Product Description
MARCATO Made in Italy Atlasmotor 110V Electric Pasta Maker
The MARCATO Atlasmotor 110V Electric Pasta Maker is a compact appliance crafted in Italy with a chrome steel exterior. It is designed to produce fresh pasta at home with a combination of electric power and manual assistance.
Included Components
- Atlas 150 Machine – the main body of the pasta maker, providing the rolling and cutting mechanism.
- Hand Crank – a manual crank that can be used to operate the machine independently of the electric motor.
- Clamp – a clamp that secures the pasta dough between rollers during the rolling process.
- Pastadrive Motor – an electric motor that drives the rollers at a 110V input.
- User Guide – a printed manual that outlines setup, operation, and maintenance steps.
Construction and Materials
The pasta maker features a chrome steel frame that offers durability and a polished appearance. The chrome finish is applied to all exposed steel surfaces, giving the unit a sleek look while providing resistance to corrosion.
Operating Principles
The machine is powered by a 110V electric input, allowing the Pastadrive motor to turn the rollers automatically. When the electric motor is engaged, the hand crank can be used simultaneously to assist the rolling process or to operate the machine if the power source is unavailable.
Assembly Instructions
To assemble the unit, follow these steps:
- Attach the hand crank to the front of the Atlas 150 machine by aligning the crank shaft with the machine’s drive shaft.
- Secure the clamp over the dough portion of the rollers, ensuring a firm grip that holds the dough in place during rolling.
- Connect the Pastadrive motor to the machine’s power inlet and to the crank shaft if operating manually.
- Refer to the user guide for any additional safety checks before first use.
Using the Pasta Maker
Place a measured amount of dough on the rolling surface. Position the dough between the rollers, and then engage the electric motor. The motor turns the rollers, while the clamp keeps the dough centered. If a thicker pasta shape is desired, the hand crank can be used to apply additional pressure, working in tandem with the motor’s speed.
Cleaning and Maintenance
After each use, remove the dough from the rollers and clean the chrome steel surfaces with a damp cloth. The hand crank and clamp should also be wiped clean. Avoid using abrasive materials that could scratch the chrome finish. The user guide provides a recommended cleaning schedule and lists compatible cleaning products.
Storage Guidelines
When not in use, store the pasta maker in a dry, cool location. Keep the hand crank, clamp, and motor separate from the machine until the next preparation session. The user guide advises to keep all components within the supplied packaging to maintain their condition.
Product Summary
This MARCATO pasta maker blends electric convenience with manual control, offering flexibility in pasta preparation. Its chrome steel construction and inclusion of the Atlas 150 machine, hand crank, clamp, Pastadrive motor, and user guide provide a complete set of tools for home pasta enthusiasts.
