Pasta Discs
Pasta discs should be left to dry with the dough on them,
and then brushed clean using the cleaning tool. Letting the
pasta dough dry will make it easier to clean with the tool.
Dishwasher-Safe Parts
All detachable parts are dishwasher safe.
MAINTENANCE
Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized
service representative.

TROUBLESHOOTING

1. During the pasta making process, the appliance stops
working.
Possible Causes:
• The pasta maker has overheated due to long and
continuous working time. Disconnect from the power
source, and allow the pasta maker to cool down. To better
protect the lifetime of the appliance, the continuous
working time should be less than 40 minutes. You can
use the appliance again after 30 minutes of rest.
• The ratio of flour and water is incorrect — the dough may
be too dry.
• There's too much flour in the mixing bowl.
2. The mixing paddle is running idle, and there is no pasta
coming out.
Possible Cause:
• The ratio of the flour and water is incorrect. Disconnect the
plug from the power source and discard dough. Clean the
pasta maker, measure ingredients correctly (use a kitchen
scale to measure the flour weight more accurately), and
follow the user manual again to restart the pasta making.
3. The pasta breaks easily.
Possible Cause:
• The ratio of the flour and water is incorrect.
4. The pasta sticks together.
Possible Cause:
• The ratio of the flour and water is incorrect or too much
water has been poured in the mixing bowl.
5. Too much leftover dough inside the bowl.
Possible Causes:
• The flour has been either exposed to moisture before
use, or the dough is too wet. Keep your flour dry during
storage. Follow the user manual instructions to restart
the pasta making.
• The chamber, the mixing paddle and/or the shaping
disc have not been cleaned properly before use.
Make sure all parts are clean before use.
• The mixing paddle or the chamber is still wet.
Make sure all parts are completely dry before use.
• Water has not been added in the right order.
• The flour type is not suitable.
6. The bowl lid is pushed open from the inside.
Possible Cause:
• There's too much flour in the mixing bowl.
Note: To avoid many problems, be sure to follow the
instructions in this manual for making pasta.
