RECIPES FOR THE DOUGH WILL
FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
THESE INSTRUCTIONS START
WITH FULLY MIXED DOUGH,
READY TO BE USED.
1. Follow the “Pasta Machine
Assembly Instructions.” Align the
notches on the
Handle with the
notches in the
Roller Drive Slot.
Slide the
Handle into the Roller
Drive Slot (Figure F).
2. Locate the
Regulator Knob
on the left side of the
Pasta
Machine. The Regulator Knob
is numbered 1-7. The number 1
setting is the narrowest setting for
the
Sheet Rollers; the number 7
is the widest setting for the
Sheet
Rollers (Figure G). To adjust the
Regulator Knob, pull out on the
Knob and turn it to the desired
setting. As you turn the
Regulator
Knob you will be able to see the
Sheet Rollers moving closer
together or further apart.
3. Lightly flour your work space.
See “Pasta Tips” for more
instruction on making dough and
pasta.
4. With the
Regulator Knob in
the “7” position, turn the
Handle
clockwise while feeding a piece of
dough into the
Rollers (Figure H).
Once the dough has gone through
the
Rollers lightly flour it, fold it in
half and run it through the
Rollers
again. Repeat this process several
times: lightly flour, fold in half, run
through
Rollers.
5. As the dough exits the
Rollers, it
will get longer with each pass. Lay
the strip of dough out flat on your
work space.
