OTHER CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION

This appliance is intended for household use only.
Electrical Shock Hazard. This appliance is provided with a
w WARNING
grounded (3-prong) plug to reduce the risk of electric shock.
The plug fits only one way into a grounded outlet. Do not
defeat the safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in
any way or by using an adapter. If the plug does not fit fully
into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an
electrician replace the outlet.
The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce the
hazards of becoming tangled in or tripping over a longer cord. If a longer
cord is necessary, an approved extension cord may be used. The electrical
rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of the
appliance. Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not
drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or
accidentally tripped over.

TIPS

When using your pasta machine, always place it on a clean, stable surface, with
•
the power switch close to you for easy access.
Use a pasta drying rack to suspend the pasta for drying. If you are going to cook
•
your pasta right away, dry it on a pastry or cutting board.
When drying the pasta, separate the strands as much as possible so they do not
•
stick together during cooking.
Once the pasta is dry, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and store in a plastic bag.
•
The pasta can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours.
When cooking homemade pasta, be sure to use plenty of water to prevent the
•
pasta strands from sticking together. You can also add a small amount of oil to
the water which prevents the strands from clinging to one another.
Fresh pasta typically cooks more quickly than packaged pasta. Your freshly
•
made spaghetti will be done after boiling for 5-8 minutes. Fresh fettuccini will
cook in 7-11 minutes, depending on desired doneness.
