How to Use

1. Prepare dough recipe and cut into fist-size pieces. See
"Before first use" on page 4.
NOTE: Avoid using salt in your dough, as this will
damage the machine.
2. Place Pasta Machine on a flat, dry, stable surface.
3. Ensure power switch is set to OFF ( ) and Safety
Cover is closed.
4. Plug into outlet.
5. Set Adjustment Knob to 1. To do this, pull
Adjustment Knob out and rotate it until "1" lines up
with Setting Indicator. Release Adjustment Knob
so it rests against the housing; setting 1 is widest
setting.
6. Move Sliding Safety Guards over the two Cutting
Rollers.
7. Turn Power Switch to Slow (II).
8. Holding one of the dough pieces, pinch one end
slightly flat to help ease it into Smooth Rollers.
9. Gently push dough between Smooth Rollers,
keeping fingers clear of Smooth Rollers, until it
begins to feed through. Smooth Rollers will pull
dough through the machine. Dough will emerge
from back side of Pasta Machine. Place your hand
under dough as it emerges from Smooth Rollers to
guide it through the unit.
10. Repeat this process with same dough 2–3 times.
NOTE: Smooth Rollers complete the kneading
process. As you continue to pass dough through
Smooth Rollers, it will become smooth, shiny and
elastic. If it sticks to Smooth Rollers, dust dough with
flour and repeat step 9.

w CAUTION Entanglement Hazard. Tie back loose hair and secure
loose clothing.
11. If dough seems to be too dry, put it back into a
bowl or on a pastry board, and add several drops
of water. Knead dough a few times by hand to
distribute moisture evenly.
12. Once you have passed dough through Smooth
Rollers 2–3 times at widest setting "1", turn off
Pasta Machine. Adjust Knob to setting "2" and
pass dough through Smooth Rollers again.
Continue adjusting to higher settings and pass
dough through Smooth Rollers until the sheet is
desired thickness.
NOTE: Settings may vary according to kind of
dough, stiffness of dough, and temperature and
humidity in room.
13. When dough is rolled out to the desired thickness,
turn Pasta Machine OFF ( ).
14. Determine which type of pasta you are making,
spaghetti or fettuccine. Place one Sliding Safety
Guard over Smooth Rollers and other over Cutter
that will not be in use.
15. Turn Power Switch to Slow (II). Feed dough
between Cutter until it begins to feed through.
Cutter will pull dough through the machine. Dough
will emerge from back side of Pasta Machine.
Place your hand under dough as it emerges from
Cutter to guide it through the unit.
16. Hang pasta on a drying rack or lay it flat on a
pastry board. Pasta will dry faster if it is spread
out.
17. Follow recipe for cooking once pasta has dried.
