Care and Cleaning

To clean Pasta Sheet Roller and Cutter attachments, let parts air dry for one hour and then remove any dried dough using the Cleaning Brush. If dried dough cannot be removed, try hand-tapping the attachment. A toothpick can be used if necessary. Never use a knife or other sharp object to remove excess dough. Polish with a soft, dry cloth and store attachment pieces in a dry place at room temperature.

NOTE: Never wash or immerse attachments in water or other liquid. Never wash in dishwasher.

NOTE: Do not run a dishtowel or any other cloth through the rollers to clean them. Do not insert objects such as knives, screwdrivers, etc., to clean the unit.
