Machine stops while mixing (MIX)
or extruding (EXT)
If machine stops while mixing or
extruding, hold bin against back
wall until machine does not stop
anymore. You can solve the problem
if stopping occurs in the MIX mode
by stopping the machine, lifting the
lid and removing any pasta dough
stuck under the lid. Close lid on
machine and continue.
Machine won’t start
Be sure it is plugged in, lid is securely
latched and mixing bin is all the way
back against the base.
Delayed starting
You may have a 1-second delay
feature. If you do, your machine
will start after one second. If you
have a manual switch, it will start
immediately.
Cleaning problems
It’s easier to clean the parts after
you let the parts dry in open air for
one hour.
Slow extruding pasta
Dough needs to be the correct con-
sistency. See How to Make Fresh Pasta.
You can always correct your extrud-
ed pasta by putting it back into the
mixing bin and starting over before
it dries out.
Can’t remove locking ring
Switch to MIX for a few seconds.
This will relieve pressure on the
locking ring and die. Use a wrench
to help unscrew the locking ring.
Machine noises
Noise equals power. But loud clunks
are not normal. Stop and be sure
your machine is assembled correct-
ly. Also see the Maintain & Clean Your
Pasta Maker to be sure it is clean.
Friction-Steam from the die
Some hot steam escaping from the
pasta die is normal. Don’t touch dies
when they are hot during and after
extruding.
Electrical problems
If you ever detect smoke, burning
smells, or any electrical problem,
unplug the machine and return it
as instructed in the warranty.
Can’t line up dots on faceplate
If you can’t line up the dots on your
faceplate, this indicates that the
faceplate is not clean and there may
be excess flour buildup. It must be
removed from the locking area, bin
and faceplate. Make sure there’s no
flour in the white screw hole, which
is behind the missing bin (on motor
base).
