Tips for Perfect Pasta
•Good pasta dough is firm and
leathery to touch, but also pliable.
It should never stick to your fingers
or crumble and fall apart. Many
factors, such as humidity, brand of
flour used, and size of eggs, may
affect dough consistency. To test
for correct dough consistency,
pinch a small amount of dough
together after mixing with the flat
beater. If the dough stays together
without sticking to your fingers, it
should work well. It may be
necessary to add a small amount
of flour or water to reach correct
dough consistency.
•Pastas can be either dried or frozen
for future use. To dry, lay strands of
pasta in a single layer on a towel
or drying rack, and completely air
dry. Store dried pasta in an airtight
container. To freeze, let pasta air-
dry for one hour before freezing in
an airtight container. It is not
necessary to separate strands of
pasta before freezing, just dust
with flour and form into “nests.”

thickness for each type of pasta.
Cut pasta can be used immediately
or frozen or dried for later use.
See “Tips for Perfect Pasta” for
information on freezing and drying.
NOTE: After you finish using your
Pasta Sheet Roller, replace hub cover
and tighten attachment knob.

Care and Cleaning
To clean Pasta Sheet Roller attachment,
let parts air dry for one hour and
then remove any dried dough using
any cleaning brush. If dried dough
cannot be removed, try hand-tapping
the attachment. A toothpick can be
used if necessary. Never use a knife or
other sharp object to remove excess
dough. Polish with a soft, dry cloth
and store attachment pieces in a dry
place at room temperature.
NOTE: Never wash or immerse
attachment in water or other liquid.
Never wash in dishwasher.
NOTE: Do not run a dishtowel or any
other cloth through the rollers to
clean them. Do not insert objects such
as knives, screwdrivers, etc., to clean
the unit.
Maintenance
Clean properly after use as described
above. We recommend using a light
mineral oil to lubricate the gears
periodically. Add a drop of mineral oil
to each of the far corners of the
rollers and/or cutters to lubricate the
gears (4 locations). This can be done
annually or after 50 uses.
