Assembling and using your Breville Pasta Emporia

Making homemade pasta is easy with the Pasta
Emporio but requires a bit of patience on your
first few batches.

Many gourmet recipes can be created using
the recipes in this booklet. However, it is
recommended to begin by using a basic
pasta recipe first to master the pasta making
techniques.

It is important to note, that due to the variations
of moisture content in different brands of flour,
it may be necessary to either add or subtract
water from the quantity indicated in the recipe.

Making fresh pasta will not only become easy, it
will also become fun and enjoyable.

Buon Appetito!

Before first use

Before using your Breville Pasta Emporia,
become familiar with all the parts. Remove
and safely discard all packaging materials and
promotional labels.

Wash the mixing chamber, chamber lid, pasta
discs, mixing paddle, spiral extruding rod, disc
holder, steel rod, cleaning tool, knife, measuring
spoon and slider in warm, soapy water.

Rinse and dry thoroughly (refer to cleaning, care
and storage, page 13).

Push the opposite end onto the back opening of
the mixing chamber so that it sits into place.

Insert the thin end of the steel rod into the
opening of the mixing paddle. Push the steel rod
through until it is fully inserted. You may need
to rotate the steel rod slightly in order for it to fit
into place.

Step 3

Guide the mixing chamber into the motor base.
Align the steel rod and the clear arrow to the
hole at the rear of the motor base.

Step 1

Place the Pasta Emporia on a dry, level work
surface.

Step 2 - The mixing chamber

Insert the indented end of the mixing paddle into
the front end of the mixing chamber.

8

Twist and slightly lift the mixing paddle until
it fits comfortably into the slot. Once correctly
inserted, it will “click” into place.

Step 4 - The spiral extruding rod

Fully insert the steel end of the spiral extruding
rod into the opening of the extruding chamber
and twist it into place.

When inserted correctly, the spiral extruding
rod should not be sticking out of the extruding
chamber.

Note

Step 5 - The pasta disc

Select your desired pasta disc and position the
disc on the opening of the extrusion chamber so
that the grooves of the disc fit comfortably on
the three tabs of the extrusion chamber.

Step 6 – The slider

Insert the slider (rectangular opening side first)
into the slot on the side of the motor base.

Fully push the slider all the way into the motor
base. The slider is now in the ‘mixing position’
as labelled on the slider.

Step 7 – Adding ingredients

Insert the power plug into a 230/240 volt power
outlet and switch the power outlet on.

Ensure the switch on the motor body is in the
‘OFF’ position before turning the power on at the
outlet.

Note

Add flour, egg, oil and/or flavourings (with the
exception of water) (using Basic recipe steps 1
and 2). Ensure slider is fully inserted and in the
‘MIXING’ position.

Pasta disc will sit firmly in position on the
opening of the extrusion chamber when inserted
correctly.

Note

Secure the disc holder over the opening of
the extrusion chamber by tightening it in a
clockwise direction.

Be careful not to over tighten the disc holder.

Note

Water should not be added until the mixing
process has started and the egg and oil are well
combined.

Note

Step 8 - The mixing chamber lid

Ensure the removable measuring spoon is in
position.

Insert the chamber lid by tilting it into the slots
on the chamber lock. Lock the lid by pushing it
down. The lid will ‘click’ into place.

continued

Measuring spoon can be inserted into the lid at
any stage of the assembly process.

Note

When adding water to the flour mixture, pour
water along the entire length of the opening in
the lid. This ensures that the water is distributed
evenly.

Be sure to replace the removable measuring

The Pasta Emporia has a safety feature so that
the appliance will not work unless the mixing
chamber and lid have been securely locked into
position.

Note

spoon when you are finished adding ingredients
to the mixing chamber. This will prevent
ingredients from escaping.

Tip: To prevent ingredients from escaping
the mixing chamber while adding water,
partially cover the opening with the
measuring spoon.

Step 9 - Adding water

Ensure the mixing chamber lid is locked in
position and the power outlet is switched on.

Switch the power ‘ON’ using the ON/OFF
switch to start the mixing process. Mix for
approximately 1 minute.

 WARNING: THE MIXING PADDLES TURN

EXTREMELY FAST. DO NOT PLACE YOUR HANDS
INTO THE MIXING CHAMBER UNTIL THE MIXING
PADDLE HAS COMPLETELY STOPPED MOVING.

Remove the measuring spoon and add water
in a slow steady stream using the quantity
required in your recipe (see recipe section of
this booklet).

Do not add all of the water. Hold about 20% of
the water in reserve.

10

Not all water may need to be added due to
varying moisture contents in different flours. Be
careful not to add too much water.

Note

Allow the Pasta Emporia to mix and knead the
dough for approximately 3 minutes or until the
dough resembles small “pea sized” pieces.

It is important to add extra water to the mixing
bin slowly so that the correct dough consistency
can be achieved. If too much water is added, the
dough will begin to stick into a large mass. If
this occurs turn the Pasta Emporia to the ‘OFF’
position and push the slider into the closed
position so flour cannot enter the chamber. Break
the dough up into small pieces, sprinkle it with a
little flour and allow the Pasta Emporio to re-mix
and knead until it resembles the required “pea
sized” pieces of dough (see trouble shooting
page 14).
