1. PREPARING THE MACHINE
Prepare the machine before every pro-
cess cycle. BE SURE that the machine,
especially parts which come in contact
with food products (extrusion sleeve,
Archimedean screw, pool, mixer and draw-
plate) are perfectly clean (see chapter 6
CLEANING on page 25).
Always clean with machine off.
2. OPERATING PRINCIPLE
This machine kneads the different products
desired and enables you to obtain different
kinds of noodles with a different group of
lengths because it draws the dough, thanks
to different discs.
This action is carried out thanks to a mixer
linked to an Archimedean screw which obli-
ges the product to assume the desired
shape going through a drawplate.
3. USE OF THE MACHINE
Only after making sure that the
machine is completely clean, espe-
cially all the parts which are directly
in contact with the product (extru-
sion sleeve, Archimedean screw, pool,
mixer, drawplate, cover, control
system; if it is necessary, use some
warm water; see chapter 6 CLEANING
page 25) you can carry out the reque-
sted operations in order to have the
desired dough.
Caution: the machine will run only if
the safety microswitch is serviceable
and perfectly positioned.
After having turned the machine off:
• position the selector on “0” (Fig. 2 ) and
verify the correct set-up of the Archi-
medean screw (Fig. 1 ) making sure that
the cylinder part is sustained by the drag-
ging shaft;

Any kind of flour can be used (bran or bran-
flour). The dough can be kneaded only with
eggs or with a mix of water and eggs. Water
can be partially replaced by spinach or well-
cut vegetables in order to obtain green
noodles.
Because the flour’s humidity changes
according to the kind, the environment and
the place where it is stocked, the indicated
quantities have to be adapted to the kind of
flour which is used, lowering or increasing
the quantity of water.
The dough is the right one when, at the end
of kneading, it is as big as coffee beans.
If the flour forms lumps you have poured in
too much liquid.
In this case, before turning the switch from
KNEAD to DRAWPLATE you have to add
some more flour and knead a little longer. If
flour does not form a ball and is too floury,
add some more water.
For the dough for the sheet of pasta which is
to be re-kneaded please use “00” flour and
add two eggs per kilo of flour (maximum).
With these quantities you will obtain a very
stretchy dough which is easy to knead.
22
• then make sure that the plastic cap
(Fig. 1 ) which replaces the drawplate is
correctly positioned and the ring nut
(Fig. 1 ) is tightly well-screwed on;
• lastly lock the mixer (Fig. 1 ) tightly in its
seat by means of the head-knob (Fig. 1 )
or tighten the mobile support in the TR
75/E (Fig. 1 bis see page 21).
Pull up the pool cover (Fig. 3 ) and
always put in the pre-established ingre-
dients in the following sequence: flour and
then, after closing the cap, all the other
liquid elements.
In order to obtain the right dough, you need
to create the right ratio between the weight
of the flour and the weight of the liquid part;
in order to obtain a very good product, the
flour has to contain a humidity percentage
of no more than 15%; this allows the addi-
tion of water equal to 35% or up to 38% of
the flour’s weight. If you are using flours
with different humidity contents, please
change the quantity of the liquid in the
opposite ratio. Moreover, in order to better
use the machine, the product inside the
pool has to be higher than at a minimum
level which coincides more or less with the
position of the mixer axle.

3.1 USEFUL ADVICE IN ORDER TO OBTAIN GOOD DOUGH
3.2 QUANTITIES IN ORDER TO OBTAIN GOOD DOUGH
Pour the desired quantity of flour into the pool; it needs 7 eggs per kilo of flour:
• Supposed weight of an egg: 50 grams.
• If you take 1 egg away you need to add 50 grams of water.
Model Flour kg. Number of eggs Grams of pasta product
0,5 3 650
TR 70 1 7 1.350
1,2* 9 1.650
1 7 1.350
TR 75/E 2 14 2.700
3 21 4.150
* This is the maximum capacity of the pool.

Now shut the cover and put the selector in
the position (Fig. 4 ).
Push the start button (Fig. 4 ).
Add the liquid part pouring it slowly but
quickly through the small hole in the cover.
At the end of the kneading operation, which
should take around 10 minutes, make sure
the product has the right thickness and
should look like coffee beans (check throu-
gh the small holes of the cover).
Turn the machine off by switching the selec-
tor to “0” (Fig. 4 ), or push the Stop button
(Fig. 4 ).
3.3 INSTALLATION OF THE DRAWPLATE
AND START-UP OF PRODUCTION
Make sure the machine is switched
off.
Withdraw the drawplate (Fig. 5 ) reque-
sted by the container filled with water where
it was put after its last use.
Thoroughly rinse with plenty of running
warm water in order to have the piece at the
right temperature (see chapter 6 CLEANING
page 25). Dry it with a soft cloth. Unscrew
the blocking ring nuts (Fig. 5 and 6)
and carefully clean the internal part inclu-
ding the edging.
Take the plastic cap off (Fig. 5 and 6).
Disassemble the drawplate (Fig. 7 ).
Screw in the ring nuts by hand and verify
that all the pieces are in their places and
that they are aligned along the axle.
In order to start production, position the
selector on the position (Fig. 4 ) and
push the start button (Fig. 4 ).
The initial product coming out of the machi-
ne has an unacceptable look; this is the rea-
son why it has to be eliminated.
After a short time (a couple of minutes) the
product coming out is acceptable, the
colour goes from whitish to yellow and it has
a greater thickness.
The cut of the pasta at the desired length
can be made by hand or by knife.
In the first case it is usually long length

noodles (spaghetti or tagliatelle) and in the
second case is especially short noodles
(macaroni, etc.).
If the product is quite wet and tends to be
sticky, it is best to dry the surface in any
case, by switching on the fan (Fig. 11 ,
only 75/E).
At the end of the operation:
• stop the machine by switching the selec-
tor to the “0” position (Fig. 11 ) and
then turn it on the kneading position
(Fig. 11 ) for 10-15 seconds so that the
pressure on the drawplate, caused by the
product itself, is eliminated;
• switch the selector to “0” (Fig. 11 ) or
push the Stop button (Fig. 11 );
• disassemble and wash the moving pieces
and clean the machine (see chapter 6
CLEANING page 25).
4. TRANSPORTATION AND HANDLING
The machine is forwarded contained in spe-
cial packaging which is securely closed
with bands (Fig 8).
Apart from the machine, you can find the
operating instructions and the conformity
declaration to the EC directive.
The machine has to be unloaded from the
means of transport, pulling it up and tran-
sporting it with a wheel-trolley.
Unless you need to check its contents, you
are recommended not to open the packing
until the moment of installation.

Remove straps, packing and polystyrene
strips. Dispose of this material according to
the regulations in force. Lift the machine
and place on the installation site.
Make sure that the bearing surface
of the machine is horizontal and
steady.
5. INSTALLATION, CONNECTION
AND SET-UP
Install and use the machine in a room that
can be efficiently ventilated, and where the
floor is smooth and compact and easy to
clean.
WARNING: During the machine’s
operation, in order to obtain a pro-
duct with the right thickness and
humidity, avoid air currents which will
cause precocious drying of the pro-
duct together with its deterioration.
In order to give the necessary stability to
the machine, check that the footers (Fig.
9) are securely attached to the floor;
otherwise, turn them to avoid instability.
Position the machine in the desired place
with a free back space of around 50 centi-
meters and a side space of 70-80 centime-
ters in order to guarantee easy use of the
machine and its cleaning (Fig. 10).
Please check that the voltage of the machi-
ne which is written on the identification
label, (see page 19) matches the one fore-
seen by the system on your premises.
Attach the right plug to the machine power
cable in order to make the electrical con-
nection to the system.
WARNING: (75/E) Have the plug fit-
ted to the power supply by quali-
fied personnel. Take the necessary
precautions to prevent the cable from
being crimped or damaged.

After mating the plug to the mains socket,
the machine is ready for use.
First, however, check out proper operation
of all moving parts and components of the
machine.
5.1 CONTROL OF THE INSTALLATION
NOTE: Every drive is voluntarily run by
the start button, when the bowl
cover is closed (Fig. 12 ).
Verify that:
• In the “0” position (Fig. 11 ) all the ele-
ments of the machine have to stop; for
model TR 75/E, in the “drawplate position”
(Fig. 11 ) the mixer rotates in a clockwise
direction and the Archimedean screw must
rotate in the same direction (check through
the slots in the lid); for model TR 70, on the
other hand, in the “drawplate position”
(Fig. 11 ) the mixer rotates in a counter-
clockwise direction and the Archimedean
screw must rotate in the opposite direction;
in the “knead” position (Fig. 11 ) the
parts must rotate in the opposite direction.
If the machine or some of its parts fail,
call your local authorised dealer or
concessionaire for repairs.
6. CLEANING
Warning: For healthy and
hygienic processing of nutritio-
nal products, be sure to keep
your machine and the surroun-
ding environment clean.
DANGER: Always cut off power sup-
ply before cleaning.
You have to properly clean all the elements
which are in contact with the product; pro-
tection cover, pool, mixer, Archimedean

The moving parts have to be disassembled
as follows:
• Mixer: make sure the external shovel is in
the upper vertical position (Fig. 13 )
(only this position allows the disassem-
bling of the piece).
For model TR 70: remove the mixer, pull
out the knob (Fig. 13 ) until the mixer
disengages;
for model TR 75/E: remove the mixer by
unscrewing the external mobile support
until the mixer disengages (Fig. 13 bis ).
Take the square shaft away from its place
(Fig. 13 ) and at the same time turn the
external end upwards. If you want to
assemble the piece follow these instruc-
tions vice versa. Line the central point of
the shaft with the peg of the moving sup-
port; then, leave the handle.
•Ring nut: (Fig. 13 ) and drawplate
(Fig. 13 ): unscrew the ring nut by hand,
avoiding pieces falling when the ring nut
comes out of its place, in order to avoid
causing damage both to people or to the
pieces themselves.
• Archimedean screw: (Fig. 13 ): after
disassembling the ring nut and the draw-
plate, the Archimedean screw can easily
be taken off from the machine by pushing
its spiral from the internal end.
6.1 COVER AND POOL CLEANING
Eliminate the dough residue and make sure
to thoroughly clean the most remote-access
pieces: connections of the Archimedean
screw and mixer movements (Fig 14), extru-
sion sleeve, cover and pool internal parts.
Use some warm water in order to eliminate
the residual product and then rinse; dry the
surfaces with the help of blotting paper.
