Using this Imperia 61000 pasta machine is easy. First, prepare your pasta dough and let it rest. Then, turn the easy - lock adjustment dial to the desired thickness. Start by running the dough through the widest setting a few times to get it smooth. Gradually reduce the width setting until you reach the thickness you want. For cutting noodles, use the double cutter head. When you're done, unplug the machine if it's near an outlet. Clean the machine right away with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they can damage the steel surface. Store the machine in a dry place to prevent rust. With proper care, this pasta machine will serve you well for many years.
