Installation Instructions - Princess 1945 Instructions For Use Manual

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. First check to ensure that the pasta machine is not connected to the mains.
2. Place the stirring mechanism (6) in the mixing container (8) with the largest opening facing the front
of the mixing container.
3. Place the stirring mechanism (6) in such a manner that the openings in the shaft of the stirring
mechanism coincide with the openings in the container.
4. Insert the chrome-plated drive shafts with the groove in the topmost drive opening of the motor casing (1).
5. Press the unlocking button (7) on the motor casing downwards and push the mixing container (8)
together with the stirring mechanism over the chrome-plated drive shaft into the motor casing. It may
be necessary to turn the stirring mechanism (6) to some extent, so that everything falls properly in
place. Now unscrew the unlocking button (7) and check whether the locking has taken place properly
by carefully pulling the mixing container.
6. Push the closing slide (3) in the groove of the casing (on/off switch (2)) fully into the mixing position.
This is the position in which the closing slide is pushed as far as possible into the casing.
7. Push the dough transport coil (10) into the extrusion chamber (9) until it is in the hexagonal opening
of the motor casing (1). By carefully rotating the dough transport coil, it will come to rest in the
proper place, so that it will not project outside the threaded part of the extrusion chamber.
8. Select the desired pasta-shaping attachment (F) and place it in the extrusion chamber (9), so that the
three projections of the extrusion chamber fit into the three grooves of the pasta-shaping attachment.
9. Hold the pasta-shaping attachment (F) in place with a finger and push the sealing washer (11) over the
screw of the extrusion chamber (9) with simultaneous rotation in the clockwise direction. Only tighten
the sealing washer by hand. For this, use the ring spanner (C), otherwise there is a risk of stripping the
thread of the screw.
10. Now place the cover (5) on the mixing container (8). The installation is now complete.
PREPARATION OF PASTA
At the end of these instructions, you will find a couple of recipes so that you can start immediately with
the correct preparation in your pasta machine. You can prepare most of the known standard recipes using
the pasta machine. However, it is recommended that you start with the recipes mentioned here, so that
you become familiar with the use of the equipment and acquire a feeling for the kind of dough that you
are processing.
Remember the following: It is not really possible to 'spoil' the dough. Either more liquid is required (if it
is too dry) or more flour is required (if it is too wet).
Important: Before you start, check whether the closing slide is fully pushed into the appliance (mixing
position).
1. Select the pasta-shaping attachment (F) for the desired type of pasta.
2. Place the pasta-shaping attachment in a bowl with extremely hot water. Add a few drops of olive or
vegetable oil and ensure that the attachment is covered with water. Allow it to lie immersed for 1-2
minutes.
3. Now place the pasta-shaping attachment as described in the installation instructions in point 8 and 9.
Check whether the attachment has been correctly and firmly installed.
4. Add the required quantity of flour into the mixing container (8) according to the recipe selected.
5. Place the cover (5) of the container (8) in such a manner that you can hear it click in place.
6. Switch on the appliance over the On/Off switch (2).
7. Slowly add the liquid via the slot in the cover. Keep around 15% of the liquid aside. It is possible that
you may require the same if the dough is too dry.
8. Run the motor for around 3 minutes.
9. Switch off the motor, open the cover and check whether the dough is of the right con-
sistency. The dough may be said to be suitable if it consists of pea-sized lumps. You
should be able to make a small ball of dough with your fingers. If the dough is too
gritty, it resembles sand or maize flour. Switch on the motor again and add half of the
liquid you have put by, and run the appliance for another minute.
10.Switch off the appliance and check the dough. If you find large, sticky lumps, it means
the dough is too wet. Add a teaspoonful of flour and run the appliance for another minute.
11. As soon as the dough is suitable, pull out the closing slide slowly out of the appliance
until you hear it click. This will open the extrusion chamber and the pasta machine will
start preparing your pasta within a minute, with the motor running. During this opera-
tion, you will notice a change in the sound of the motor. That is normal.
