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

Some hand separation may be  
necessary when cutting wheat or  
spinach dough with the fettuccine  
or spaghetti cutter. The small  
pieces of wheat bran and spinach  
are difficult to cut.  
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 add a small amount  
of flour or water to reach correct  
dough consistency.  
Divide sheets of rolled pasta into  
halves or thirds before cutting into  
fettuccine, spaghetti, or linguine  
fini, as they can become quite long  
and difficult to manage.

Care and Cleaning  
NOTE: Never wash or immerse  
attachments in water or other liquid.  
Never wash in dishwasher.  
To clean Pasta Sheet Roller and Cutter  
attachments, let parts air dry for one  
hour and then remove any dried  
dough using the 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: 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  
Lubrication Locations  
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.
