4. Assemble Mixing Chamber: Ensure the mixing chamber and extrusion head are correctly assembled and secured.

6. Operating Instructions

Follow these steps to make fresh pasta with your DRTONK Electric Pasta Maker.

6.1. Preparing Ingredients

• Flour: Use all-purpose flour or specialty pasta flour.
• Liquid: Typically water, but eggs or vegetable juice can also be used. Refer to the recipe chart (often found on the machine or in an accompanying recipe book) for precise flour-to-liquid ratios.
• Measurements: The control panel includes indicators for 1, 2, or 3 cups of flour, helping with liquid measurement.

6.2. Pasta Making Process

1. Add Flour: Open the lid of the mixing chamber and add the measured flour. Close the lid securely. The machine will not operate if the lid is not properly closed.
2. Select Program: Press the "Kneading" button to start the mixing process.
3. Add Liquid: Slowly pour the measured liquid through the water filling spout on the lid while the machine is kneading. The humanized spout ensures even injection of liquid.
4. Kneading: The machine will knead the dough automatically. This process typically takes several minutes.
5. Extruding: Once kneading is complete, the machine will automatically switch to the "Extruding" phase, or you can press the "Extruding" button. Fresh pasta will begin to emerge vertically from the chosen mold. This process is efficient, with noodles dispensing in approximately 3 minutes.
6. Cut Pasta: As the pasta extrudes to your desired length, use the included cleaning scraper or a knife to cut the noodles.
7. Repeat: If making multiple batches, ensure the machine is clean between uses, especially the extrusion head and mold.

The entire production process, from adding ingredients to finished pasta, typically takes between 10 to 18 minutes.

2. Disassemble: Carefully disassemble all removable parts: the mixing chamber, extrusion head, and pasta mold.
3. Clean Removable Parts: These parts are dishwasher safe. Alternatively, wash them by hand with warm water and mild dish soap. Use the included cleaning scraper to remove any dough residue from the molds and extrusion blade. Ensure all dough is removed from the small holes of the molds.
4. Clean Main Unit: Wipe the main motor unit with a soft, damp cloth. Do not immerse the main unit in water or rinse it under running water.
