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.

•Divide sheets of rolled pasta into

halves or thirds before cutting into

angel hair or noodles, as they can

become quite long and difficult to

manage.

•Some hand separation may be

necessary when cutting wheat or

spinach dough with the Angel Hair

or Noodle 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 separate strands of

pasta before freezing, just dust

with flour and form into “nests.”

knob to setting

2. Feed dough

through rollers

to further

flatten. Change to setting 3 and

feed dough through rollers again.

Continue to increase roller setting

until desired dough thickness is

reached. See “Suggested Roller

Settings” to determine the correct

thickness for each type of pasta.

5. To make angel

hair or thick

egg noodles,

exchange Pasta

Sheet Roller

for Cutter

attachment. Feed flattened sheets

of dough through cutter. 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 and Cutter

attachments, replace hub cover and

tighten attachment knob.

Using Your Pasta Sheet Roller and Cutters

Control

To Use:

1. Prepare pasta dough (see “Tips

for Perfect Pasta.”) Cut dough into

pieces about

3⁄8

inch (1cm) thick.

Flatten each piece slightly.

2. Set adjustment knob on Pasta Sheet

Roller at 1 by

pulling the knob

straight out and

turning to setting

1. Release knob,

making certain

pin on roller housing engages

opening on the back of the knob,

allowing the knob to fit flush to

the roller housing.

3. Turn mixer to Speed 2 or 4. Feed

flattened piece

of dough into

rollers to knead.

Fold dough in

half and roll

again. Repeat

folding and

kneading

process several

times, or until

dough is

smooth and pliable. Lightly dust

pasta with flour while rolling and

cutting to aid in drying and

separation. Knead and fold each

piece of dough in the same

manner.

Care and Cleaning

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: Never wash or immerse

attachments 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.
