After having turned the machine off:
• switch the selector to the "0" position (Fig.

other liquid elements.
In order to obtain the right dough, you need
to create the precise ratio between the wei-
ght of the flour and the weight of the liquid
part; in order to obtain a very good product,
the flour has to contain a humidity percenta-
ge of no more than 15%; this allows the
addition of water equal to 33% or up to 35%
of the flour's weight. If you are using flours
with different humidity contents, please
change the quantity of the liquid in the oppo-
site ratio. Moreover, in order to better use
the machine, the product inside the pool has
to be higher than at a minimum level which
coincides more or less with the position of
the mixer axle.

3.1 USEFUL ADVICE IN ORDER TO OBTAIN A GOOD DOUGH

Any kind of flour can be used (bran or bran-
flour). 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 flour's humidity chan-
ges according to the kind used, the environ-
ment and the place where it is stocked, the
quantities indicated have to be adapted to
the kind of flour 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 flour you have pou-

In this case, before turning the switch

you will have to add some more flour and
knead a little longer. If the flour does not
form a ball and is too floury, add some more
water.
For the dough for the sheet of pasta which is
to be re-kneaded, use "00" flour and add two
eggs per kilo of flour (maximum). With these
quantities you will obtain a very stretchy
dough which is easy to knead.
