REPLACING THE DIE PLATE
Switch off the motor and disconnect the plug from the socket. Unscrew the ring nut
(11) by rotating it in counterclockwise direction. Extract the die plate (9) and replace
it with a new one.
Lock the unit by screwing the ring nut
(11) in clockwise direction. Before putting
away the replaced die plate, clean it and remove dough residuals (if any) from the
holes.
DISASSEMBLYING AND CLEANING THE PRESS
After every drawing operation disassemble the press and clean all its parts carefully.
Switch off the motor and disconnect the plug from the socket. Unscrew the two stop
nuts securing the press to the geared motor cover (6) and remove it. Remove the
reduction gear (12) (only for model N.5).
Unscrew the ring nut (11) by rotating it in counterclockwise direction.Extract the die
plate (9) and the screw (8) from the front of the casing (7). Wash, clean and dry all
parts carefully.
ASSEMBLYING THE PRESS
Switch off the motor and disconnect the plug from the socket. Introduce the screw
(8) into the casing (7), making sure that its square part goes out of the rear hole of
the casing. Insert the reduction gear (12) into the square part of the screw (8) (only
in model N.5).Insert the die plate (9) so that the larger base goes into the casing (7)
mouth. Screw the ring nut (11) on the casing (7) mouth by rotating it in clockwise di-
rection as long as it is locked.Couple the press to the geared motor having the screw
square part inserted in the square seat of the geared motor. Tighten the stop nuts.
WARNINGS
- Before carrying out assembly, disassembly, die plate replacement and cleaning
operations, switch off the motor and disconnect the cable with plug, to avoid risks
of electric shock.
- Do not press the dough into the unit with your hands; use the specially-supplied
pestle.
- After every use disassemble, wash and dry all press parts carefully.
- Clean the die plates by putting them in a warm water bath immediately after use.
- Before use, warm the die plates in warm water (cold die plates produce irregularly-
shaped pasta)
- The pasta obtained can show a darker or lighter colour, according to the amount of
pressure applied when coming out of the unit. When pressure is lower, lighter pasta
will be produced (this happens, for example, when the dough is introduced into the
press too slowly compared with the capacity of the unit). This does not alter pasta
quality and features.
- In case of blockage of the press, disconnect the plug cable from the socket imme-
diatly to avoid risks of damage the machine.
- Close supervision is required when this product is used near children.
