Installation
Install and use the machine in a room that can be efciently ventilated, and where the oor is smooth, compact
and easy to clean.
In order to give the necessary stability to the machine:
• Check that the footers (Fig. 8A) are securely attached to the oor; otherwise, turn them to avoid instability.
• Position the machine in the desired place with a free back space of around 50 centimeters and a side
6

space of 70-80 centimeters in order to guarantee easy use of the machine and its cleaning (Fig. 9).
• Please check that the voltage of the machine which is written on the identication label, matches the one
foreseen by the system on your premises.
• Attach the right plug to the machine power cable in order to make the electrical connection to the system.
• After mating the plug to the mains socket, the machine is ready for use. First, however, check out proper
operation of all moving parts and components of the machine.
WARNING: During the machine’s operation, in order to obtain a product with the right thickness and humidity,
avoid air currents which will cause precocious drying of the product together with its deterioration.
INSTALLATION OF THE DRAWPLATE AND START-UP OF PRODUCTION
Before performing the installation an dproduction, make sure the machine is switched off.
• Withdraw the drawplate (Fig. 5A) requested by the container lled with water where it was put after its last
use.
• Thoroughly rinse with plenty of running warm water in order to have the piece at the right temperature.
Dry it with a soft cloth.
• Unscrew the blocking ring nuts (Fig. 5B and 6A) and carefully clean the internal part including the edging.
• Take the plastic cap off (Fig. 5C and 6B).
• Disassemble the drawplate (Fig. 7A).
• Screw in the ring nuts by hand and verify that all the pieces are in their places and that they are aligned
along the axle.
• In order to start production, position the selector on the position (Fig. 3D) and push the start button (Fig.
3B).
• The initial product coming out of the machine has an unacceptable look; this is the reason why it has to be
eliminated.
• After a short time (a couple of minutes) the product coming out is acceptable, the colour goes from whitish
to yellow and it has a greater thickness. The cut of the pasta at the desired length can be made by hand or
by knife. In the rst case it is usually long length noodles (spaghetti or tagliatelle) and in the second case is
especially short noodles (macaroni, etc.).
At the end of the operation:
• Stop the machine by switching the selector to the “0” position (Fig. 3C) and then turn it on the kneading
position (Fig. 3A) for 10-15 seconds so that the pressure on the drawplate, caused by the product itself,
is eliminated.
• Switch the selector to “0” (Fig. 3C) or push the Stop button (Fig. 3E).
• Disassemble and wash the moving pieces and clean the machine.
CONTROL OF THE INSTALLATION
Verify that:
• In the “0” position (Fig. 3C), all the elements of the machine have to stop.
• In the “drawplate position” (Fig. 3D), the mixer rotates in a counterclockwise direction and the Archimedean
screw must rotate in the opposite direction.
• In the “knead” position (Fig. 3A), the parts must rotate in the opposite direction.
NOTE: Every drive is voluntarily run by the start button, when the bowl cover is closed (Fig. 10F).

Installation
WARNING: If the machine or some of its parts fail, call your local authorised dealer or concessionaire for
repairs.
Operation
PREPARING THE MACHINE
Prepare the machine before every process cycle. Be sure that the machine, especially parts which come in
contact with food products (extrusion sleeve, Archimedean screw, pool, mixer and drawplate) are perfectly
clean.
OPERATING PRINCIPLE
This machine kneads the different products desired and enables you to obtain different kinds of noodles with
a different group of lengths because it draws the dough. This action is carried out to a mixer linked to an
Archimedean screw which obliges the product to assume the desired shape going through a drawplate.
USE OF THE MACHINE
After having turned the machine off:
• Position the selector on “0” (Fig. 2C) and verify the correct set-up of the Archimedean screw (Fig. 1A)
making sure that the cylinder part is sustained by the dragging shaft.
• Make sure that the plastic cap (Fig. 1B), which replaces the drawplate, is correctly positioned and the ring
nut (Fig. 1C) is tightly well-screwed on.
• Lastly lock the mixer (Fig. 1D) tightly in its seat by means of the head-knob (Fig. 1E).
• Pull up the pool cover (Fig. 4A) and always put in the pre-established ingredients in the following sequence:
our and then, after closing the cap, all the other liquid elements.
In order to obtain the right dough, you need to create the right ratio between the weight of the our and the
weight of the liquid part. Iin order to obtain a very good product, the our has to contain a humidity percentage
of no more than 15%; this allows the addition of water equal to 35% or up to 38% of the our’s weight. If you
are using ours with different humidity contents, please change the quantity of the liquid in the opposite ratio.
Moreover, in order to better use the machine, the product inside the pool has to be higher than at a minimum
level which coincides more or less with the position of the mixer axle.

Operation
QUANTITIES IN ORDER TO OBTAIN GOOD DOUGH
Pour the desired quantity of our into the pool; it needs 7 eggs per kilo of our:
Flour kg. Number of Eggs Grams of Pasta Product
0.5 3 650
1 7 1.350
1, 2* 9 1.650
* This is the maximum capacity of the pool.
• Supposed weight of an egg: 50 grams.
• If you take 1 egg away you need to add 50 grams of water. Now shut the cover and put the selector in the
kneading position (Fig. 3A).
• Push the start button (Fig. 3B).
• Add the liquid part pouring it slowly, but quickly through the small hole in the cover.
• At the end of the kneading operation, which should take around 10 minutes, make sure the product has the
right thickness and should look like coffee beans (check through the small holes of the cover).
• Turn the machine off by switching the selector to “0” (Fig. 3C), or push the Stop button (Fig. 3E).
Maintenance
You have to properly clean all the elements which are in contact with the product; protection cover, pool, mixer,
Archimedean screw, drawplate, ring nut, when the product is still soft.
The moving parts have to be disassembled as follows:
• Mixer
• Make sure the external shovel is in the upper vertical position (Fig. 11A) (only this position allows the
disassembling of the piece).
• Remove the mixer, pull out the knob (Fig. 11B) until the mixer disengages.
• Take the square shaft away from its place (Fig. 11C) and at the same time turn the external end
upwards. If you want to assemble the piece follow these instructions vice versa. Line the central point
of the shaft with the peg of the moving support; then, leave the handle.
• Ring nut (Fig. 11D) and drawplate (Fig. 11E)
• Unscrew the ring nut by hand, avoiding pieces falling when the ring nut comes out of its place, in order
to avoid causing damage both to people or to the pieces themselves.
• Archimedean Screw (Fig. 11F)
• After disassembling the ring nut and the drawplate, the Archimedean screw can easily be taken off from
the machine by pushing its spiral from the internal end.

Maintenance
WARNING: For healthy and hygienic processing of nutritional products, be sure to keep your machine and the
surrounding environment clean.
DANGER: Always cut off power supply before cleaning.
COVER AND POOL CLEANING
Eliminate the dough residue and make sure to thoroughly clean the most remote-access pieces: connections
of the Archimedean screw and mixer movements (Fig. 12), extrusion sleeve, cover and pool internal parts.
Use some warm water in order to eliminate the residual product and then rinse; dry the surfaces with the help
of blotting paper. To clean machine internal and external parts:
• Remove power supply plug from power mains socket.
• Clean coated surfaces with soft cloth and disinfect with alcohol.
• To clean internal parts of machine:
• Turn the machine and lay it down on a side.
• Clean the internal parts with the help of a soft cloth and blow with a compressed air jet.
WARNING: Never use non-nutritional, abrasive or corrosive chemicals to clean. Also never use coarse or
abrasive objects such as steel wool, abrasive sponges and so on. DO NOT clean the tank lid with alcohol or
other solvents.
CLEANING OF THE ARCHIMEDEAN SCREW, MIXER, RING NUT AND DRAWPLATE
• Eliminate the dough residue and wash the pieces with water; you may use a soft brush or a plastic eggslice.
• These elements can be thoroughly washed in a dishwasher. Rinse and dry the mixer, the Archimedean
screw and the ring nut and reassemble them on the machine.
• The drawplate (Fig. 5A) is to stay in a container with water when it is not in use.
• For reasons of hygiene, please change the water every day.
MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT
The points of the machine which need a certain maintenance are the following: the transmission gears, the
dragging belt and the mixer external support. Please carry out the rst maintenance after the rst 100 hours
and thereafter every 500 hours.
• Mixer support: Use registered fats for foods (USDA-H1) (in case of requirement contact your local dealer).
• Drive gears and chain: please use mineral grease SAE MR3.
BELT STRETCHING
When performing the above mentioned maintenance or when the machine is not working properly, (loss of
rounds) verify the correct stretching of the transmission belt (Fig. 13A). Put the machine on one side and make
sure that the belt is sufciently stretched. If necessary, unscrew the blocking motor screws (Fig. 13B) and push
it downwards and stretch the belt without exaggerating; then re-block the screws.
