The Ohmex Pasta Maker PAS 2200 is a versatile appliance designed for domestic use, allowing users to easily prepare fresh pasta and biscuits. It features a compact design with a transparent mixing container, enabling users to monitor the kneading and extrusion process.
Function Description:
The pasta maker operates with a simple two-mode switch: "MIX" for mixing/kneading and "EXT" for extrusion. Users first add dry ingredients like flour and herbs to the mixing container, then liquids such as water, vegetable juice, or an egg-water mixture are slowly added through a designated slot in the lid while the machine is in "MIX" mode. The kneading process typically takes 5-10 minutes, after which the dough is allowed to rest for about 30 minutes. Once rested, the machine is switched to "EXT" mode to extrude the pasta through the chosen attachment. The extruded pasta can then be cut to the desired length and either cooked immediately, dried for 1-2 hours for refrigeration (up to 1-2 days), or frozen (up to 6 months). The device includes a safety interlock system, preventing operation unless the mixing container lid is correctly positioned and locked.

Usage Features:
- Easy Assembly: The manual provides clear, step-by-step instructions for assembling the mixing container, dough screw conveyor, kneading spiral, connecting piece, and pasta attachments.
- Ingredient Addition: Dry ingredients are added first, followed by liquids poured slowly through a specific slot in the lid during mixing.
- Dough Consistency: Tips are provided for achieving optimal dough consistency, including adding more liquid if the dough is too dry (powdery) or more flour if it's too wet (large lumps sticking to the spiral).
- Resting Time: A 30-minute resting period for the dough is recommended before extrusion.
- Extrusion Process: The machine extrudes pasta evenly, and users are advised to support the emerging pasta without pulling or squeezing it, then cut it to the desired length.
- Overheating Prevention: The appliance should not be operated continuously for more than 15 minutes to prevent overheating. Breaks are recommended for successive or long-duration preparations.
- Safety Interlock: A safety switch ensures the machine only operates when the lid is correctly closed and locked, preventing accidental activation.

- Recipe Guidance: A basic recipe for pasta dough is included, detailing ingredient quantities (400g flour, 4 eggs, 1 tsp salt, 1-2 tsp oil) and preparation steps.
- Flavor and Color Enhancement: Suggestions include using vegetable juices (spinach, carrots, tomatoes) for color and flavor, and a little olive oil to improve dough flow through attachments.
- Drying and Storage: Fresh pasta can be dried on a floured surface for 1-2 hours before refrigerating or freezing to prevent sticking.
Maintenance Features:
