How do I adjust the roller width of my pasta maker as it seems to be 'locked' @ #6
If the roller width of your pasta maker seems to be locked at a specific setting, like #6, and you're unable to adjust it, here are some steps you can try to troubleshoot and potentially fix the issue:
- Inspect for Obstructions: Check for any debris, pasta dough residue, or foreign objects that might be blocking the mechanism responsible for adjusting the roller width. Clean the machine thoroughly and remove any obstacles that could be causing the locking.
- Lubrication: Sometimes, the adjustment mechanism can become stiff due to lack of lubrication. Apply a small amount of food-grade lubricant or vegetable oil to the moving parts and joints, and work the adjustment knob back and forth to help loosen it up.
- Gently Apply Pressure: While the machine is off and unplugged, try gently applying pressure to the adjustment knob while attempting to turn it. This might help release any stuck parts or overcome resistance.
- Wiggle and Jiggle: Gently wiggle and jiggle the adjustment knob while attempting to turn it. Sometimes, this slight movement can dislodge any stuck components and allow for proper adjustment.
- Use a Tool: If the knob is particularly stubborn, you can use a pair of pliers or a wrench (wrapped in a cloth to prevent scratching) to help turn the knob while applying gentle pressure. Be cautious not to apply too much force to avoid damaging the machine.
- Consult the Manual: If you still have the manual that came with the pasta maker, refer to it for troubleshooting tips specific to your model. There might be manufacturer-recommended solutions for this issue.
- Contact Customer Support: If none of the above steps work, it might be best to contact the manufacturer's customer support or service center for assistance. They can provide you with more detailed guidance or arrange for repairs if necessary.
Remember, always exercise caution when working with kitchen appliances, and avoid using excessive force that could potentially damage the machine further. If you're not comfortable attempting these steps yourself, it's better to seek professional assistance to avoid causing further damage to your pasta maker.
Bunn Ultra 2 slushee machine not freezing
Hmm, that's definitely a problem! From what I understand, the Bunn Ultra-2 slushy machine is supposed to freeze evenly on both sides. So if it's only freezing on one side, there could be a few different things going on. It could be an issue with the refrigerant level, the solenoid, or the optical sensors. Can you tell me a bit more about the symptoms of the problem? For example, is the side that's not freezing completely warm, or is it just not getting as cold as the other side?
Wolfgang Puck Griddle adjustable power cord
No, when you connect the power the element will explode!
You could use a step down transformer, but for the amps it draws (1,800 watts) that the griddle uses, it would be the size of your carry-on case.
Sell it, give it way, put it in storage and buy new at Argos or Curry's. When I move from the UK to Canada in 2005, I had to get rid of everything that had a plug on it apart from items with dual voltage transformers like my shaver and camera chargers.
