Note:
• Make sure all the parts are well assembled before plugging in.
(1) Pull the lid to unlock it and then (2) remove the lid from the mixing chamber.
Scoop one full cup of flour using the flour cup. Scrape off any excessive flour from the cup edge with the supplied flat cleaning tool. One full cup of flour weighs around 200 grams, and is equivalent to 1-2 servings..Note:
• Do not shake or hit the flour cup to remove excessive flour. This will affect the flour weight.
• Use a kitchen scale to measure the weight more accurately.
Pour the flour into the chamber. If you want to make 2-3 servings, add a second cup of flour as you will need 2 cups (~400g) of flour in total.Note:
• Do not put less than 200g or more than 400g of flour in the chamber. If you put too little or too much flour in the chamber, the appliance will not operate.
• Do not pour the flour into the opening of the squeezing tube, otherwise the flour in the squeezing tube will not be mixed evenly.
Attach the lid onto the mixing chamber.
Note:
• The appliance will not start working if the chamber lid is not properly closed. During the pasta making process, if the chamber lid becomes loose, the appliance will automatically stop working.
Refer to the section “Water and flour ratio” and measure the required amount of water or egg mixture with the supplied water cup.
Note:
• Do not pour water into the mixing chamber before the pasta maker starts running.
• Make sure to measure the liquid volume at eye level on a flat surface.

There are 2 sets of water markings on the supplied water cup.

Side A with two liquid levels is only designed for normal pasta (all-purpose flour mixed with egg mixture), which is the most popular pasta.

200 g (1 supplied cup) all-purpose flour + 80 ml egg mixture (including 1 egg).
400 g (2 supplied cups) all-purpose flour + 160 ml egg mixture (including 2 eggs).

Side B with specific volumes is for other pasta.

All-purpose flour mixed with pure water/ veggie juice mixture.
Various other flours (as specified in the table below) with egg mixture/ pure water/ veggie juice mixture, etc.

Check the following table for detailed water and flour ratio.

Water and flour ratio

Note:

This table provides the flour-liquid ratio base on 200 g of flour. When using 400 g of flour to make pasta, double the liquid volume (including egg) to get the right flour-liquid ratio.

Flour	Liquid	Liquid volume	Side A/B
All-purpose flour 200g	Egg mixture(including 1 egg)	80 ml	A
	Pure water	70 ml	B
	Spinach juice	75 ml	B
	Spinach juice+egg mixture (including 1 egg)	75 ml	B
	Beet juice	75 ml	B
	Beet juice+egg mixture (including 1 egg)	80 ml	B

Important

The flour cup included with the pasta maker is not a standard 8 oz. measuring cup and should not be used as such.
The pasta recipes provided in the recipe book have been tested for success. If you experiment with or use other pasta recipes, the flour and water/egg ratios will need to be adjusted to the flour and water cup ratios included with the pasta maker. The pasta maker will not operate successfully without adjusting the new recipe accordingly

Note:

To ensure the quality of the pasta, use gluten flour to make pasta; add the recommended liquid proportion.
Seasonal changes and using ingredients from different regions may affect the flour/water ratio.
When making egg pastas or vegetable pastas follow these steps:
• Measure the egg and liquid to the recommended level.
• Whisk the mixture evenly before pouring it into the chamber through the slot in the lid.
See the recipe book provided for more delicious pasta ideas.
When making the egg mixture, crack the egg into the water cup. Add water up to the required amount, and then whisk the water and egg to combine.
When making the vegetable mixture, crack the egg into the water cup. Add vegetable juice up to the required amount, and then whisk the juice and egg to combine.
“Gluten” is a binder which makes pasta not break as easily. Gluten-free flour contains no such binder, so it needs a thickener to act as the “binder”, such as Xanthan gum, Guar, etc. Various kinds of gluten-free flour perform differently when making pasta. Some flours are not suitable to make pasta such as coconut flour and white rice flour; some work favorably, such as quinoa, buckwheat, etc.

Starting the pasta making program

Important

Do not select the extra extrusion program before the dough mixing is complete. Otherwise, this will damage the pasta maker and its lifetime.
Do not disconnect the power cord before the processing is complete. If you have to stop the pasta making process, turn the control knob to “OFF” to stop the working process and then disconnect the power cord from outlet before performing other operations.
To better protect the lifetime of the appliance, do not use the appliance continuously for more than 40 minutes. You can restart using the appliance after a 30-minute rest.
If you intend to use the appliance continuously, clean each shaping disc with the supplied cleaning tool each time after the pasta making session. For easy cleaning, do not soak the shaping disc directly in water.

Turn the control knob to (1) select the automatic pasta making process, and then (2) press the Start/Pause button.
After the kneading starts, slowly pour in the liquid along the entire length of the slot in the lid.
Note:
• During dough mixing, do not add other ingredients after you have poured in the liquid. Otherwise, it will affect the results of the pasta texture.
After the pasta maker finishes kneading, it will beep a few times and the pasta extrusion will start after a few seconds. Place a container right under the outlet. Cut the pasta into the desired length with the cleaning tool.
Note:
• If the ratio of liquid and flour is not correct, the extrusion will not succeed. In this case, prepare the ingredients again.
• Move the cleaning tool downwards to cut the pasta.
When the extrusion process is complete, the appliance will beep a few times.
Note:
• Do not turn the control knob to the “OFF” position before the whole process is over (you will hear the “beep” sound).
• The whole working process (including kneading and extruding) takes around 18 minutes for 400g of flour.
After the pasta making is complete, if you notice some leftover dough inside the chamber, you can (1) turn the control knob to the OFF position first, and then (2) turn the control knob to the extra-extrusion position. (3) Press the Start/Pause button to start the extra-extrusion program.
Note:
• You may find some fine pasta threads on the pasta surface. This is normal.
• The cooking time of the pasta varies depending on personal preferences, pasta shapes, and number of servings.
