SAFETY INFORMATION

Accessories for pasta extrusion for Philips Pasta Maker Avance, Viva, and professional machines

General Information:

Shapes fresh pasta using durable POM (polyoxymethylene) plastic or bronze
POM is safe for food contact if produced and processed correctly, in compliance with European regulations. It ensures that the taste, texture, and safety of food are not altered, making it ideal for pasta extrusion
Bronze is a metallic alloy primarily composed of copper and tin. In the food industry, bronze suitable for food contact is used in accordance with European regulations. It is processed to prevent the release of harmful substances. Bronze is resistant and durable and is valued for giving pasta a rough surface, which helps sauces adhere better and gives the final product an artisanal texture

Safety Recommendations:

Keep out of reach of children
Do not modify components or use with incompatible machines
Check for any damage before use
Avoid forcing components; align properly during assembly
Do not use abrasive sponges or caustic, acidic, or other harsh cleaning agents such as alcohol, gasoline, or propanol
