TROUBLESHOOTING

1. During the pasta-making process, the appliance stops working.
Possible Causes:
• The pasta/bread dough maker has overheated due to long and
continuous working time. Disconnect from the power source,
and allow the pasta/bread dough maker to cool down. To better
protect the lifetime of the appliance, the continuous working time
should be less than 40 minutes. You can use the appliance again
after 30 minutes of rest.
• The ratio of flour and water is incorrect — the dough may be
too dry.
2. The mixing paddle is running idle, and there is no pasta
coming out.
Possible Cause:
• The ratio of the flour and water is incorrect. Disconnect the plug
from the power source and discard dough. Clean the appliance,
measure ingredients correctly (use a kitchen scale to measure
the flour weight more accurately — see pasta chart on page 15
for reference), and follow the user manual again to restart the
pasta making.
3. The pasta breaks easily.
Possible Cause:
• The ratio of the flour and water is incorrect.
4. The pasta sticks together.
Possible Cause:
• The ratio of the flour and water is incorrect or too much water
has been poured in the mixing bowl.
5. Too much leftover dough inside the bowl.
Possible Causes:
• The flour has been either exposed to moisture before use,
or the dough is too wet. Keep your flour dry during storage.
Follow the user manual instructions to restart the pasta making.
• The chamber, the mixing paddle and/or the pasta disc
have not been cleaned properly before use. Make sure all
parts are clean before use.
• The mixing paddle or the chamber is still wet. Make sure
all parts are completely dry before use.
• Liquid has not been added in the right order.
• The flour type is not suitable.
6. The bowl lid is pushed open from the inside.
Possible Cause:
• There's too much flour in the mixing bowl.
NOTE: To avoid many problems, be sure to follow the instructions in
this manual for making pasta and bread dough.
