Operating Procedure

The rollers are easily adjustable to any thickness of crust you may need. Release the adjusting handle by squeezing the handle.

To decrease dough thickness, move the handle to the left.

To increase dough thickness, move the handle to the right.

Operation

Dust the infeed tray with flour before using the machine. For best results, the dough to be rolled should be at room temperature. Dust the dough with flour when putting it on the infeed tray.

Follow steps 1 to 3:

Step 1: Place dough on the infeed.

Step 2: Dough exits the machine.

Step 3: Decrease dough thickness by moving the handle to the left with every pass, until the desired thickness is reached.

If the dough tears or the machine makes a thumping sound, this indicates that the dough is too thick for the current roller setting, or the dough is too cold and stiff and requires a longer rest period before use.

• IF THE DOUGH GETS STUCK, TURN THE POWER OFF, REMOVE THE SAFETY COVER, THEN REMOVE THE DOUGH.
• NEVER ATTEMPT TO REMOVE THE DOUGH BY HAND WHILE THE MACHINE IS RUNNING.
