Solution
• This may occur because the pasta is not the correct consistency. To
"repair" the dough, close the slider into the 'mixing' position. This will shut
the extruding chamber. Make adjustments to the dough by adding either
flour or water until small "pea size" pieces have formed. Re-open the slider
and continue the extruding process.
• Check to see if pasta has accumulated around the opening of the extrusion
chamber (underneath the slider). If this occurs, close the slider into the
'mixing'/closed position and then reopen the slider to the 'extruding'/open
position. This will clear any accumulated dough at the opening of the
extrusion chamber.
• The pasta dough in the mixing chamber may be too wet and has formed
into pieces that are too large to fall into the extrusion chamber. To "repair"
the dough, ensure the slider is fully closed and in the 'mixing' position.
Switch the appliance off using the on/off switch. Ensure that the mixing
paddle has stopped before placing hands into mixing chamber. Remove
lid. Break the dough up into small pieces and sprinkle it with a little flour,
re-open slider and resume mixing process.
During extrusion, switch the Pasta Emporia 'OFF' using the ON/OFF switch
Ensure the mixing paddle has stopped rotating. Remove the lid and clear any
accumulated dough from the corners of the mixing chamber and the mixing
paddle. Resume mixing.
Switch the Pasta Emporia to the 'OFF' position using the ON/OFF switch.
Fully disassemble the Pasta Emporia and remove all dough from the extrusion
chamber and mixing chamber.
It is likely that the reason for the noise is because the dough has not reached
the correct consistency.
The dough that has been removed from the extrusion chamber can be
returned to the mixing chamber for re-mixing.
Place dough back in the mixing chamber and correct using the steps below.
If dough is too dry, add a little water and re-mix dough for approximately
1 minute before re-opening the slider and continuing to extrude.
If too wet, add a little flour and break the large pieces of dough into smaller
pieces and re-mix for approximately 1 minute.
Then, check mixing chamber - ensure dough consistency is small "pea size"
pieces before continuing to extrude.
