ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS 1. Insert the feed screw, metal end first, into the front end of the pasta extruder body. Rotate until the plastic X on the feed screw lines up with the X-shaped groove inside the pasta extruder body. 2. Fit one of the pasta plates on top of the feed screw. Make sure that the notches on the four sides of the pasta plate slide securely onto the four grooves on the front end of the body. 3. Fit the ring nut over the pasta plate and turn it clockwise until it is secured to the body. 4. Attach the pasta cutter by sliding it over the ring nut and aligning the two notches on the side of the cutter with the two grooves on the pasta extruder body. Push in firmly, and while pushing firmly, turn the cutter clockwise to secure. It should move freely around the pasta plate and extruder body. 5. To switch the pasta plate, first remove the pasta cutter, then the ring nut and current pasta plate, then follow assembly instructions 2 to 4 with the new pasta plate. Make sure there is no pasta dough obstructing the round groove located in the center of the feed screw. ATTACHING TO STAND MIXER 1. Make sure Stand Mixer is OFF. 2. Gently pull outlet cover off front of mixer head to remove. 3. Turn the Stand Mixer attachment knob counterclockwise until outlet opening is unobstructed. 4. Insert the assembled extruder attachment into the outlet opening, lining up the square metal hub on the extruder with the square indentation in the outlet opening. 5. Turn the Stand Mixer attachment knob clockwise to secure to mixer. OPERATION 1. Prepare pasta dough as directed by recipe, letting it rest in the refrigerator until it is ready to be extruded. 2. Cut dough into 1-inch pieces. Cover with plastic wrap or a damp paper towel so it doesn't dry out. 5
