ASSEMBLY
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Insert the feed screw, metal
end first, into the front end of
the pasta extruder body.
Rotate until the plastic X on
the feed screw lines up with
the X-shaped groove inside
the pasta extruder body.
2. Fit one of the pasta plates on
top of the feed screw. Make
sure that the notches on the
four sides of the pasta plate
slide securely onto the four
grooves on the front end of
the body.
3. Fit the ring nut over the pasta
plate and turn it clockwise
until it is secured to the body.
4. Attach the pasta cutter by
sliding it over the ring nut and
aligning the two notches on
the side of the cutter with the
two grooves on the pasta
extruder body. Push in firmly,
and while pushing firmly, turn
the cutter clockwise to
secure. It should move freely
around the pasta plate and
extruder body.
5. To sw i tc h th e pa s t a p l at e , f i rs t
remove the pasta cutter, then
the ring nut and current pasta
plate, then follow assembly
instructions 2 to 4 with the
new pasta plate. Make sure
there is no pasta dough
obstructing the round groove
located in the center of the
feed screw.
ATTACHING TO
STAND MIXER
1. Make sure Stand Mixer is OFF.
2. Gently pull outlet
cover off front
of mixer head to
remove.
3. Turn the Stand
Mixer attachment
knob counterclockwise until

extruder
attachment
into the outlet
opening, lining
up the square metal hub on

indentation in the outlet
opening.
5. Turn the Stand Mixer
attachment knob clockwise to

OPERATION
1. Prepare pasta dough as
directed by recipe, letting it
rest in the refrigerator until it is
ready to be extruded.
2. Cut dough into 1-inch pieces.
Cover with plastic wrap or
a damp paper towel so it
doesn’t dry out.

3. Line a sheet tray with parchment paper and generously
dust with semolina our to
keep pasta from sticking. Set
sheet below extruder attachment.
4. Set Stand Mixer to Speed 5
and slowly drop in 4 pieces of
dough, one at a time, without
using the pusher (if making
spaghetti or bucatini, use
Speed 10). Do not overll.
NOTE: Dough will “knead” in
the extruder chute for about
1 minute, before extrusion
begins.
5. When extruded pasta reaches
desired length, use the pasta
cutter ring to cut it, by turning
the cutter rst to the left and
then quickly to the right; let
cut pasta fall onto dusted
sheet tray. If pasta dough
sticks to the back of the cutter
this may lead to unclean cuts.
If this is the case rst stop the
unit, remove the pasta cutter
ring and clean out any stuck
dough. Replace cutter ring
and continue with remaining
dough. If this continues to
occur dough may be too soft.
To prevent this from occurring dust each piece of dough
in “00” our before putting
through the extruder.
6. Drop in more dough pieces,
one at a time, as pasta is
extruded and cut. Generously
dust all cut pasta with more
semolina our.
7. Repeat extrusion and cutting process with remaining
dough pieces. NOTE: Pasta
can be cooked immediately or
generously dusted with semolina our, dried and stored in
airtight bags in the refrigerator.
8. Boil pasta in generously salted
water to desired doneness.
Recommended cooking
time is about 3 minutes for
spaghetti and 6 minutes for al
dente rigatoni, though cooking
times vary (see Tips and Hints
section).
CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
1. Remove the pasta cutter
manually by pushing it rmly
and rotating it counterclockwise to release the
notches from the grooves on
the pasta extruder body. Then
remove the ring nut manually
or with the wrench if it is
fastened too tightly.
2. Feed screw can be removed
by using the hook on the top
of the wrench/pusher.
Please note: the feed screw
metal washers may be very
hot. Let cool before touching.
3. Allow dough on the pasta
plates to dry before cleaning.
Once dough is dry, separate
the plastic and metal pieces
of the pasta plates and gently
tap out any loose dough. To
remove stubborn dry dough,
using a wooden or plastic
skewer, or toothpick, is help-
