5Level the pasta by shaking the container gently. Pour in the water (*) required to cover the pasta com- pletely until it reaches one of the two levels (L1 or L2) on the mixer as shown in the pictures below:
RIGHT:
L2
L1
The pasta is completely covered by the water at the L1 level (min).
L2
L1
The pasta is completely covered by the water at the L2 level (max).
WRONG:
L2
L1
The pasta is not properly covered by the water.
L2
L1
Water level is between L1 and L2 (it must be either L1 or L2 level)
L2
L1
The level of water exceeds the maximum amount of water allowed for the PASTA function (over the L2 level)
•Remember that the level of water must ALWAYS reach either Level L1 or Level L2 and must never be between the two.
IMPORTANT:
•REMEMBER TO PUT IN THE PASTA FIRST AND THEN THE WATER.
•THE PASTA MUST BE COMPLETELY COVERED BY THE WATER OR PASTA EMERGING FROM THE WATER COULD BE OVERCOOKED AND ASSUME A BURNT COLOUR.
Remember that pasta increases considerably in volume during cooking. If level 1 provides only minimal coverage of the pasta (eg. pasta with high volume formats), you are recommended to increase the water to L2.
(*)The water may be either at room temperature (about 20°C) or hot (about 50°C). The hotter the water, the shorter the cooking time.
