Equipment Description
Garland Pasta Magic gas cookers are specically designed
to deliver high volumes of cooked or blanched food
automatically. All models feature a unique infrared
burner system that delivers 80,000 BTUs (23.4 kW – 84.4,
megajoules) to cook 7.22 pounds (3.25kg) of dry pasta per
bulk basket. The unit can cook 30 pounds of dry pasta per
hour, the equivalent of 136 eight-ounce servings. It can also
retherm 12 individual servings of pasta, or other vacuum-
sealed foods, at a time. The cookpot measures 18 x 24 x 8
inches (457 x 610 x 203 mm) and holds 12.7 gallons (48-liters)
of water.

GENERAL INFORMATION Continued
Model Comparison
GPCRB/GPCR: The “Gas Pasta Magic System” consists of a
gas cooker and rinse tank combination. The unit is equipped
with a programmable controller, which controls water
temperature, water level, and cooking times. A swing-
away water faucet is standard. GPCRB units are equipped
with a programmable basket lift system, which lowers and
raises bulk or individualized portions of pasta.; GPCR units
are not equipped with a basket lift system. The cookpot
is safeguarded against over lling and boilover by a large
overow drain.
GPCB/GPC: These standalone cookers are essentially the
same as the GPCRB, but without the built-in rinse tank. GPCB
models have an automatic basket lift, automatic water lling,
and optional starch skimming. GPC models have no basket
lifts. The cookpot in both is safeguarded against over lling
and boilover by a large overow drain.
All Models: All units are equipped with automatic water
lling (Autoll). The Autoll feature maintains the cookpot
water level approximately 1-inch (32mm) below the overow
drain.
The optional Autoskim feature adds eight gallons at the
top of the cooker over a three minute interval. This causes
the water to swirl, moving surface starch to the overow
drain. The Autoskim feature eliminates the need for manual
skimming.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
burner operation.
The cooker ue opening must not be placed close to the
intake of the exhaust fan, and the cooker must never have its
ue extended in a “chimney” fashion. An extended ue will
change the combustion characteristics of the cooker, causing
longer recovery time. It also frequently causes delayed
ignition.
When installed beneath a ventilation hood, adequate
distance must be maintained from the ue outlet of the
cooker to the lower edge of the ventilation lter bank. Filters
should be installed at an angle of 45° with a drip tray placed
beneath the lowest edge of the lter. For U.S. installation,
NFPA standard No. 96 states,“A minimum distance of 18
inches (450mm) should be maintained between the ue
outlet and the lower edge of the lter.”
For installations in other than the United States, installers
should contact the appropriate local or national agency
for information on the construction and installation of
ventilating hoods.
,CAUTION
DO NOT install this appliance directly over a drain
opening.
ELECTRICAL GROUNDING REQUIREMENTS
All electrically operated appliances must be grounded in
accordance with all applicable national and local codes. A
wiring diagram is located on the inside of the cooker door.
Refer to the rating plate on the inside of the cooker door for

Pre-Connection Preparations
DANGER
Do not connect cooker to gas supply before completing
each step in this section.
After the cooker has been positioned under the exhaust
hood, ensure the following has been accomplished:
1. Adequate means must be provided to limit the
movement of cookers without depending upon the
gas line connections. If a exible gas hose is used, a
restraining cable must be connected at all times when
the cooker is in use. The restraining cable and installation
instructions are packed with the exible hose in the
accessories box that was shipped with your unit.
2. Single unit cookers (GPC) must be stabilized by installing
restraining chains on cookers equipped with casters or
anchor straps on cookers equipped with legs. Follow the
instructions shipped with the casters/legs to properly
install the chains or straps.
DANGER
Do not attach an apron drain board to a single cooker.
The cooker may become unstable, tip over, and cause
injury. The appliance area must be free and clear of
combustible material at all times.
3. Level cookers equipped with legs by screwing out the
legs approximately 1 inch then adjusting them so that
the cooker is level and at the proper height under the
exhaust hood.
NOTE: There are no built-in leveling devices on cookers
equipped with casters. The oor where the cooker is to
be installed must be level.

Connection to Gas Line
The Pasta Magic family of gas cookers has been approved for
use with natural and propane (LP) gas.
The size of the gas line used for installation is very important.
If the line is too small, the gas pressure at the burner
manifold will be low. This may cause slow recovery and
delayed ignition. Garland recommends the incoming gas
supply line be a minimum of 1 ½”(38mm) in diameter. Refer
to the chart below for the minimum sizes of connection
piping.
Gas Connection Pipe Sizes
(Minimum incoming pipe size should be 1½” (38 mm))
Gas Single Unit 2-3 Units
Natural ¾” (19 mm) 1” (25 mm)
Propane ½” (13 mm) ¾” (19 mm)
Note: For distances of more than 20 feet (6m) and/or
more than four ttingsor elbows, increase the connection
by one pipe size.
Before connecting new pipe to your unit, the pipe must be
thoroughly blown out to remove any foreign particles. If
these foreign particles get into the burner and controls, they
will cause improper and sometimes dangerous operation.
1. Connect the quick-disconnect hose to the cooker quick-
disconnect tting at the rear of the cooker and to the
building gas line.
NOTE: Some cookers are congured for a rigid
connection to the gas supply line. These units must
be connected to the gas supply line at the rear of the
unit using ttings approved for that purpose by the
appropriate regulatory agency of the country in which
the appliance is installed.
4. For units equipped with basket lifts, install the basket lift
arms onto the rods (located at the top rear of the cabinet)
to ensure that the lift arms are guided by the basket lift
rollers.
5. Connect the water supply to the faucet and, on units with
the autoll option, the water solenoid valve. (The valve is
located on the lower frame behind the doorpost.)
,CAUTION
Before connecting the water supply to units equipped
with solenoid valves, purge the water line to ensure
there is no trash in the line.
DANGER
The maximum allowable incoming water pressure to the
regulator for all units is 80 PSI (56.3 kg/cm2).
The maximum allowable incoming water temperature
for all units is 180°F (82°C).
NOTE: Either hot or cold water supplies may be
connected to the water solenoid valve. However,
connecting to a hot water supply will minimize the
amount of time required to attain operating temperature
when lling the cooker with fresh water.
NOTE: In order for the water level sensors to work
properly, a certain amount of mineral content is
necessary in the water. For that reason, puried,
deionized, or highly ltered water should not be used.
6. Connect the desired drain plumbing to the 1¼–inch
drain valve. NOTE: Ensure drain plumbing is connected
in accordance with local codes. Waste water from the
water bath unit should not be discharged directly below
the appliance. Rising steam can harm the cabinet and the
electrical components.
7. Test the cooker electrical system:
a. Plug the cooker electrical cord into a grounded
electrical receptacle of appropriate voltage. (Check
the rating plate on the cooker door to determine the
proper voltage).
b. Place the power switch in the ON position and verify
that the display indicates LO.
c. Place the cooker power switch in the OFF position.
Verify that the display is blank.
8. Refer to the rating plate on the inside of the cooker door
to verify that the cooker is congured for the type of gas

NOTE: When using thread compound, use very small
amounts on male threads only. Use a pipe thread
compound that is not aected by the chemical action of
LP gases (i.e. propane, G31) (Loctite™ PST56765 Sealant is
one such compound). DO NOT apply compound to the
rst two threads. This will ensure that the burner orices
and control valve do not become clogged.
2. Open the gas supply to the cooker and check all piping,
ttings, and gas connections for leaks. A soap solution
should be used for this purpose.
DANGER
Never use matches, candles, or any other ignition source
to check for leaks. If gas odors are detected, shut off the
gas supply to the cooker at the main shut-off valve and
contact the local gas company or an authorized service
agency for service.
3. Close the cooker drain valve and ll the cookpot with
water and detergent. Light the cooker and perform the
boil-out procedures that are described in the“Boiling Out
the Cookpot”section.
nWARNING
“Dry-firing” this equipment will cause damage to the
cookpot. Always ensure that water is in the cookpot
before firing your unit.
4. It is recommended that the burner gas pressure be
checked at this time by the local gas company or an

Controller
The Pasta Magic Controller allows the operator to specify
a cook time in minutes and seconds, and then initiate
a cooking cycle. This controller is available in three
congurations. The standard conguration has both
automatic lling (Autoll) and automatic skimming
(Autoskim) features. Options include Autoll only, or neither
Autoll nor Autoskim.
When in the BOIL mode, the burners are lit at all times. It is
used when actually cooking pasta.
The SIMMER mode feature maintains the water temperature
just below boiling, which conserves energy and water. This
feature is designed for rethermalizing previously cooked
packaged products and for keeping the cooker in standby.
The AUTOSKIM and SKIM features are independent of each
other. The AUTOSKIM feature, on units so equipped, adds
water for approximately 3 seconds once a minute. It cannot
be turned o.
The SKIM feature, when activated by pressing the skim
button on the controller, delivers a continuous spray of
water for approximately 2 minutes, and then stops until
the button is again pressed. In both cases, the purpose
is to cause the water in the cookpot to overow into the
drain, carrying oating starch with it. (A buildup of starch
reduces the eciency of the cooker and can cause erroneous
temperature and water level sensing.) NOTE: Do not use
deliming solution to clean these units. Use of deliming
solution will damage all stainless steel parts).
LOW WATER SENSING automatically closes the gas valve
(thereby extinguishing the burner ame) if the water in the
cookpot drops too low. When the water level in the cookpot
is below the low-water sensor, such as when draining and
cleaning the cookpot, the controller display will read LO.
NORMAL WATER LEVEL SENSING, on units congured with
the Autoll feature, water is automatically added during or
after a cooking cycle if the water in the cookpot drops to
a level lower than approximately 1¼-inch (32 mm) below
the overow drain. With this automatic lling feature, the
water level does not have to be continuously monitored. The
cookpot always has the correct amount of water.
FAHRENHEIT OR CELSIUS TEMPERATURE DISPLAY.
There are two versions of the SMS Controller: one that can
be toggled between Fahrenheit and Celsius temperature
display, and one that cannot. To determine which version
you have, turn the controller o by pressing the power
switch. The display will go blank. Press the Simmer button
(right thermometer icon). If CODE appears in the display,
the temperature display can be changed. If not, the display
cannot be changed.
1. If CODE appears in the display, press 1, 6, 5, 8. The display
will be toggled from Fahrenheit to Celsius or from Celsius
to Fahrenheit.
2. Press the Boil button (left thermometer icon) to
display the cookpot temperature. If an Ffollows the
temperature, the display is in Fahrenheit; if a Cfollows the
temperature, the display is in Celsius.
