around on the screen. The appliance at this state is in the standby mode. Press
the desired function then press confirm/cancel button to start. Press the confirm/
cancel button again turn offor stop operation.#
1-3 CUPS W/REST, 2-3 CUPS, 1 CUP
These buttons correlate directly to the amount placed in the mixing bowl. For
example if you put 2 cups of flour in the mixing bowl press 2-3 Cups or if your
dough needs a rest of 8 minutes press 1-3 Cups w/Rest. Rest is used to ferment
the dough, for example sourdough. On these functions the dough is automatically
kneaded and extruded. The flour cup must always be used when measuring the
flour. The indicator lights for “Knead”, “Ferment”, and “Extrude” below the screen
will illuminate when that step is being run, for example when the dough is being
kneaded, the light above knead will illuminate. #
EXTRUDE
If there is still dough remaining in the mixing bowl once it is done on the cup
function, press the EXTRUDE button to have the remaining dough extrude. This
function will take five minutes to complete. If the E1 error code appears on the
screen the dough is too dry and can not extrude. Clean the disc holes and add
more water then knead for two minutes before extruding the pasta. #
KNEAD
Press the KNEAD button if the flour and water need to be mixed together. This
function will take 4 minutes to complete.

Once the dough dries it will be much easier to clean.#
3. Use the cleaning scraper to assist with cleaning of the
mixing bowl and axle after the dough has dried. #
4. Use the cleaning scraper needles to clean the
extruding discs after the dough has dried.#
5. After the excess dough is cleaned offthe parts, it is
recommended to hand wash all the parts included
with the pasta maker with non-abrasive liquids and
sponge then dry with a cloth.#
NOTE: Do not immerse the body of the unit into water or
liquid to avoid damage to the unit. Do not put any parts
into the dishwasher. #

STORAGE
1. Unplug the cord from the unit. #
2. Make sure all parts are clean and dry.#
3. Place the discs into the provided storage box.#
TIPS
•The measurements for the flour and water provided are a guide and
may need to be adjusted with various flours and liquids used. Add a
small amount of water if the dough appears to dry.#
•When using eggs or other liquids with water in a dough recipe, first add
the eggs or other liquids to the liquid measuring cup then add water to
reach the correct amount of liquid needed for the recipe.#
•For flavored pastas such as spinach or tomato, the flavoring must be
made liquid and then put into the liquid measuring cup.#
•The dough for the pasta should have a dry, pebble like texture and not
appear to be wet.#
•If the cycle is done and there is still dough in the appliance, open the lid
and tear the dough into small pieces so that it can be extruded again.
Once the dough is torn into pieces, close the lid, press the Power
button and then Extrude. This should help to get the dough out, if after
the five minutes are over and there is still dough, repeat this process. #
•The rest function allows the gluten to rest making it easier to extrude.#
•The pasta does not need to be dried before cooking.#
•The cooking time for fresh pasta is much faster than dried pasta,
depending on the amount of pasta it could range from 3-7 minutes.#
