Use and Care Guide

ENGLISH INSTRUCTIONS

• DOUGH CONSISTENCY You know when you’re nished kneading the dough

when the ball of dough has a soft texture. It should feel moist, but not stick to your

ngers.

• LET IT REST when you have your dough ball, set it aside to rest for 15-30

minutes. While resting, wrap it in cellophane wrap or cover it with a damp towel

(or paper towel) to keep it from drying out. Resting gives the our time to fully

absorb the water.

• WATER If the recipe that you are using calls for water, add it last in portions.

Depending on egg size and accuracy of our measurement, you may not need

the entire amount of water in the recipe.

• FLOUR & WATER RATIO Don’t be afraid to use our. If after resting, the

dough feels too damp add a little our and knead it a little more (don’t worry, if

you add too much you can add more water or olive oil to balance it).

• FLOUR IS YOUR BEST TOOL Before rolling out the dough or cutting the

sheets, sprinkle the rollers with our to keep the dough from sticking. This will

also help the dough separate when you cut the pasta.

• Before cutting the dough and between changing the roller settings, dredge the

dough sheet in some our. This will also help to cut the dough better.

PASTA TIPS

The Pasta Machine and the Cutter Attachment may have some excess oil on it

from the factory. This is to protect the machine during shipping. THIS OIL MUST

BE REMOVED BEFORE USING THE MACHINE!

• Using a clean dry cloth, wipe all the surfaces clean. DO NOT USE WATER!

Never wash the Pasta Machine or the Cutter Attachment with water, place it in

water, or put it into the dishwasher. Simply wipe it clean with a dry cloth.

• To clean the inner surfaces of the Pasta Machine and the Cutter Attachment

pass a piece of dough through the Rollers and Cutters several times, making sure

the dough touches all the surfaces, especially the sides where machine oil can

accumulate. Discard this dough when nished.

• Use a dry pastry brush to remove any our or bits of dough from the hard to

reach places.

• Lightly sprinkle some our on the Rollers and Cutters. Using a dry brush, work

the our into the edges of the Pasta Machine and into the Cutter Attachment.

Brush all the our away and wipe the machine clean again with a clean, dry cloth.

• NEVER INSERT KNIVES BETWEEN THE ROLLERS OR THE CUTTERS!
