OPERATION
FIRST TIME USE
Before lighting the equipment for the first time, ensure that all package materials including the stainless
steel protective film have been removed before lighting.
Use warm soapy water and a cloth to wipe down and remove any dust or metal filings that may have
settled during manufacturing.
CORRECT ASSEMBLY
Before first time use, carefully inspect the unit to ensure that nothing has moved or has been damaged
during transport. If there are any concerns please contact Comcater Technical Support 1800 810 161.
FILLING THE TANK
Before filling, ensure that the drain is in the closed position and only operate the pasta cooker when the
water level is at or above the minimum water level indicator on the rear of the tank (see diagram below).
Never leave the pilot light on when the tank is not filled with water. To fill the tank turn the right knob
counter clockwise. Once filled turn the knob clockwise to stop the flow of water.
LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Turn the Control knob from position “off” to “Pilot” .
2. Depress control knob and hold it down and light pilot immediately with “piezo ignitor”.
Note: The pilot can been seen through the “pilot viewing hole”.
3. Once the pilot has lit, continue to hold in the control knob for 10 seconds, before slowly releasing.
(Verify that the pilot is still lit once the control knob has been released, if not repeat step 3 & 4).
4. Turn gas control knob to the “Hi-flame” position, the burner will then ignite.
5. If the pilot becomes extinguished, repeat the above procedure.
SHUTDOWN INSTRUCTIONS
1. Turn the gas control knob to the “"off" position.
2. Allow the equipment to cool down before cleaning.

OPERATION / MAINTENANCE
DAILY OPEATION
Once the tank has been filled above the minimum water level, the pilot has been lit and the
burner is switched on, the water in the tank will begin to heat.
It will take between 30 minutes to 1 hour for the water to achieve a rolling boil, depending on the
incoming water temperature.
The pasta cooker has the ability to skim starch from the tank when the tank is full and the filling
tap is opened to a trickle.
This will flush excess starch from the surface of the water, down the skim drain located on the
apron at the front of the tank.
NOTE: Using the trickle feature may hinder the rolling boil.
If a rolling boil is required for a particular cooking process, it is recommended that this feature
isn’t used during cooking. Instead, use the trickle feature to flush excess starch in intervals
between cooking.
Always ensure that the water within the tank does reduce below the minimum water level marker
and never dry fire the tank, and never leave the pilot lit with the tank empty.
DAILY CLEANING
CLEANING STAINLESS STEEL
Regularly wipe the surface with hot water and detergent. Rinse and wipe the washed area with a
wet sponge and clean water and wipe the area dry to prevent streaking. Follow this process and
wash a small area at a time to prevent chemical residue and streaking.
Stainless steel may discolour if overheated. These stains can usually be removed using an
appropriate powder or paste. Use only wood or plastic tools as necessary.
NOTES:
1. Never use steel wool to clean stainless steel.
2. Damage may occur if chemicals not suitable for stainless steel are used.
MAINTAINING A CLEAN TANK
During the cooking process pasta releases starch into the water, most of starch is flushed down
the skim drain or the main drain when the tank is flushed, however deposits do accumulate on
the walls of the tank. Its important to maintain the cleanliness of tank to ensure satisfactory food
safety and optimum thermal efficiency of the pasta cooker.
Neglecting the cleanliness of the tank will reduce the thermal efficiency which will impact on the
pasta cookers overall performance.
Long term affects of poor cleaning can result in damage or failure of the tank.
CLEANING THE TANK
Clean the tank daily with mild detergent and hot water.
Only a non-abrasive brush or cloth. Never use steel wool or abrasive scrubbing pads.
USE ONLY SUITABLE CHEMICALS AND OBSERVE ALL
MANUFACTURER SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE.
