The feed tube should face you in an upright position. Turn the pasta maker both ways until it locks in place. 2.Fit one of the pasta plates on top of the feed screw. Make sure that the notches on the bottom of the pasta plate slide securely on to the two pins on the front end of the body. 3.Fit the ring nut over the pasta plate and turn it clockwise until it is loosely secured to the body. 4.To switch the pasta plate, first remove the ring nut and current pasta plate, then follow assembly instructions 2-3 above with the new pasta plate. OPERATION 1.Make pasta dough in your stand mixer. The dough should be smooth and moist but not too sticky. Do not use recipes that are too dry – an overly dry pasta mix could damage your pasta maker. (see page 5 “Tips and Hints”) 4.Tighten the ring nut by turning it clockwise. 5.Turn stand mixer to speed 4. 6.Drop small pieces (about the size of a grape) of the pasta dough into the feed tube, one at a time. Allow the feed screw to clear after each piece. You can gently push the dough further down the feed tube using the handle of the wrench. Do not use anything other than the wrench handle to push the mix – this might break your pasta maker. 7.The first batch of pasta will come out curly so it may need to be reprocessed. The second batch will be straighter. 8.Cut the pasta when it has reached the desired length. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE 1.Remove the ring nut manually, or with the wrench if it is fastened too tightly. 2.Remove the pasta plate and feed screw. 3.Allow dough on the pasta plates to dry before removing it with the cleaning tool. 4.Wash ring nut in warm soapy water. Do not put the ring nut in the dishwasher. All other parts can be washed in warm soapy water and are top rack dishwasher-safe. Tips and Hints • It is essential to stir the flour before you measure it. Do not scoop it right out of the bag. • The key to making fresh pasta is to have the right feel of the dough. It is important that the dough is not too moist or too dry. The dough should be pliable and come together in one ball yet should not be sticky to the touch. • Pasta dough is too dry if it feels floury and small granules of flour mix are evident. If dough is too dry add warm water 1 teaspoon at a time until desired texture is achieved. • The humidity of the day can greatly affect the pasta dough. If the day is very humid, watch and feel the dough when you are finished kneading. If it is still sticky, knead in one tablespoon of flour at a time until the stickiness disappears. • The main differences between dried pasta and fresh pasta are the ingredients, cooking time, and texture. Dried pasta dough is mainly made of semolina flour, water, and salt. Dried pasta takes at least twice as long as fresh to cook. • Fresh pasta has a softer, more delicate texture, making it more absorbent and more suitable for lighter sauces such as tomato, olive oil, cream or butter. Dried pasta has a firmer, denser texture that holds up to heartier, meatier, and heavy sauces. • 1½ pounds of fresh pasta make 4 ample adult portions. • It may be necessary to experiment with the fresh egg pasta recipe a few times to get the feel of the dough and the pasta making process. • Dough pieces should be no larger than a grape (no more than ¾ inch around) when placed into the pasta maker. • The pasta maker should not be stuffed. Add dough pieces one a time and watch to see them clear the scroll. Should a piece get stuck, gently nudge lodged dough piece with the back of the wrench. • The dough may come out curly in the first batch. The dough should straighten in the second batch. Any curled pasta can be reprocessed. • Separate pasta as soon as it is cut from the pasta maker. Toss freshly extruded pasta with cornmeal to prevent sticking. Pile cornmeal- dusted noodles together in loose bundles on a flat, clean surface. • Fresh pasta is best if cooked immediately. If storing, place fresh pasta dough or noodles in plastic bags and keep refrigerated for up to 3 days. Fresh pasta dries very quickly and becomes fragile easily. • When cooking pasta, it is important to use a very large stockpot filled with enough water for the pasta to move. Two tablespoons of salt should be added to the water. Add the pasta when water is at a full boil. Start checking fresh pasta at 30 seconds. Tubular and thicker pasta will take longer, up to 5 minutes to cook. • Although adding oil is not the proper way to cook dried pasta, the addition of 1 tablespoon of oil will prevent fresh pasta from sticking together. • For lasagna and fettuccine, cook the full recipe of pasta in 2 batches. • The stand mixer should rest at least one hour after processing 2 pasta dough recipes.
