1. Secure the Pasta Maker: Attach the countertop table clamp to the main pasta maker unit and secure it firmly to a stable work surface. Ensure the machine is stable and does not wobble during use.
2. Insert Hand Crank: Insert the hand crank into the designated hole on the side of the pasta maker.
3. Anhang auswählen: Decide which type of pasta you wish to make. The main unit is used for rolling dough sheets to your desired thickness. For cutting noodles, slide the appropriate cutter attachment onto the main unit. The attachments slide easily into place without needing to secure them with screws.
4. Teig zubereiten: Ensure your pasta dough has the correct consistency – not too wet and not too dry. If the dough is too sticky, add a little flour. If it's too dry, it may crack.
5. Flour the Machine: Lightly dust the rollers and cutters with flour to prevent sticking.

4.1 Rolling Dough Sheets (Main Unit)

1. Initial Roll: Set the thickness dial to the thickest setting (usually '1'). Flatten a piece of dough slightly by hand and feed it through the rollers while turning the hand crank.
2. Folding and Rerolling: Fold the rolled dough sheet in half or into thirds and feed it through the thickest setting again. Repeat this process 3-4 times until the dough is smooth and pliable.
3. Gradual Thinning: Adjust the thickness dial to the next thinner setting. Feed the dough sheet through the rollers without folding. Continue to decrease the thickness setting gradually, rolling the dough through each setting until you reach your desired pasta sheet thickness. There are 9 different settings available.

4.2 Cutting Noodles (Attachments)

1. Attach Cutter: Once your dough sheet is at the desired thickness, remove the hand crank from the main unit and insert it into the chosen cutter attachment (Spaghetti/Fettuccine, Angel Hair/Lasagnette, or Ravioli).
2. Teig füttern: Carefully feed the rolled pasta sheet into the cutter attachment while turning the hand crank. The machine will cut the dough into individual noodles.
3. Collect Noodles: Catch the freshly cut noodles as they emerge from the machine. Lightly dust them with flour to prevent sticking and place them on a drying rack or a floured surface.

1. Sofortige Reinigung: After each use, clean the pasta maker immediately. Do not let dough dry on the machine.
2. Nicht eintauchen: The main unit and attachments are NOT dishwasher safe and should NOT be submerged in water.
3. Brush Away Excess Dough: Use the provided cleaning brush to remove any excess flour or dough particles from the rollers and cutters. For stubborn bits, a wooden skewer or toothpick can be helpful.
4. Abwischen: Wischen Sie die Außenseite der Maschine mitamp cloth. For a deeper clean, you can use hot soapy water on a cloth, ensuring no water enters the internal mechanisms.
5. Gründlich trocknen: Ensure all parts are completely dry before storing to prevent rust.

6. Fehlerbehebung

• Dough is Sticky: If the dough sticks to the rollers or cutters, it is likely too wet. Add a small amount of flour to the dough and knead it until it reaches a firmer, non-sticky consistency. Lightly flour the machine's rollers and cutters.
• Dough is Cracking/Breaking: If the dough is too dry, it will crack or break when rolled. Add a few drops of water or olive oil and knead until it becomes more pliable.
• Handle Falls Out: Ensure the hand crank is fully inserted into the designated slot. If it continues to fall out, ensure the machine is securely clamped to the countertop, as movement can dislodge the handle.
• Metal Shavings/Residue: Before first use, it is crucial to clean the machine thoroughly by running small pieces of scrap dough or paper towels through the rollers and cutters until no residue appears. This removes any manufacturing oils or metal particles.
• Noodles Not Cutting Cleanly: Ensure the dough is at the correct thickness for the chosen cutter. If the dough is too thick or too thin, the cutters may not work effectively. Also, ensure the dough is adequately floured to prevent sticking.
