When using a self cooking noodle machine (similar to an automatic noodle machine), special attention should be paid to itPreparation for operation, standardized operation, safety protection, cleaning and maintenanceFour major aspects, specific precautions are as follows:

1、 Operation preparation stage

1. Material selection and proportioning
   • Flour should be dry and free of impurities, and high gluten flour should be preferred to enhance the gluten content of the noodles.
   • Mix flour and water strictly according to the instructions (usually 2:1), and adjust the taste by adding eggs, vegetable juice, etc., but reduce the amount of water accordingly. For example, when adding an egg, the amount of water can be reduced to 200 milliliters (based on 500 grams of flour).
   • Prepare measuring cups, mixing spoons, and other tools in advance to ensure accurate weighing.
2. Equipment inspection and debugging
   • Place the noodle machine on a stable tabletop and check if all components (such as rollers, noodle knives, and drive belts) are securely installed without looseness or damage.
   • Clean the debris on the rolling mill and noodle cutter before starting up to avoid residue affecting noodle quality or damaging the equipment.
   • Debug the machine according to the instructions to ensure normal operation before proceeding with the kneading operation.

2、 Operation phase

1. Harmony and Awakening Face
   • Pour flour and water into the dough bucket in proportion, and start the machine to stir until the particles are in a cotton like state (optimal state). If the dough is too dry (in the form of sand particles), a small amount of water can be added; If it is too wet (clumping), dry flour can be added to adjust.
   • After kneading, let the dough stand still (usually 10-15 minutes) to enhance the texture and extensibility of the noodles.
2. Noodle making and adjustment
   • Place the awakened dough into the noodle mold and choose molds of different thicknesses (such as wide, thin, round, etc.) according to your needs.
   • After starting the machine, observe the noodle extrusion status. If the thickness needs to be adjusted, the gap between the rollers can be adjusted step by step through the handle or button (such as gradually adjusting from the thick gear to the thin gear), to avoid directly adjusting to the ultra-thin gear, which may cause machine jamming or breakage.
   • If the noodles break when coming out, stop immediately and tear the dough into small pieces to re press.
3. Speed and stability control
   • Adjust the machine speed according to the hardness of the dough, and the speed of the hard dough can be appropriately reduced to prevent lagging.
   • Maintain a safe distance between hands and dangerous parts such as rollers and knives during operation. It is strictly prohibited to use wooden sticks or other tools to assist in entering the surface to avoid personal injury or equipment damage.

3、 Security protection stage

1. Anti pinch and anti roll in
   • When the machine is running, it is strictly prohibited to put hands into rotating parts such as rollers, gears, chains, etc., to prevent injury or entanglement.
   • When cleaning the surface or adjusting components, the power must be cut off first to ensure that the equipment is completely stopped before operation.
2. Electrical safety
   • Ensure proper power connection and avoid using damaged wires or sockets.
   • When the machine is not in use for a long time, an appropriate amount of edible oil should be applied to the surface of the rolling mill and noodle cutter to prevent rust, and the power should be cut off and stored in a dry place.

4、 Cleaning and maintenance stage

1. Instant cleaning
   • After each use, promptly clean the residues inside and outside the machine (such as flour, dough crumbs) to prevent them from being difficult to remove after hardening.
   • Disassemble washable components such as mixing drums and blades, wipe the surface with a soft cloth, avoid using sharp tools to scrape the rollers, and prevent damage to the equipment.
2. regular maintenance
   • Lubrication maintenanceAdd lubricating oil (such as 20 # mechanical oil or edible oil) to the rotating parts of gears, chains, etc. every shift (for each use), and replace the lubricating grease in the turbine, worm and bearings every six months (using calcium based grease).
   • Drive belt inspectionRegularly check the elasticity and wear of ordinary V-belts, adjust or replace them in a timely manner to avoid slipping or breakage.
   • rust prevention treatmentWhen the machine is not in use for a long time, apply a small amount of edible oil on the surface of the rolling mill to prevent rust, and cover it with a dust cover to protect the equipment.
