3. Betjeningsvejledning
The Marcato Atlas 180 is designed for ease of use, allowing you to create fresh pasta sheets and cuts efficiently.
3.1. Tilberedning af dej
Ensure your pasta dough is well-kneaded and rested. It should be firm but pliable, not too sticky or too dry. Lightly flour your dough before feeding it into the machine.

3.2. Rolling Pasta Sheets
Use the smooth rollers to flatten your dough. The machine features a 10-position adjuster to control the thickness of your pasta sheets, ranging from 0.5 mm to 4.8 mm. Start with the widest setting (typically '0' or '1') and gradually decrease the thickness, passing the dough through each setting multiple times until desired thinness is achieved.

Figure 3.3: The wide rollers allow for creating XL sheets of dough, up to 180mm wide.
3.3. Skæring af pasta
Once your dough sheet is at the desired thickness, switch to the cutting rollers. The Atlas 180 includes integrated cutters for three classic pasta shapes:
- Lasagne: Use the wide sheet directly for lasagne.
- Fettuccine: Cut into 6.5 mm wide strips.
- Tagliolini: Cut into 1.5 mm wide strips.

Feed the flattened dough sheet through the appropriate cutting rollers. The machine will produce uniform pasta strands, ready for cooking.

This machine is also ideal for processing dough for international recipes such as Oriental Noodles, Dumplings, Arabic Bread, and Pastelitos.

4. Vedligeholdelse
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Marcato Atlas 180.
- Rensning: After each use, wipe the machine with a dry cloth. Do NOT wash the machine with water or put it in a dishwasher, as this can damage the internal mechanisms and rollers.
- Use a small brush or wooden stick to remove any dough residue from the rollers and cutters.
- For optimal performance, occasionally pass a small amount of "sacrificial dough" (dough made without eggs) through the rollers to pick up any residual oil or debris.
5. Fejlfinding
If you encounter issues with your pasta machine, consider the following:
- Dough sticking to rollers: Ensure your dough is not too sticky. Add a little more flour to the dough or lightly dust the rollers.
- Dough tearing or crumbling: Your dough might be too dry or not kneaded enough. Add a small amount of water or knead for a longer period to achieve a smooth, elastic consistency.
- Ujævne pastaplader: Ensure you are feeding the dough evenly into the rollers and gradually decreasing the thickness setting.
