RISK ANALYSIS
The machine was designed in compliance with the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and Legislative Decree
no. 17 of the 27 January 2010.
In compliance with these standards an assessment of the possible damage resulting from risks to health and
the safety of operators of the machines in question, should a hazed come to light, was carried out.
According to the analysis there are outstanding risks associated with the use of the machine which cannot be
eliminated without loss of machine functionality and without increased cost.
These outstanding risks include:
The operators head may get crushed by the plates upon opening. The outstanding
risk is signaled by the pictogram on the machine.
Risk of breakage and projection of objects during insertion of the blade into the
protections during closure. Do not insert any objects into the protection grille when the machine is
moving, not even to unblock the plates.
In the case where the machine is blocked, switch it off and then on again.
Risk of crushing fingers at the plate piston base. The piston base is flared to enable
sliding of the fingers and to prevent catching; an outstanding risk of crushing of the
fingers where forced into position, remains.
Do not attempt to access or intervene at the piston base where the machine is moving.
The outstanding risk is signaled by the pictogram on the machine.
Risk of burns when touching the plates: during use, the surfaces of plates become hot,
we recommend taking extra caution. The outstanding risk is signaled by this pictogram.

PRE-TEST
Prior to delivery to the customer, the equipment is
tested at the manufacturer’s workshops both with
regard to functionality as well as to safety.
When the unit is turned on for the first time is
recommended that the temperature is set at 150°C and
left on for at least 1 hour.
During this phase, the equipment will produce fumes
and unpleasant odors due to the evaporation of the
moisture contained in the insulation.
These fumes and odors will disappear during the
subsequent operating cycles.
It is recommended that during the first operating cycle,
a thin layer of olive oil is placed on the hot plates using
paper and is subsequently cleaned using absorbent
paper, to then take a dough ball, flatten it and then
reshape it into a ball, repeating this until the dough no
longer sticks to the plates.
This operation serves to establish a protective layer over
the plates which facilitates movement of the pasta
during flattening; this must be repeated every time that
thorough cleaning of the plates is carried out.
ATTENTION: Please refer to the user’s manual for
startup and programming.
