Parts Description
Product Usage Instructions
Preparing the Dough
It is recommended to chill the pasta dough for approx. 30mins in the
refrigerator, this will make it easier to work with. Use `00′ Grade, durum
wheat, and semolina flour for making pasta. Experiment with different types of
pasta and pasta dough recipes to get the desired results.
- For a simple dough recipe you will need the following
- 4 whole eggs
- 1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 3.4/4 Cups of all purpose flour*
- Pinch of Salt
- Add the Olive Oil, Salt and Eggs into a bowl to mix, Add half of the flour and beat in or pulse with a mixer until the eggs absorb it and you have a semi-thick paste.
- Add the rest of the flour and continue to mix. When the dough is ready, all of the ingredients would come together into a workable ball, if using a mixer this will form and bounce around the bowl. If the dough is still too wet to the touch, add an extra tablespoon of flour. If it is a bit dry, add a little water as needed. Once the dough is mixed and kneaded place it within the kneading bag and seal using the sealing strap ready for chilling before use.

Rolling the Dough
Before you can start rolling you will need to manipulate your dough so it
is of a thickness that can be feed into the Roller tool. To do this you can
either take a traditional rolling pin to roll the dough out down to a size
that is approx. ¼” thick. This can also be done by kneading out the dough ball
using the base of the palm and pushing out with the fingers. Once the dough has
been rolled out dust the flat surfaces of the dough with flour this will help
prevent sticking when rolling.
- Plug the Pasta Maker into a 120V~ 60Hz grounded mains socket and switch on the machine using the switch located on the back of the main unit. The rollers will start rolling.
- Set the thickness seng using the dial buon on the side of the Roller Tool to posion `3′, this can be done by pulling out the dial and turning it into position.
- Feed a small portion of the dough into the roller tool and guide it with your hand. Repeat this process several times, gradually decreasing the thickness of the dough by adjusting the dial.
- Take the dough and gripping with one hand and supporting the underside of the dough with the other offer the edge of the dough into the rollers. The dough will grip and pass through the rollers as it passes support the dough as it passes through. Repeat 3-5 times before changing the setting to ‘2’ using thickness dial.
- Repeat the same process above on the ‘2’ and then ‘1’ to get the perfect thickness of pasta. The pasta will then be a fully rolled sheet; at this stage you can either hand cut the pasta into larger sizes (e.g., Lasagne sheets) or use the Pasta Maker to cut it for you (see ‘Cutting the Dough’ stage).
- After you have finished with the rolling stage turn off the Pasta Maker and remove the Roller Tool by pressing the disengage button on the top of the appliance and sliding out the Roller Tool.

until it engages in place with a click. Fit the Dust Cover (this may have to
be removed from the Roller tool) by clicking in place.
The Pasta Maker comes with the following 2 choices of Pasta Cutting Tools.
- 4MM – This will cut the rolled dough into 4mm wide pasta strands (Tagliatelle, Parpadelle). These wider strands are the perfect pasta option when wanting to serve your pasta with meat ragus and other more robust pasta sauces. The wider surface area to the pasta allows sauces to cling giving an ultimate taste experience.
- 2MM – This will cut the rolled dough into 2mm wide pasta strands (Fettucine, Linguine). These narrower strands are the perfect pasta option when wanting to serve your pasta with lighter sauces or oil dressings. The narrower surface area still always the sauce to kiss the pasta giving a more delicate taste experience.
Once the Cutting tool is fitted switch the Pasta Maker on using the ON/OFF switch located on the back of the appliance and the cutting blades will start.
Open the dust cover and carefully take the rolled pasta sheet in one hand supporting its underside with the other hand and offer it to the cutting tool. The cutting tool will grip the rolled pasta sheet pulling it through the tool whilst cutting the pasta into strands.
The cut pasta can then be collected to be used straight away or dried and stored for future use.
