TROUBLE SHOOTING
Problem Solution
Flour accidentally
falls into the
extrusion chamber
Ensure that the slider is in the mixing position before adding ingredients.
To remove excess flour from the extrusion chamber:
Switch the Pasta Maker ‘OFF’ using the ON/OFF switch. Ensure that the
mixing paddle has stopped rotating.
Disassemble the Pasta Maker and remove excess flour from the extrusion
chamber by using a dry soft cloth or a pastry brush. Re-assemble the Pasta
Maker and continue using as normal.
Adding all
ingredients at once
(flours, egg, oil,
water, flavourings)
Ensure that the power is in the ‘OFF’ position using the ON/OFF switch.
Switch the power off at the power outlet, remove the power cord.
Disassemble the mixing chamber .
Remove all ingredients, wash all parts (except motor base) in warm to hot
soapy water, rinse and thoroughly dry.
Ensure the motor base is clean and dry.
Re-assemble all of the parts.
Add flour egg, oil and/or flavouring (no water) and start the mixing process
again following directions in the recipe section of this booklet.
Dough is too wet If too wet, add a little flour and break the large pieces of dough into smaller
pieces and re-mix for approximately 1 minute before continuing to extrude.
Dough is too dry If dough is too dry, add a little water and re-mix dough for approximately
1 minute before re-opening the slider and continuing to extrude.
Extruded pasta is
sticking together
Immediately sprinkle a little flour on the pasta as it extrudes and ensure fresh
pasta is placed on a well floured surface.
The mixing
chamber release
button can not be
pushed down to
release the mixing
chamber
During the extruding process, the mixing chamber may move forward from
the motor base due to the force of the pasta dough pressing against the
pasta disc. If this happens push the mixing chamber back into the motor
body and then press the mixing chamber release button to remove the mixing
chamber from the motor base.
