WARNING: RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle
is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated dangerous
voltage within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient
magnitude to constitute a risk of fire or electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert
the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance
(servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.

SPECIAL CORD SET
INSTRUCTIONS
A short power-supply cord is
provided with the stand mixer to
reduce the risks resulting from
becoming entangled in or tripping
over a longer cord.
Longer extension cords are
available and may be used if
care is exercised in their use.
If a long extension cord is used,
the marked electrical rating of the
extension cord must be at least as
great as the electrical rating of the
appliance, and the longer cord
should be arranged so that it will
not drape over the countertop or
tabletop where it can be pulled
on by children or tripped over.
NOTICE
The stand mixer has a polarized plug
(one blade is wider than the other).
To reduce the risk of electric shock,
this plug will fit in a polarized outlet
only one way. If the plug does not fit
fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If
it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician.
Do not modify the plug in any way.

ASSEMBLY
INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: For better pasta results, warm
the pasta maker attachment parts in
hot water and dry thoroughly before
assembling.
1. Insert the feed screw, long metal
end first, into the front end of the
pasta attachment body.
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.
2. Pull the slow speed outlet cover
release lever on your stand mixer
to the right to open the outlet
cover.
3. Pull the slow speed outlet cover
release lever again to insert the
pasta maker into the slow speed
power outlet. The feed tube
should face you in an upright
position. Turn the pasta maker
both ways until it locks in place.
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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Dough pieces should be no larger
than a grape (no more than ¾ inch
(1.9 cm) around) when placed into
the pasta maker.
• The pasta maker should not be
stuffed. Add dough pieces one at
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.
• To cook pasta, add 1 tablespoon
(15 ml) of salt and one tablespoon
of oil to 6 quarts (5.7 L) boiling
water. Add pasta slowly and sepa-
rately; make sure no pasta is
sticking together before adding to
water. Cook until tender, about 3
to 8 minutes, stirring pasta occa-
sionally. Drain in colander.
• For the 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.
