• total or partial non-compliance with these instructions- with spare parts that are not original or are not specific to the model.

Description of the machine
The machine in your possession is simple, compact, highly efficient, and powerful equipment.

• Since it must be used in food applications, the components were carefully chosen to provide maximum hygiene.
• The basin is made of aluminum anodized.
• The tools are made of stainless steel to ensure durability and maximum hygiene.
• Cast stainless steel spout and copper extruders.
• It provides two operation modes: mixing and extruding.
• Maximum mixing capacity 2.1 kg (1,5 kg flour 0.6 kg egg)
• Pre-arranged for dough-cutter installation.
• Ventilated single-phase motors offer the following advantages:
• consistency, high performance, and durability of the motor;
• increases the real operation time due to fewer interruptions;

The version represented in this manual has been built in compliance with EC Directive 2006/42 and further modifications. In case of an accident, no responsibility can be charged to the manufacturer if the machine has been modified, tampered with if it has been used with the safety guards removed or for purposes not permitted by the manufacturer.

Permitted use
The machine was designed and built for fresh pasta production.
It is to be used in professional environments; the machine operator has to be specialized in the field and have read and understood this manual. Do not use the machine unless safely fixed to a solid workbench.

Improper use is not permitted
The machine must be used exclusively for the purposes intended by the manufacturer; in particular:

• do not use the machine for food products other than those indicated by the manufacturer.
• do not use the machine unless it has been properly installed with all the protections intact and properly assembled to avoid the risk of severe injury.
• do not access the electrical components without having previously disconnected the machine from the mains: one risks electrocution.
• Follow the indicated flour/liquid quantities. Wrong quantities of ingredients can generate permanent damage to the machine.
• Do not wear clothing which do not follow the safety regulations.
• Check with your employer as regards the safety regulations and safety equipment to be provided with.
• Do not use the equipment if damaged.
• Before using the machine make sure that any dangerous condition has been appropriately cleared. In case of abnormal operation, stop the machine and warn the persons in charge of maintenance.
• Do not allow unauthorized persons to operate on the equipment.
• The emergency treatment in case of an accident caused by electrical shock im-plies to first remove the contact between the injured person from the conductor (since usually, the person faints). This is a dangerous operation. The victim in this case is a conductor: touching him/her could imply being electrocuted.
• It should therefore first remove contacts directly from the supply valve, other-wise move the victim using insulating materials (wood or PVC stick, cloth, leather, etc.). It is recommended to call for medical staff, the patient has to be transferred to a hospital.

• L = Barcode

WARNING!
Do not alter the data on the identification plate under any circumstances.

Warning plates

WARNING!
Do not intervene on electrical components when the machine is connected to the mains. One risks electrocution. Follow the indications on the plates. Failure to comply to the recommendations could result in personal injury. Make sure the plates are always in place and readable. Otherwise, apply or replace them .

1. Start switch
   It starts the mixer. If the cover is opened during operation, turn the switch to “OFF” and then press “ON” again to restart the machine.

2. Extruding/mixing mode selector
   It allows selecting the operation mode: mixing mode (the spiral moves the product inside the bowl) or extruding mode (the spiral pushes the product towards the die). To shift mode, stop the mixer, select the mode and start the machine.

CAUTION!
The machine is equipped with a forced ventilation system (fan) controlled by a bimetallic switch connected to the motor. When the motor reaches 60 °C, the fan starts autonomously and continues operating until the motor’s temperature drops down to 40 °C.

Inspection, shipping, delivery, and installation

Inspection
The equipment in your possession has been tested at our factory to verify that all moving parts work properly and it is properly adjusted. The tests are carried out with materials similar to those processed by the user.

Shipping and handling the machine
All materials shipped have been thoroughly checked before delivery to the shipping company. Unless otherwise agreed upon with the customer, the machine is wrapped with nylon and fixed with steel straps on the bench, covered by a box that is also fixed with steel straps to the pallet. On receiving the machine, check the integrity of the packaging. In case of damage to the packaging, the carrier shall sign the notice of receipt for instance which should sound like this: “I tentatively accept…” and the reason. On opening the packaging, in case of badly damaged components of the machine, file a complaint to the shipping company within three days from the date indicated on the documents.

Installation

WARNING!
The machine installation area has to be sturdy and the surface has to ensure safe support. When positioning the machine keep extensive space around it. This allows greater maneuverability during operation and ensures access for maintenance. Prepare suitable lighting around the machine to ensure proper visibility to the machine operator.

• Remove the cellophane wrapping off the machine and another packaging present on the inside.

Disposing of the packaging
The components such as cardboard, nylon, and wood products are comparable to municipal solid wastes. They can therefore be freely disposed of. Nylon is a pollutant material that produces toxic fumes when burned. Do not burn it; dispose of it off in accordance with the laws in force regarding the matter. If the machine is delivered in countries where special rules are implemented, the packaging must be disposed of according to such regulations.

Handling the machine

WARNING!
Handle the machine with care and attention, and avoid accidental falls that could damage it. To avoid muscle strain, when lifting the machine, use the force of the legs.

Electrical connections

WARNING!
Ensure the mains match the voltage given on the equipment’s ID plate. All interventions must be carried out exclusively by specialized and expressly authorized personnel. Carrie out the electrical connection to properly earthed mains.

Single phase machine 220 V / 50 Hz
In this version, the machine is supplied with a power cable having a 3 x 1.5 mm cross-section. The cable is connected to a three-poles single-phased plug. Connect the cable to single phase 220 Volt-50 Hz mains; interpose a differential circuit breaker of 16 amps.

In installations with voltages other than those mentioned, please consult the manufacturer. Should it be necessary to lengthen the power cable, or use a cable having a cross-section that matches the one installed by the manufacturer.

Starting up and shutting-down

Checking the electrical connections
Connect the plug to the mains and press the start button (3 Fig. 3.1.1). The machine gets enabled in extruding mode; ensure the spiral direction of rotation is counter-clockwise. Otherwise, disconnect the machine from the mains and contact your supplier.

Note:
In the machines connected to a single phase line, manufactured for this specific power supply, the correct direction of rotation is determined directly by the manufacturer.
