2. Opsætning

Before first use, ensure all packaging materials are removed and the machine is clean. The pasta machine is designed for easy assembly and secure placement.

2.1 Attaching the Electric Motor

The electric motor attachment is designed to seamlessly integrate with your Atlas pasta machine. Locate the opening on the side of the pasta machine where the manual crank is typically inserted. Align the motor's drive shaft with this opening and gently push until it clicks securely into place. The motor features an ON/OFF/PULSE switch for controlled operation.

2.2 Securing the Pasta Machine

3. Betjeningsvejledning

Follow these steps to prepare and cut your fresh pasta:

3.1 Dough Preparation

Ensure your pasta dough is firm and not sticky. Sticky dough can adhere to the rollers and cutters, making operation difficult and cleaning more challenging. If the dough is too sticky, add a small amount of flour and knead until it reaches the desired consistency.

3.2 Rolling Dough Sheets

1. Set the adjustable dial on the side of the machine to the thickest setting (e.g., '0' or '1').
2. Turn on the electric motor.
3. Feed a small, flattened piece of dough through the rollers.
4. Fold the dough in half and repeat the feeding process several times on the same thickest setting until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.
5. Gradually decrease the thickness setting, one step at a time, feeding the dough through the rollers after each adjustment until you reach your desired pasta sheet thickness.

3.3 Cutting Pasta

Once your dough sheets are rolled to the desired thickness, you can proceed to cut them into various pasta shapes:

1. Ensure the motor is still running.
2. Carefully feed the pasta sheet into the appropriate cutting rollers (e.g., for spaghetti or fettuccine).
3. As the pasta emerges, gently catch it to prevent tangling.
4. For best results and to prevent sticking, lightly dust the cut pasta with flour immediately after cutting.

4. Vedligeholdelse

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your MARCATO Atlas Pasta Machine. The machine is constructed from nickel-plated and chrome-plated steel for durability.

4.1 Rengøring

• DO NOT wash the machine with water or place it in a dishwasher. Maskinen tåler ikke opvaskemaskine.
• After each use, allow any residual dough to dry on the rollers and cutters.
• Use a dry cloth or a soft brush to carefully remove any dried dough or flour from the machine's surfaces and internal components.
• For stubborn residue, a small wooden skewer or toothpick can be used to gently dislodge particles from the cutters.

5. Fejlfinding

Her er nogle almindelige problemer og deres løsninger:

• Dej der klæber til udstikkere/ruller: This usually indicates the dough is too wet. Add a small amount of flour to the dough and knead it until it is less sticky and more firm. Alternatively, allow the dough to air dry for a few minutes before processing.
• Motor Labors or Stops: If the motor struggles, especially on thicker settings, ensure your dough is adequately kneaded and flattened before feeding it into the machine. Always start rolling with the thickest setting and gradually decrease the thickness. Avoid forcing large or overly thick pieces of dough through the rollers.
• Strømledningsforbindelse: Exercise caution when connecting the power cord. Ensure it is securely and correctly inserted into both the motor and the wall socket. Avoid getting the motor or power cord wet.
• Geared Spindles Not Rotating: If the internal geared spindles cease to rotate, this may indicate a mechanical issue. Discontinue use and contact MARCATO customer support for assistance.
