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.
