Installation Unscrew the plate support ring nut. Insert the plate required into the ring nut and screw the ring nut with plate into the machine again. If you wish to produce short pasta, choose the suitable dough-cutting blade from the three supplied. Insert the spring supplied into the blade and fit it onto the pin on the dough-cutter motor.
Installation Electrical connection Caution! Before starting the machine, make sure the voltage specified on the ID plate corresponds to the mains voltage. Supply phase check (380 V Three-phase) Make sure that the master switch 1 and the “KNEAD/EXTRUDE” selector switch 2 are at ”0”. Start-up the machine by turning the knob of the master switch 1 to the right (position 1) and turning the knob below to “KNEAD”...

Installation STOP Caution! If the mixer shaft is turning in the opposite direction, press “STOP” button immediately thereby stopping the machine. Remove the power supply plug from Blue the socket and swap the position of the brown and black wires as shown in Brown the figure.
Functioning Work cycle Before the cycle Check the selector switches on the control panel are all at “0”. Make sure to have respected all precautions described in the Safety section. Work cycle Open the cover and fill the mixing tank with the basic ingredients (flour and/or hard-grain durum flour), water and/or eggs.
Page 39
Functioning Warning! Under no circumstances let the machine run with the selector switch 6 turned to the “EXTRUDE” position before kneading the flour. This could cause serious mechanical damage. The friable dough broken up into granules will be ready to be extruded after around 15 minutes.
Page 40
Functioning If the machine stops during the working cycle: The thermal protection inside the machine could have tripped as the result of the motor overheating or excessive voltage fluctuation. After a few minutes, the thermal protection will be reset automatically and the machine will be ready to continue the working cycle.
Functioning Changing the plate To change the pasta type it is necessary to change the plate in the following way: Press the button 3 “STOP”. Bring the “COOLING BLOWER” 7 and “DOUGH-CUTTER” 8 back to zero “0”. Unscrew the knob and remove the dough-cutter motor.
Page 42
Functioning Unscrew and remove the ring nut. Remove the plate and replace it with another. Warning! After use, the plates must always be immersed in a container full of water to prevent the dough from drying.

In such cases always indicate the identification data (model, serial number, identification of electrical, pneumatic systems etc.).
Page 46
Maintenance Caution! The main switch is to be set on “0” and fastened with a padlock to prevent accidental re-powering. The key of the padlock is to be kept by the maintenance engineer.. Upon termination, and before putting back into service, the maintenance engineer is to check the complete work cycle, the functioning of the safety devices and that the protections are intact.
Maintenance Cleaning Before starting inspection or maintenance operations, remove all dirt and grime from the machine by suction and with appropriate solvents. Do not use jets of compressed air that could accumulate the dirt and cause injury to persons in the cleaning area. Clean persistent grime with soft dry cloths that do not fray or with a soft silk bristle brush.
Maintenance Maintenance on electrical systems Before working on electrical components, cut out the power supply upstream of the equipment (power supply line main switch). Always carefully check insulating coverings, terminal boards and seal of enclosures. These are always to conform with the protection class declared by the manufacturer.
Maintenance Advice regarding maintenance Operations to be carried out during maintenance work When carrying out maintenance operations pay attention to all the signs that could preceded a failure: traces of wear; loose fittings or connections; oxidised contacts; Cutting down dead time after a failure It is to be borne in mind that maintenance operations carried out correctly can cut down the dead time to a minimum after a failure.
Maintenance Cleaning and maintenance Caution! Before starting any type of maintenance work, cut out and lock all energy sources and block the machine safeties. Place a warning signboard near the main switch. "MACHINE BEING SERVICED DO NOT POWER ON". Before putting back into service, recheck the entire system according to the start-up procedures.
