or 100% durum wheat flour

(e.g. rigatoni, fusilli, shells, spaghetti, etc.).
This type of pasta is made using only durum wheat flour and water in proportions of 30-33%.
When other types of flour are used, it is preferable to mix the flours well before adding the liquid.
Depending on your personal tastes, you may or may not add salt in quantities of roughly 2 g per kilo of
flour, taking care to dissolve it thoroughly in the liquid.

USING THE MACHINE

Before using the machine, always complete the steps explained in the section on 'Cleaning'.
1 - Stand the machine on a suitable surface.
2 - Place the die of your choice in the die-holder ring and screw them onto the machine.
3 - If you are making short pasta shapes, choose the appropriate blade for cutting the pasta from the
two types provided. IMPORTANT! Take care when handling the pasta cutter blade.
4 – Fit the manual or motorized (optional) pasta cutter on the machine, fixing it in place with the locking
knob (9).
5 - When using the motorized pasta cutter, insert the plug on the power cord for the motorized pasta
cutter in the socket (11) located on the machine.
6 - Open the cover and fill the mixer bowl with the basic ingredients - soft flour and/or durum wheat
flour, water and/or eggs.
It is always advisable to weigh the soft and/or durum wheat flour that you add to the bowl in order to
establish the exact quantity of liquid (water and/or eggs) required.
