Good day. This model here is the CLS (Classic). It comes with a simple instruction manual and a handle made of ABS and the wing nut on the attachment hook is also made of ABS. The more expensive model is the Design version, which also has a recipe book, an aluminium handle and an aluminium wing nut. The accessories are compatible with both devices.

No. Pasta dough is always made without salt. Salt would attract moisture and make the pasta dough sticky. That's why salt is added to the pasta cooking water.

You can get started straight away with the Marcato Atlas 150 Classic Pasta Machine, but you may need additional attachments for specific pasta shapes such as linguine or tagliatelle. - The appliance comes with attachments for lasagna, fettuccine and tagliolini as standard. - For other pasta shapes such as linguine or tagliatelle, you can purchase separate pasta cutting attachments that are compatible with the Atlas 150.

Yes the pasta machine is completely made of chrome steel
