5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Dough Preparation
For best results, prepare a firm, non-sticky pasta dough. The machine can process various types of flour, including gluten-free, spelt, and soy. Ensure the dough is kneaded well and rested before rolling.
5.2 Thickness Adjustment
The machine offers 9 thickness settings, ranging from 0.5mm to 5mm. To adjust the dough thickness:
- Turn the thickness adjustment knob to select the desired setting. A higher number corresponds to a thinner dough sheet.
- Start with a thicker setting (e.g., 1 or 2) and gradually decrease the thickness by passing the dough through the rollers multiple times until the desired thinness is achieved.

5.3 Dough Rolling and Noodle Cutting
The machine features an integrated control knob that allows you to switch between dough rolling only and simultaneous dough rolling and noodle cutting.
- Dough Rolling: To roll dough sheets, ensure the integrated control knob is set to the position where only the roller rotates. Feed your prepared dough through the rollers, adjusting the thickness as needed.
- Noodle Cutting: Once your dough sheet has reached the desired thickness, adjust the integrated control knob to the position where both the blades and the roller rotate. Feed the dough sheet into the appropriate cutting slot (2.5mm for round noodles or 4mm for flat noodles).
- Collect the freshly cut noodles as they emerge from the machine.

6. Cleaning and Maintenance
Regular cleaning ensures the longevity and hygienic operation of your pasta machine.
- Always unplug the machine before cleaning.
- Do not wash the main motor unit with water. Wipe it with a dry or slightly damp cloth.
- The pasta rollers and cutters are made of food-grade 304 stainless steel. After use, allow any residual dough to dry slightly, then use a small brush or wooden stick to remove it. Do not use metal objects that could scratch the rollers.
- The machine is indicated as dishwasher safe. However, for optimal care and to prolong its lifespan, hand washing of the removable parts (if any, though this model is integrated) is recommended, followed by thorough drying. For the integrated rollers and cutters, a damp cloth and brush are usually sufficient.
- Store the machine in a dry place.
