Operating Instructions

The BEPER P102SBA500 simplifies fresh pasta making with its automatic kneading and extrusion functions.

Pasta Preparation Steps:

1. Prepare Ingredients: Measure 320 grams of flour and the appropriate amount of liquid (water or eggs) using the provided measuring cup. Refer to the online recipe book for precise ratios for different pasta types.
2. Add Flour: Open the lid of the mixing chamber and add the measured flour.
3. Start Kneading: Close the lid. Plug in the appliance. Press the 'ON/OFF' button, then select the 'Knead' function on the control panel. The machine will begin mixing the flour.
4. Add Liquid: Slowly pour the liquid ingredients through the small opening in the lid while the machine is kneading. The mixing process typically takes 3 minutes.
5. Start Extrusion: Once the dough is properly kneaded (it should form a crumbly texture), select the 'Extrude' function. The machine will automatically begin pushing the dough through the selected die. This vertical extrusion process takes approximately 7 minutes.
6. Cut Pasta: As the pasta extrudes, use a knife or the provided spatula to cut it to your desired length.
7. Completion: Once all pasta has been extruded, turn off the appliance and unplug it.
