Installation
Install and use the machine in a room that can be efciently ventilated, and where the oor is smooth and
compact and easy to clean.
WARNING: While the machine is operating, 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.
• To ensure the necessary stability of the machine, check that the wheels rest rmly on the oor, otherwise
move the machine slightly until the four wheels have been steadily laid on the ground. Lastly, clamp the
wheel with the brake (Figure 1A).
• Position the machine in the desired place with a free back space of around 50 centimeters and a side
space of 70-80 centimeters (Figure 2) in order to guarantee easy use of the machine and its cleaning.
For machines tted with a trolley:
• Make sure that the brake provided is clamped by pulling the lever down (Figure 1B).
• Check that the voltage of the machine, which is written on the identication label (Figure 3), 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.
WARNING: Have the plug tted to the power supply by qualied personnel. Take the necessary precautions to
prevent the cable from being crimped or damaged.
CUTTING UNIT ASSEMBLY
• Remove the components in the tank.
• Assemble the cutting unit, after removing the socket-head screw (Figure 4A) from the bearing. Then tighten
the screws right down again (Figure 4).
• Plug the unit into the power supply socket (Figure 4B) of the machine; let the safety coupling click in.
CONNECTION TO THE WATER SYSTEM
• For machines supplied with an extrusion sleeve cooling system, connect the machine to the water system
and install the sending tube, (when it is non-existant: use a tap, possibly with screw-control) to the outer
part of the machine, in order to regulate the water ow.
• The exit-ow tube must allow free water discharge. We recommend that the water pressure inside the
machine, does not exceed the 1.0 - 1.5 bar.
• To connect the external parts, use a exible tube with an inside diameter of 13 mm, safely xed by a metal
band with a screw that can be closed with a screw-driver or key (Figure 5).
CONTROL OF THE INSTALLATION
N.B.: Every operation is voluntarily commanded by means of the start button with the tank safety lid
closed by means of the double safety device.
Turn the selector to the knead position (Figure 6A) and check:
• Make sure that the mixer is rotating counter- clockwise, facing the front of the machine, when the switch
(Figure 6A) is placed on the “mix” position , (the Worm screw also turns counter-clockwise). In the
“0” position all of the machine’s elements should be still; in the drawplate position , the mixer turns
clockwise, the Worm screw should turn the same way (check from the lid slits).
7
Installation
• Check the efciency of the double safety device on the lid. The device sets off two micro-switches; one is
controlled by the lid hook (Figure 7A), inside the stop slot; and the other from the lid itself.
To check this, make sure that microswitch in the slot begins to be enabled when the hook has not yet gone
out of the slot itself. The lid microswitch must be heard to click when the lid is lifted approximately 10 - 15
mm. (Figure 7).
• Operation of the buttons and pilot lamps according to the signs given (Figure 6).
• The knife, in its working position, should be turning clockwise.
• The correct connection of the water cooling system should include checking for eventual water leaks.
NOTE: If the machine or some of its parts breakdown, 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, Worm screw, pool, mixer, drawplate and knife) are perfectly clean
(see Maintenance section).
NOTE: Always clean with machine off.
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, thanks to different discs. This action is carried out
thanks to a mixer linked to an Worm screw which obliges the product to assume the desired shape going
through a drawplate.
USE OF THE MACHINE
Only after making sure that the machine is completely clean, especially all the parts which are directly in
contact with the product (extrusion sleeve, Worm screw, pool, mixer, drawplate, knife, lid, control system; if it
is necessary, use some warm water; see Maintenance section) you can carry out the requested operations in
order to have the desired dough.

Operation
1. After having turned the machine off:
• Switch the selector to the “0” position (Figure 20A) and check the correct set-up of the Worm screw,
making sure that the cylinder part is sustained by the dragging shaft.
• Then make sure that the plastic cap (Figure 21A) which replaces the drawplate is correctly positioned
and the ring nut (Figure 21B) is well-screwed on.
• Finally block the mixer in its place, thanks to the head-knob (Figure 21C).
2. Lift the tank lid by turning the coupling lever (Figure 22A) and always put in the pre-established ingredients
in the following sequence: our and then, after closing the cap, all the other liquid elements.
3. In order to obtain the right dough, you need to create the precise ratio between the weight of the our and
the weight of the liquid part; in 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 33% or up to 35% 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
9
Operation
higher than at a minimum level which coincides more or less with the position of the mixer axle.
USEFUL ADVICE IN ORDER TO OBTAIN A GOOD DOUGH
Any kind of our can be used (bran or branour). The dough can be kneaded only with eggs or with a mix of
water and eggs. Water can be partially replaced by spinach or well-cut vegetables in order to obtain green
noodles. Because the our’s humidity changes according to the kind used, the environment and the place
where it is stocked, the quantities indicated have to be adapted to the kind of our which is used, lowering or
increasing the quantity of water. The dough is the right one when, at the end of kneading process, it is as big
as coffee beans. If the lumps form in the our, you have poured in too much liquid.
In this case, before turning the switch (Figure 20A) from knead to drawplate, you will have to add some more
our and knead a little longer. If the our does not form a ball and is too oury, add some more water.
For the dough for the sheet of pasta which is to be re-kneaded, use “00” our and add two eggs per kilo of our
(maximum). With these quantities, you will obtain a very stretchy dough which is easy to knead.
QUANTITIES IN ORDER TO OBTAIN A GOOD DOUGH
• Supposed weight of an egg: 50 grams.
• If you take 1 egg away you need to add 50 grams of water.
• To obtain a good dough: 1 kg of our + 350 grams of humidity-liquid.

• Close the lid and put the selector on position . Press the start button.
• Add the liquid part pouring it gradually but as quickly as possible through the small hole in the lid.
• 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 lid).
• Turn the machine off by switching the selector to “0.”

Operation
INSTALLATION OF THE DRAWPLATE AND START-UP OF PRODUCTION
WARNING: Make sure the machine is switched off.
• Withdraw the lter (Figure 8A) and the drawplate (Figure 8B) requested from 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 (See Maintenance section).
• Dry it with a soft cloth.
• Unscrew the blocking ring nuts (Figure 8C) and carefully clean the internal part including the edging.
• Take the plastic cap off (Figure 8D).
• Set up the lter and the drawplate while taking good care of the Worm screw (Figure 8E) at the center of
the disk.
• Close the metal ring with the help of the wrench supplied (Figure 9A) and check that the various parts are
in place and are not shifted axially because dough has added thickness (Figure 8 - point 1).
• In order to start production, position the selector (Figure 10A) on the position and press the start button
(Figure 10C). The initial product coming out of the machine has an unacceptable appearance; 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 consistency.
• In order to cut the pasta to the desired length, it is necessary to set up the cutting device (Figure 9B), made
up of motor and knife, chosen from those available.
• Set up the unit for this, by simply tting the cutter (Figure 11A) on the drive shaft in the standby position.
Placing the cutting unit opposite the drawplate, taking care that the cutter moves axially towards the motor
and is ts neatly with the drawplate.
• To complete this operation, facilitate the movement of the knife by helping yourself, with your hands,
closing the knife tang between two ngers (Figure 11).
• Regulate the knife speed according to the desired pasta length, by turning the speed control knob
(Figure 10B).
• If the product is quite wet and tends to be sticky, it is best to dry the surface in any case, by switching on
the fan (Figure 10D).
• The product may be collected on the frame supplied (Figure 12A), leaning on retractable rods (Figure 12B)
supplied with the machine.
For machines tted with an extrusion sleeve cooling unit:
• Switch on the system taking account of a few operating parameters of the dough and room temperature.
• At any rate, with average dough, after 3 - 5 minutes, check the external temperature of the ring nut and if it
seems too high, gradually open the regulating valve. Frequently check the temperature and regulate water
ow, tending to keep temperature constant.
NOTE: If the product is kneaded at an excessive temperature, it tends to change colour and/or blanch slightly.
VARIANT FOR MODEL PM-IT-0040
The model PM-IT-0040 uses the second tank (Figure 14B) to enable dough to be kneaded (press button
A - Figure 13) simultaneously with the worm screw extrusion stage. This allows output to be increased
considerably. Knead the dough as seen for the main tank and then pour it in by turning the tank by means of
the device provided (button B - Figure 13).
