How to use

Secure the pasta machine to a stable surface using the clamp supplied or a sturdy clamp suited to the worktop. Prepare pasta dough according to your recipe and divide it into portions. Flatten a portion by hand or with a rolling pin and feed it through the widest setting, turning the hand crank evenly. Fold or pass the sheet several times while gradually reducing the thickness setting until the desired thinness is achieved. Attach the appropriate cutting attachment or use the integrated cutter to produce fettuccine or taglierini, and cut lasagne sheets to the required length.

Recommendations

Clean the machine with a dry brush or cloth after use; avoid immersing the unit in water or using detergents, as this may affect the aluminium finish and moving parts. Dust off flour and dried dough residues between rollers, and store the machine in a dry place. For best results, work with dough of the recommended consistency—slightly tacky but not wet—and allow sheets to rest briefly before cutting to reduce spring-back.
