CAUTIONS
•Make sure dry and liquid ingredients are completely mixed before switching Popeil’s Pasta/ Sausage Maker to EXT (extrude). Never try to extrude pasta dough which is too dry and floury.
•Always add dry ingredients (flour and seasonings) to mixing bin first; then close lid before slowly adding liquid.
•With some pasta dough, such as chocolate, the round bearing directly behind the kneading screw may squeak. If this happens, you can oil the bearing by coating it with vegetable oil.
•Do not put knife or anything through any opening on lid. They are for adding liquid, flour, or seasonings only.
•After MIX, always switch to OFF and let the motor completely stop before switching to EXT (extrude).
•The motor can produce a flash of light when being switched from MIX to EXT (extrude) or vice versa. This is normal.
•Do not block the vent holes in front of the pasta/ sausage maker. Avoid getting flour or anything in the front vents holes. If flour should get in the vent holes: unplug the machine and tip the Pasta/ Sausage Maker all the way forward until the vent holes are pointing straight down, and gently shake the Pasta/ Sausage Maker up and down over a trash can to remove any flour.
•Use a dampened cloth with a very mild detergent to wash the motor housing of your Pasta/ Sausage Maker; do not submerge base in water.
•Keep your Pasta/ Sausage Maker away from heat sources such as hot stove burners and oven tops when the oven is on.
•Make sure your Pasta/ Sausage Maker is properly and completely assembled before turning it on.
•If it is difficult to remove the front Locking Ring that holds the pasta die or sausage horn, switch the Pasta/Sausage Maker to MIX for a few seconds. Then turn the machine OFF and use the wrench provided to loosen the Locking Ring.
•Noise = Power. This is very powerful machine. Keep all hair, jewelry, clothing, spatulas and foreign articles away from it while in use.
•When turning the machine “OFF”, be sure to wait until the blades have completely stopped before opening the lid.
