element positions.
•Turn on the power supply at the isolating switch.
•The green neon will light indicating that mains power is on, and amber neons will light
indicating that the heating elements are energised.
•Rotate the control knob to the desired temperature setting.

IS399 ECN3290 8
•When the temperature reaches the selected set point, the element will cycle on and off to
maintain the set temperature. Note: There is a range of 6 cycles on the control knob & a
constant power position beyond the ‘6’ setting.
•Submerge baskets of pasta (positioning onto basket support) and cook as per manufacturers
instructions.
•During cooking of pasta, starch may be scooped from the surface of water & poured into the
overflow/starch removal trough in front of the tank.
•For bains marie operation fit gastronorm
pan support (OE7702 Only) slotting into overflow cover.
•Position gastronorm pans into top of tank, cover produce with gastronorm lids.
•For steaming operation use perforated gastronorm pans and lids.
Should the water fail to heat when its neon is illuminated and the control knob is set to a heating
position, the high temperature cut-out may require re-setting. The cut-outs are located underneath
the control panel, accessed through the door.
Press the exposed button to reset the cut-out.
Should the appliance still fail to operate, consult a qualified electrical Engineer.
SUTTING DOWN THE APPLIANCE
To turn the appliance off completely, rotate the control knobs clockwise to the OFF position.
Warning: After operation, some parts of the appliance will remain hot for a period of
time. Please take care to avoid accidental burns.
Note: If the water level falls below the basket plate the pressure switch will operate closing power
to the elements. In the event of the unit completely boiling dry the element protector will operate
shutting down the appliance.

RESETTING THE LIMIT THERMOSTAT
•Isolate the unit from the electrical supply.
•Leave the unit for at least 20 minutes to cool before refilling to the indicated level with fresh
water.
•Reset the limit thermostat by manually depressing the button (refer to the drawing below for
location).
•Reconnect the unit to the electrical supply and operate as normal.

for front and rear elements.
CLEANING
Before carrying out any cleaning of your unit, isolate the appliance from the power supply.
Allow the appliance to cool.
After use, clean the unit down with a warm detergent solution.
Do not use abrasive cleaners or any containing chlorine on stainless steel surfaces.
Do not use a water jet or a steam cleaner to clean the appliance.

IS399 ECN3290 10
SCALE
The formation of scale within a hot water system is common and if left unchecked may cause
problems to the functioning of the appliance. In hard water areas scale formation builds up quicker
than in softer water areas therefore checks on scale formation need to be more frequent. It is
advisable, in order to prevent injury, the appliance be isolated and allowed to cool before inspecting
for scale deposits within the tank.
DE-SCALING THE APPLIANCE
It is recommended that the appliance be de-scaled regularly using an approved de-scaling
compound. Excessive scale deposits may become difficult to remove with some de-scaling
products.
Do not use hydrochloric acid based de-scaling compounds on stainless steel.
• To de-scale the appliance, isolate the appliance from the electricity supply.
• Fill with water to the indicated level.
• Turn on the electricity supply and heat the water to boiling then turn the thermostat off.
• Add the de-scaling compound a little at a time, allow the frothing to subside then set the unit on
full. Some de-scaling compounds may cause hot water to erupt. It is advisable to follow the
instructions of the manufacturers.
• Allow the appliance to heat for up to 30 minutes, then allow the water to cool.
• In the case of severe scale deposits it may be necessary to repeat the de-scaling process.
On completion of successful de-scaling isolate from the supply, evacuate the tank via the drain tap
then rinse with clean water.
DRAINING THE WATER
• Turn the unit off and isolate from the power supply.
• Allow the water to cool to a maximum of 55°C.
• Open the tap and allow the water to drain.
• Open the water control valve to allow you to swirl water around the tank to assist rinsing debris
through the tank.
• Close the tap to the safe locked position (see diagram below).
CLEANING THE TANKS
Food debris can be a health risk, ensure that food debris is cleaned from the unit after use.
• Remove any debris from the bottom of the tank.
• Wash the tanks, top surface of the body, basket drainer, overflow cover, basket support and
pan support with a warm detergent solution.
• Rinse out the tank flushing any traces of detergent into the drain.
• Close the drain taps into the safe locked position (see “Draining the water”).
• Replace the basket drainer, overflow cover, batter plate and pan support.
• Refill the tank with fresh water.

BASKET LOADS
Overloading the basket reduces the appliance output of cooked product and will result in uneven
cooking. It also increases the possibility of surge boiling (the water may suddenly boil over when
the basket is placed into the tank).
