Before first use:
•Disconnect the unit from the power supply. Remove the base plate, lift the control head out of the rear
channel (Fig 2) and clean the tank with a little hot water and mild detergent.
Note: The control head is fitted with a safety switch to cut off the power supply when it is lifted up.
•Replace tank. To replace the control head, lower it carefully into the rear channel. Replace the base plate.
•Fill the tank with water to a level between the markers (Fig 1) on the base plate. Do not exceed the
maximum amount (See Technical Specifications). Ensure water is above the minimum marker, using
boiling water when required. Note: One kilo of pasta will use approximately 1.5 litres of water.
Operating the unit:
•Connect the unit to the power supply. The green neon will light up. Turn the control knob to 6. The amber
neon will also light up. When the water has heated up to the set temperature, the amber neon will
extinguish. Fill the basket with food and lower carefully into the boiling water. Turn the control knob to
between 4 and 5.
The water level will rise considerably.
After cooking
•Place the basket with the cooked food into the slots in the basket support (Fig.1) to allow the water to drain.
Safety (High Limit) Thermostat
Lincat electric pasta boilers are fitted with a high limit thermostat. This prevents the unit from excessive damage
under a fault condition.
Ensure that this thermostat is not damaged during use and cleaning.

button upwards to re-set.
