WARNING : in case the basket for spaghetti (optional) is used, the product’s discharge hopper has to be
removed to avoid interferences.
Check that the switch of the electrical plant, to which the machine is connected, is ON.
Switch on the machine using the luminous general switch placed over the keyboard.
Press the "ON-OFF" button on the keyboard; the pilot lamp "WAIT" will light up indicating that the machine is heating
up.
The water temperature is shown on the display.
On reaching 40°C the steam extractor starts automatically and the machine carries out a reset cycle so that the
baskets are correctly replaced in waiting position.
During this operation the temperature reading is suspended and the display shows a constant value which is rapidly
updated at the end of the cycle.
To turn off the machine in everyday use press the "ON-OFF" button on the keyboard. Use the master switch only
when carrying out cleaning or maintenance operations.
In this way the vapour extractor continues to work until the water reaches a low temperature.
When the machine is ready for use the "READY" pilot lamp on the keyboard lights up.
3) PREPARATION TIMES FOR THE PASTA PORTIONS
Portion preparation times, which are normally preset when the machine is set up, are:
LEFT BASKET:
-yellow button 1: 60 seconds (programme 01)
-yellow button 2: 90 seconds (programme 02)
-yellow button 3: 180 seconds (programme 03)
-yellow button 4: 360 seconds (programme 04)
RIGHT BASKET:
-white button 1: 60 seconds (programme 05)
-white button 2: 90 seconds (programme 06)
-white button 3: 180 seconds (programme 07)
-white button 4: 360 seconds (programme 08)
Times are programmable by pressing the "Time Set" button on the keyboard with which is possible to enter or exit
from the "programme mode" (see instructions in the Technical Manual).
During the working phase, decreasing heating times are indicated on the right display for the right basket and on the
left for the left basket.
Once the product has been off-loaded the displays once more indicate the water temperature.
The preset times on the buttons can be noted on the corresponding grid on the keyboard using an indelible pen.
4) LOADING AND PREPARING THE PRODUCT
The product must be loaded when the basket is at rest, after ensuring that the "WAIT" light is out.
Open the transparent hatch and place the portion in the basket.
Select the heating time by pressing the corresponding button (white for the right basket and yellow for the left
basket).
Place a dish or bowl under the discharge hopper of the appropriate tray or bowl to collect the prepared portion.
During the operation the basket will be lifted out and re-emerged a few times to help separate pasta pieces which
have stuck together.
NOTE: These movements are programmable for recurrence frequency or can be eliminated by a technician.
After the time of cook has elapsed, the basket lifts, drains the pasta and offloads it.
The machine can be programmed so that the baskets remain in draining position once cooking has been completed.
In this case to serve the product press one switch.
If the wrong time of cook is selected it can be cancelled by pressing the correct button, or the cycle can be
interrupted and the product offloaded by pressing the same button again.
5) TOPPING-UP THE WATER LEVEL
The water-level probe detects an insufficient level by reading the difference in temperature, so that on switching on,
when the water is cold, topping-up is not immediate and, on first heating will not take place until 90°C has been
reached.
When the machine is working the level is kept constant.
