Tips for Perfect Pasta
• Good pasta dough is firm and leathery to touch, but also pliable. It should never stick to your fingers or crumble and fall apart. Many factors, such as humidity, brand of flour used, and size of eggs, may affect dough consistency. To test for correct dough consistency, pinch a small amount of dough together after mixing with the flat beater. If the dough stays together without sticking to your fingers, it should work well. It may be necessary to add a small amount of flour or water to reach correct dough consistency.
• Divide sheets of rolled pasta into halves or thirds before cutting into fettuccine, spaghetti, or linguine fini, as they can become quite long and difficult to manage.
• Some hand separation may be necessary when cutting wheat or spinach dough with the fettuccine or spaghetti cutter. The small pieces of wheat bran and spinach are difficult to cut.
•Pastas can be either dried or frozen for future use. To dry, lay strands of pasta in a single layer on a towel or drying rack, and completely air dry. Store dried pasta in an airtight container. To freeze, let pasta air­dry for one hour before freezing in an airtight container. It is not necessary to separate strands of pasta before freezing, just dust with flour and form into “nests.”

4. Move adjustment knob to setting
2. Feed dough through rollers to further flatten. Change to setting 3 and feed dough through rollers again. Continue to increase roller setting until desired dough thickness is reached. See “Suggested Roller Settings” to determine the correct thickness for each type of pasta.
5. To make fettuccine or spaghetti/thin linguine, exchange Pasta Sheet Roller for cutter attachment. Feed flattened sheets of dough through cutter. Cut pasta can be used immediately or frozen or dried for later use. See “Tips for Perfect Pasta” for information on freezing and drying.
NOTE: After you finish using your
Pasta Sheet Roller and Cutter attachments, replace hub cover and tighten attachment knob.

Using Your Pasta Sheet Roller and Cutters
To Use:
1. Prepare pasta dough (see “Tips for Perfect Pasta.”) Cut dough into pieces about 3⁄8
inch
(
1 cm) thick.
Flatten each piece slightly.
2. Set adjustment knob on Pasta Sheet Roller at 1 by pulling the knob straight out and turning to setting
1. Release knob, making certain pin on roller housing engages opening on the back of the knob, allowing the knob to fit flush to the roller housing.
3. Turn mixer to Speed 2 or 4. Feed flattened piece of dough into rollers to knead. Fold dough in half and roll again. Repeat folding and kneading process several times, or until dough is smooth and pliable. Lightly dust pasta with flour while rolling and cutting to aid in drying and separation. Knead and fold each piece of dough in the same manner.

Care and Cleaning
To clean Pasta Sheet Roller and Cutter attachments, let parts air dry for one hour and then remove any dried dough using the Cleaning Brush. If dried dough cannot be removed, try hand-tapping the attachment. A toothpick can be used if necessary. Never use a knife or other sharp object to remove excess dough. Polish with a soft, dry cloth and store attachment pieces in a dry place at room temperature.
NOTE: Never wash or immerse attachments in water or other liquid. Never wash in dishwasher.
NOTE: Do not run a dishtowel or any other cloth through the rollers to clean them. Do not insert objects such as knives, screwdrivers, etc., to clean the unit.
Maintenance
Clean properly after use as described above. We recommend using a light mineral oil to lubricate the gears periodically. Add a drop of mineral oil to each of the far corners of the rollers and/or cutters to lubricate the gears (4 locations). This can be done annually or after 50 uses.
