INSTRUCTIONS
FOR USE
PREPARING THE PASTA MACHINE
Before first use, clean machine with a dry cloth to remove any
oil residue.
Use the clamp to fix the pasta machine to table/ benchtop and
insert crank handle into the opening situated on the side of the
smooth rollers (see image).
PREPARING THE PASTA DOUGH
Ingredients:
500g plain flour (for "al dente" pasta, mix 250g of plain flour
with 250g of durum wheat flour, do not add salt)
5 eggs at room temperature (eggs may be replaced with
250mls of water)
• Pour the flour into a bowl.
• Crack the eggs and let them drop into the middle of the
flour.
• Blend the eggs with the flour thoroughly using a fork.
• Once mixed, knead the mixture with your hands until it is
completely smooth and elastic.
• If the mixture is too dry, you may add a small quantity of
water; if it is too soft, add some flour.
• The perfect pasta dough will not stick to your hands.
• Remove pasta dough from the bowl and place on a lightly
floured work surface.
• Cover with tea towel and allow dough to rest for 30 minutes.
• Your pasta is now ready to cut up into small pieces.
CREATING PASTA WITH YOUR PASTA MACHINE
Pull out the thickness control dial and turn it to Position 7. This
will open the two smooth rollers approximately 3mm
(see image).
By turning the crank handle, pass a small piece of dough
through the machine (see image). Gently hold the flattened
dough as it comes out of the pasta machine; do not pull on it.
Repeat this operation about 5-6 times, folding the dough over
each time and adding flour if necessary.
Once the dough has reached an even shape, set dial to Position
6 and pass it through the rollers once.
Now let it pass through once at Position 5 and so on, until the
pasta dough has reached your desired thickness.
With a knife, cut the dough into pieces of about 25cm in length.
To add cutting blade attachment, slide it down the tracks on the
main unit. Insert the crank handle into the opening situated on
the side of the selected blade and turn handle slowly, passing
the pasta sheets through, so as to obtain the type of pasta your
prefer (see image).
