3. Setup and First Use

4. Operation

4.1 Preparing the Dough

For best results, prepare a firm, elastic pasta dough. Ensure the dough is not too sticky or too dry. Divide the dough into manageable portions before feeding it into the machine.

4.2 Rolling the Dough Sheets

1. Turn on the machine using the power switch.
2. Set the thickness adjustment knob to the widest setting (e.g., 14mm).
3. Feed a portion of dough into the dough feeder. The rollers will flatten it into a sheet.
4. Fold the dough sheet in half and feed it through the rollers again. Repeat this process several times until the dough is smooth and uniform.
5. Gradually decrease the thickness setting, feeding the dough through each setting until the desired thickness is achieved. Do not skip settings, as this can strain the motor or damage the dough.

4.3 Cutting the Pasta

1. Once the dough sheet has reached the desired thickness, feed it through the appropriate cutting rollers (e.g., 3mm for thin noodles, 9mm for wider noodles).
2. Collect the cut pasta strands. You may dust them with flour to prevent sticking.
3. Turn off the machine after use.

5. Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning and maintenance ensure the longevity and hygienic operation of your pasta machine.

1. Disconnect Power: Always unplug the machine from the power outlet before cleaning.
2. Remove Dough Residue: Use a soft brush or a wooden stick to remove any dough remnants from the rollers and cutters. Do not use metal objects that could scratch the surfaces.
3. Wipe Surfaces: Wipe the exterior of the machine with a damp cloth. For stubborn stains, a mild detergent can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth. Dry thoroughly.
4. Do Not Wash in Dishwasher: The machine is not dishwasher safe. Do not immerse the main unit in water.
5. Storage: Store the machine in a dry, clean place when not in use.
