   • Make sure the fixing levers 1 on the main unit are fitted with the openings on the bottom of the mixing chamber.
2. Put the mixing paddle in the mixing chamber as shown in the illustration.
3. Insert the squeezing tube into the mixing chamber. Note:
   • Make sure the big opening on the squeezing tube faces up when you insert the tube into the chamber.
4. Insert the squeezing bar into the mixing chamber. Make sure the squeezing bar slides all the way through both the squeezing tube and the mixing paddle and into the shaft in the main unit. Note:
   • Slightly turn the mixing paddle to make sure the squeezing bar is connected correctly with the shaft in the main unit.
5. Attach the shaping distoon to the mixing chamber outlet. Note:

   • If the mixing chamber lid is not properly installed, the safety switch will prevent the appliance from working.

Using the pasta maker

Important

• Place the product on a flat surface and prevent the table from shaking or vibration.
• Make sure all the parts are well assembled before plugging in.
• Do not put less than 200 g/7 oz (1 flour cup) or more than 400 g/14 oz (2 flour cups) of flour in the chamber.
• Pour in the liquid slowly through the water slot after the appliance starts kneading.
• If you want to dispose of the weighed flour before processing with the next batch, empty the chamber and restart the appliance by unplugging and plugging it in again.
• Do not put any ingredients that are 60°C/140°F or above into the pasta maker, or place the pasta maker in surroundings at high temperature (60°C / 140°F), for instanc, in a high-temperature sterilization environment. This will deform the appliance.
• Do not pour liquid into the mixing chamber before the Pasta maker starts running.
• Make sure the shaping disc and shaping disc holder are assembled properly before plugging in the appliance.

Preparing and measuring the flour

1. Scoop one full cup of flour using the flour cup. Scrape off any excessive flour from the cup edge with the supplied flat cleaning tool. 1 full cup of flour weighs around 200 g/7 oz, and 2 full cups of flour weigh around 400 g/14 oz. Note:
   • Do not shake or hit the flour cup to remove excessive flour. This will affect the flour weight.
   • Use a kitchen scale to measure the weight more accurately.
   • 200 g/7 oz of flour makes about 200 g/7 oz of fresh pasta/noodles. 400 g/14 oz of flour makes about 450 g/16 oz of fresh pasta/noodles.
2. Pull the lid to unlock it and then remove the lid from the mixing chamber.
3. Pour the flour into the chamber. If you want to make 2-3 servings, add a second cup of flour,, as you will need 2 cups (~400 g/14 oz) of flour in total.
   Note:
   • Do not pour liquid into the mixing chamber at this point. Only pour liquid after the Pasta maker starts running.
   • Do not put less than 200 g/7 oz or more than 400 g/14 oz of flour in the chamber. If you put too little or too much flour in the chamber, the appliance may not operate.
   • Do not pour the flour into the opening of the squeezing tu;e, otherwise,, the flour in the squeezing tube will not be mixed evenly.

Preparing and measuring the liquid

1. Measure the liquid volume at eye level on a flat surface.
   Note:
   • Do not pour liquid into the mixing chamber before the Pasta maker starts running.

There are 2 sets of water markings on the supplied water cup.

• When using all-purpose flour and egg mixture to make plain egg pasta, refer to side A with two liquid levels.
  • Level 1 (80ml): required egg mixture amount for 1 cup of flour.
  • Level 2 (160ml): required egg mixture amount for 2 cups of flour.
• To makthe e the egg mixture for plain egg pasta, crack 1 egg into the water cup. Add water up to the required amount as shown on side A, and then whisk the water and egg to combine.
• When using the following combinations of flour and liquid to make pasta, refer to side B forspthe ecific volume.
  • All-purpose flour mixed with pure water/vegetable juice mixture.
  • Various other flours (as shown in the following tables) are mixed with egg mixture/pure water/vegetable juice mixture.

Check the following tables for the detailed water and flour ratios.

Note: These tables show the flour-liquid ratiobasedde on 200 g/7 oz of flour. When using 400 g/14 oz of flour to make pasta, double the liquid volume (including egg) to get the right flour-liquid ratio.

• When using egg mixture to make pasta, crack 1 egg into the water cup. Add water up to the required amount as shown below, and then whisk the water and egg to combine.
• When using pure water to make pasta, add water to the required amount as shown below.
• When using vegetable juice (including 1 egg) to make pasta, crack 1 egg into the water cup. Add vegetable juice up to the required amount as shown below, and then whisk the juice and egg to combine. * Use a kitchen scale to measure the weight more accurately.

Important

• The pasta recipes provided in the recipe book have been tested for success. If you experiment with or use other pasta recipes, the flour and water/egg ratios will need to be adjusted to the flour and water cup ratios included with the Pasta maker. The Pasta maker will not operate successfully without adjusting the new recipe accordingly.

Note:

• For best results, use all-purpose flour with the recommended liquid proportions indicated on the cup.
• Seasonal changes, using ingredients from different regi,,ons may affect the flour/water ratio.
• “Gluten” is a bithatwhich ensures the pasta does not break easily. Gluten-free flour does not contain a bi;der, therefore,, it needs a thickener to act as a “bind,er” eg, Xanthan gum or Guar. Various kinds of gluten-free flour perform differently when making pasta. Some flours are not suitable for making varieties of pasta, such as coconut flour and white rice flour; some flour varieties work well, such as quinoa and buckwheat.
  • See the recipe book provided for more delicious pasta and noodle ideas.

Starting thepasta-makingg program

Important

• Do not select the extra extrusion program before the dough mixing is complete. Otherwise, this will damage the Pasta maker and its lifetime.
• Do not disconnect the power cord before the processing is complete. If you have to stop the pasta-making process, turn the control knob to “OFF” to stop the working process and then disconnect the power cord from the outlet before performing other operations.
• Do not exceed the maximum operation cycle of 2 cycles continuously at all applications. To better protect the lifetime of the appliance, you can restart using the appliance after 30 minutes upon 2 continuous operation cycles.
• If you intend to use the appliance continuously, clean each shaping disc with the supplied cleaning tool each time after the pasta-making session. For easy cleaning, do not soak the shaping disc directly in water.

1. Plug the appliance into the power outlet. The Pasta maker will sound once. Note:
   • Make sure all the parts are well assembled before plugging in.
2. Attach the lid to the mixing chamber. Note:
   • The appliance will not start working if the chamber lid is not properly closed. During the pasta-making process, if the chamber lid becomes loose, the appliance will automatically stop working.
3. Turn the control knob to select the automatic pasta-making process, and then press the Start/Pause button. Note:
   • The whole working process (including kneading and extruding) takes around 12 minutes for 200 g/7 oz of flour and 18 minutes for 400 g/14 oz of flour.
4. After the kneading starts, slowly pour in the liquid along the entire length of the slot in the lid. Note:
   • During dough mixing, do not add other ingredients after you have poured in the liquid. Otherwise, it will affect the results of the pasta texture.
5. After the Pasta maker finishes kneading, it will beep a few times,, and the pasta extrusion will start after a few seconds. Place a container right under the outlet. Cut the pasta into the desired length with the cleaning tool. Note:
   • If the ratio of liquid and flour is not correct, the extrusion will not succeed. In this case, prepare the ingredients again.
   • Move the cleaning tool downwards to cut the pasta.
6. When the extrusion process is complete, the appliance will beep a few times.
   Note:
   • Do not turn the control knob to the “OFF” position before the whole process is over (you will hear the “beep” sound).
7. After the pasta making is complete, if you notice some leftover dough inside the chamber, you can turn the control knob to the OFF position first, and then turn the control knob to the extra-extrusion position. Press the Start/Pause button to start the extra-extrusion program. Note:
   • You may find some fine pasta threads on the pasta surface. This is normal.
   • The cooking time of the pasta varies depending on personal preferences, pasta shapes, anthe d the number of servings.
