ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION OF THE PASTA COOKER
1. Read this manual thoroughly before installation and operation. DO NOT proceed with installation and
operation if you have questions or do not understand everything in this manual. Contact your local
representative or Globe rst.
2. Remove the parts that make up the pasta cooker from the box. Once the unit has been removed from the
packaging, be certain that all protective plastic and residue is removed from all surfaces.
3. Inspect the unit to make sure all parts have been provided. (Pasta cooker body and attached cooking pan,
element/control head, cooking element, baskets, attached drain valve, and adjustable feet).
4. Select a location for placement of pasta cooker which has a level, solid, nonskid surface that is nonammable,
away from water hazards or sinks, and is in a well-lighted work area away from visitors.
5. Install the unit in a location with at least 6'' between the appliance and walls or other objects.
6. Proper connection and power supply are necessary for satisfactory performance. (Do not plug the unit in yet).
7. Make sure that the pasta cooker is installed in a well ventilated area. Make sure to put pasta cooker in an area
that is open and not underneath a cabinet or other overhang other than a vent hood.
Pasta cooker, water, and contents get EXTREMELY HOT. Make sure all ammable/
combustible materials are set away from this equipment.
Feet
Install four (4) feet by screwing each foot into the threaded openings on bottom corners of the unit. Failure to use
feet will void warranty and could cause unsafe conditions.
Leveling
Level unit by adjusting four (4) feet and tighten securely. Check on feet regularly to make sure they are tight. Also,
make sure the work surface of the bench/table that pasta cooker sits on is kept clean and is maintained to avoid
any accidents. Make sure the bench/table is sufcient to hold the weight of your unit. Pasta Cooker weight (empty)
= 9 lbs. and about 41.2 lbs. with water. (This weight can vary slightly depending on the water level, basket type and
food added.)
COMMISSIONING:
Commissioning of your new pasta cooker is of the utmost importance. Commissioning is the thorough and
methodical testing of the equipment, sub systems, and systems to make sure that the nal product functions
correctly and safely at the work site. By identifying any potential problems (i.e. equipment location, ventilation, local
re/electrical codes, installation, operator training and certication) prior to equipment being placed into service,
costly outages and potential damages can be avoided.
SAFETY ALWAYS.

Installation
IMPORTANT:
Use only the baskets provided and the pot attached to the unit. DO NOT replace the baskets or attempt to replace
the pot with other containers.
The pasta cooker electrical head has two locating buttons that need to be aligned to operate.
Lower the element into pot by following the two simple steps (Fig. 6-1 and Fig. 6-2). Point A cradles and guides the
head to unit’s body.
Push buttons are located on the operator right-side to lock and unlock; lift and lower heating element for cooking
or cleaning. Point A is the cradle pin guide. Point B determines the position of the head in either the working (Drip)
position or cleaning position (Access Pot position) (Fig 6-3).
Put control head into supporting cradle brackets. Put Point A into element cradle pin guide, then gently push the
electrical head forward to lock Point B into rst position.
Use Point B to keep control head in the raised (Drip or Access Pot) position. To
lower element into pan and operating position, hold insulated element handle and
push and/or depress button.
These steps can be repeated in reverse for cleaning purposes.
NOTE: Point B has two level options: Fully raised 90° (Access Pot position) allows
pot to be accessed for cleaning; raised to 75° (Drip position) allows for cleaning and
draining water from element.
Make sure pasta cooker is “Off”. It is now ready to be lled with the appropriate
amount of water.
NOTE: In the “Off” position, the pot can be lled with the heating element up or
down. Once the pot is full with appropriate amount of water, carefully lower the
heating element into the pot if heating element is in up position. Make sure the
element is always submerged. Once the element is submerged, pasta cooker
can be plugged in and can be turned “On”. See Operating Instruction section in
manual to correctly start and operate pasta cooker.
IMPORTANT: Continually observe and maintain water level in boiling pan. Water
level will decrease with each boil.
