4. Operating Instructions
This automatic pasta maker simplifies the process into a few easy steps.
4.1 Dough Preparation
- Flour Type: For best results, use all-purpose flour. Other types of flour may not yield the desired consistency.
- Flour Capacity: The machine can process up to 500g of flour.
- Water/Flour Ratio: The ideal ratio varies slightly depending on the flour and desired pasta type. A common starting point is 100g flour to 35-40ml liquid (water, egg, or vegetable juice). Adjust slightly as needed.
4.2 Making Pasta
- Ensure the machine is properly assembled and plugged into a suitable power outlet (220V/50Hz).
- Add the measured flour into the flour barrel.
- Close the transparent lid securely, ensuring the safety lock is engaged.
- Slowly pour the liquid ingredients (water, egg mixture, or vegetable juice) through the water inlet on the lid while the machine is mixing.
- Press the 'Mix' button (or equivalent on the control panel) to start the mixing process. The machine will knead the dough automatically.
- Once the dough reaches a crumbly consistency (typically after 3-5 minutes), press the 'Extrude' button (or equivalent). The machine will begin to extrude pasta through the selected mold.
- As the pasta extrudes, cut it to your desired length using a knife or pasta cutter.
- After all pasta has been extruded, turn off the machine and unplug it.

6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your pasta extruder, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Machine does not start. | Not plugged in; Lid not securely closed; Safety lock not engaged. | Check power connection; Ensure lid is fully closed and safety lock is engaged. |
| Dough is too wet/sticky. | Too much liquid added. | Add a small amount of flour and mix again until crumbly. Adjust liquid ratio for future batches. |
| Dough is too dry/crumbly, pasta not extruding. | Not enough liquid added. | Add a very small amount of liquid (e.g., 5ml) and mix again until dough forms small, moist crumbs. |
| Pasta extrudes unevenly or breaks. | Dough consistency is incorrect; Mold is partially blocked. | Adjust dough consistency; Clean the noodle mold thoroughly. |
| Machine stops during operation. | Overload protection activated; Lid opened. | Unplug, wait 10-15 minutes for motor to cool, then restart. Ensure lid remains closed during operation. |
