What You Will Need
To effectively clean your Imperia pasta machine, gather the following items:
- Dry brush or toothbrush
- Soft cloth or sponge
- Mild dish soap or detergent
- Warm water
- Towel or drying rack
Step 1: Disassemble the Machine
Begin by disassembling your Imperia pasta machine. Carefully remove all the parts, such as the cutter and rollers. This will allow you to clean each component thoroughly without missing any hidden residue.
Step 2: Remove Loose Debris
Next, use a dry brush or toothbrush to remove any loose debris, such as dried pasta dough or flour. Pay close attention to the nooks and crannies where dough can accumulate over time. Gently brush away the debris, taking care not to scratch the machine’s surface.
Step 3: Wash with Warm Soapy Water
Fill a sink or a basin with warm water and add a small amount of mild dish soap or detergent. Place the removable parts in the soapy water and let them soak for a few minutes. After soaking, use a soft cloth or sponge to gently scrub away any remaining residue. Rinse the parts thoroughly with clean water to remove any soap residue.
Step 4: Dry the Parts
Once you have washed the parts, carefully dry them using a towel or a drying rack. Wipe away any excess moisture to prevent rusting or damage. Ensure that each component is completely dry before reassembling the machine.
Step 5: Clean the Machine Body
Using a soft cloth or sponge, dampen it with warm soapy water and gently clean the body of your Imperia pasta machine. Pay attention to any areas where residue or debris may have built up. Wipe away any remaining soapy residue with a clean damp cloth and dry the body thoroughly.
Step 6: Reassemble the Machine
Once all the parts and the machine body are fully dry, reassemble the Imperia pasta machine. Ensure that each component fits securely into place and that everything is aligned correctly.
