How to prepare the machine for use
Fix the machine onto the table with the clamp provided and insert the handle into the roller hole (Fig.1).
When using the machine for the first time, clean it with a dry cloth to remove any excess oil. To clean the
rollers, pass a small quantity of dough through them and then throw the dough away.
How to prepare the mixture
Serves 6 people
Ingredients: 500 g (~1 lb) soft wheat flour and 5 eggs, instead of using 5 eggs you can use a glass of natural
mineral water. For “al dente” pasta mix use 250 g of soft wheat flour and 250 g durum wheat flour. Do not
add any salt! Pour the flour into a bowl and the eggs into the middle of the flour (Fig.2). Mix the eggs with a
fork until they are completely blended with the flout. Knead the mixture with your hands (Fig.3) until it is
completely homogenous and consistent. If the mixture is too dry add some water, if it’s too soft add some
flour. A good mixture should never stick to your fingers. Remove the mixture from the bowl and place it onto
a floured table (Fig.4). If necessary, continue to knead the mixture and cut it into small pieces (Fig.5).
Advice: do not use eggs straight from the fridge!
How to prepare the dough and the pasta
Set the machine regulator to position 1, pulling it outwards and turning it so that the two smooth rollers are
completely open (approx. 3 mm) (Fig.6). Pass a piece of mixture through the machine turning the handle
(Fig.7). Repeat this operation 5-6 times, folding the dough over and adding some flour in the middle if
necessary (Fig.8). When the dough had taken a regular shape, pass it through the rollers once only with the
regulators set on number 2 (Fig.9), then once again on number 3 continuing until you obtain the desired
thickness (min. thickness at no. 9 approx. 0,2mm). Whit a knife, cut the dough crossways in pieces approx.
25cm (10 inches) long. Insert the handle in the hole for the cutting rollers, turn it slowly and pass the dough
trough so as to obtain the type of paste you prefer (Fig.10 and 11). Note 1: If the rollers won’t cut, this
means the dough is too soft: in this case you should pass the dough through the smooth rollers, after adding
some flour to the mixture. Note 2: However when the dough is to dry and cannot be ‘caught’ by the cutting
rollers, add a little water to the mixture and pass it through the smooth rollers once again. Place the paste
on a tablecloth and leave it to dry for at least an hour. Remember that pasta can last a long time (1-2 weeks)
if kept in a cool dry place. Bring a pan of salted water to the boil (4 liters per ½ kg of pasta) to which you will
add the pasta. Fresh pasta cooks in just a few minutes, averaging 2-5 minutes, depending on the thickness.
Stir gently and then drain the pasta one it has finished cooking.
Maintenance of the machine
1. During use, clean the scrapers underneath the smooth rollers every so often with a piece of kitchen paper (Fig.12).
2. Never wash the machine with water of in the dishwasher! (Fig.13).
3. To clean the machine after use, use a brush or a wooden rod (Fig.14)
4. If necessary put several drops of vaseline oil on the ends of the cutting rollers (Fig.15).
5. Do not insert knives of cloth between the rollers!
