, pause the appliance and scrape the paddles. Then, close the lid and resume the mixing process
  • If the timer runs out before all dough is extruded, press the Forward Button to resume extrusion.

NOTE: It may take a small amount of time for the dough to extrude evenly and consistently from the appliance. A small amount of steam may emit from the front of the appliance while extrusion is occurring.

Cooking Pasta

  • Make sure water is boiling. Add a pinch of salt and a teaspoon of oil. Add the pasta. Most pasta cooks in 2-3 minutes(1-2 minutes for thin pasta). Once the water foams, the pasta is done.
  • Strain pasta immediately after it is done cooking
  • Lightly toss the pasta with oil to prevent sticking.
    •TOSS With your favorite sauce and serve.
  • If saving the cooked pasta for later use, lightly oil and cool the pasta before storing in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days.

Freezing Pasta

After extruding, carefully toss the pasta in a light flour/cornmeal mix. Portion into containers or sealable plastic bags. When cooking frozen pasta, you may need to add 1-2 minutes to the cooking time

Reheating Pasta

Add the pasta to boiling water for 30 seconds

Cleaning

  1. Ensure all parts are free of debris
  2. Use the Cleaning Brush to clean the Pasta Discs

SLOW JUICER MODE

  1. Remove the Storage Tray and insert the Juice Collector Cup to collect juice. Place the Pulp Collector Cup in front of the housing.
  2. Press the Forward Button to extrude clockwise for 6 minutes

NOTE: Pulp may clog the auger or filter after heavy use or after juicing pulpy fruit/vegetables.

To unjam the appliance, see the "Using the Control Panel" section

  1. Press the Start/Pause Button at any time to pause the juicing process

REMINDER: Use the perforated screen and round tip for juicing

TIP: Cut vegetables into smaller chunks or strips to allow for an easier feed into the slow juicer and to reduce the risk of blockage
