1. Check gas supply is turned ‘On’.
2. Check that no foreign articles are in the tank.
NOTE: Tank capacity - 40 Ltrs of water.
1. Before filling tank, always check drain valve behind door is closed. A locking slide is provided on
valve and this should always be locked in position during use.
2. Turn water supply 'ON'. Open appliance water valve and fill tank with water.
3. Water level will remain at a constant height as there is an overflow at front of tank.
4. During cooking, water level will reduce as it evaporates as steam when boiling and when it
overflows as loaded baskets are dropped into tank.
5. To maintain correct water level, water tap should be adjusted to give a water flow out of water
supply nozzle that just causes water to continually flow out of overflow.
This method provides:
 Maintained water level for cooking.
 Skimming or flushing effect to prevent cooking water becoming gummed up with pasta
residue.

LEVEL SHOULD BE TOPPED UP.
GREAT CARE MUST BE TAKEN BY OPERATOR, TO USE THE PASTA COOKER SAFELY, TO GUARD AGAINST RISK
OF INJURY AND FIRE.
 DO NOT LEAVE PASTA COOKER UNATTENDED DURING OPERATION.
 DO NOT OVER FILL WATER IN PASTA COOKER ABOVE UPPER FILL LEVEL MARK.
 DO NOT ALLOW WATER IN PASTA COOKER TO FALL BELOW LOWER LEVEL MARK.
 DO NOT USE FLAMMIBLE SOLVENTS AND CLEANING AIDS ON OR IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO PASTA
COOKER WHILST PASTA COOKER IS STILL HOT.
DANGER OF FIRE EXISTS IF WATER LEVEL IS BELOW MINIMUM 'LOW' INDICATED LEVEL.
NEVER OPERATE THE APPLIANCE EMPTY.

12
1. With pasta cooker tank full of water, pilot burner can be lit.
2. Check gas supply is turned ‘On’ at mains supply.
3. Depress and rotate gas control knob to ‘PILOT’ position and hold knob depressed.
4. Open front access door and depress piezo igniter located on bulkhead panel, until pilot burner
ignites.
5. Continue holding gas control knob depressed for approx. 10 to 15 seconds after igniting pilot burner,
then release, pilot burner should remain alight.
6. Ensure pilot burner is alight, by checking that pilot flame is alight with access door open.
7. If pilot burner does not ignite, repeat Items 1 to 6 above.
1. Depress and rotate gas control knob to ‘High Flame’ position, main burner will ignite automatically
off pilot burner.
2. Gas control knob can be regulated between 'High Flame' and 'Low Flame' position to regulate
cooking temperature.
3. It will take approximately 30 minutes to heat water in tank from 20°C to 100°C.
IMPORTANT:
 THE USE OF ROCK SALT IS NOT PERMITTED IN THIS MACHINE .
 NEVER add salt to cold water - always ensure that the water in the pasta cooker is
boiling before adding salt.
 Clean the pan regularly after each use.
To the ‘Pilot’ Position
a. Depress and rotate gas control valve clockwise to ‘Pilot’ position.
b. Main burner will extinguish and ‘Pilot’ will remain alight.
To the ‘Off’ Position
a. Depress and rotate gas control valve fully clockwise to ‘Off’ position.
b. ‘Pilot’ burner will extinguish.
IMPORTANT:
Should any abnormal operation like;
- ignition problems,
- abnormal burner flame,
- burner control problems,
- partial or full loss of burner flame in normal operation, be noticed, appliance requires
IMMEDIATE service by a qualified service person and should not be used until such service
is carried out.

13
Clean pasta cooker regularly. A clean pasta cooker looks better, will last longer and will perform
better. A dirty pasta cooker will hinder transfer of heat from cooking surface to food. This will result
in loss of cooking efficiency.
NOTE:
 DO NOT clean appliance using high pressure water or steam jets.
 DO NOT pour water directly over appliance.
 DO NOT use wire brushes. Clean pan regularly after each use.
 DO NOT use combustible liquids to clean appliance.
 DO NOT use harsh abrasive detergents, sharp scrapers, strong solvents or caustic
detergents as they will damage appliance.
 DO NOT use any chloric or bleaching detergents to clean appliance.
 Ensure that any detergent or cleaning material has been completely removed after
each cleaning.
 DO NOT use saline or sulphuric acid preparations for descaling appliance.
 Ensure protective gloves are worn during cleaning.
 Clean pan regularly after each use.
Opening the Drain Valve
a. Lift locking slide on valve handle (Fig 5) to release the valve.
b. While holding locking slide in the withdrawn position, rotate handle anticlockwise (Fig 6) to open
valve.
c. When valve is closed, slide locking slide down over locking valve, as shown in Fig.5, to prevent
accidental opening the valve.
DO NOT USE FLAMMIBLE SOLVENTS AND CLEANING AIDS ON OR IN CLOSE PROXIMITY OF PASTA COOKER
WHILST COOKER IS STILL HOT.

14
1. Clean interior of pan regularly after each use. Do not use wire brushes on pan. Clean using a mild
detergent and a hot water solution using soft cloth or a soft bristled brush. Dry appliance
thoroughly using a dry clean cloth.
1. The water should be drained and re-filled regularly. Open the drain valve slowly to minimise
splashing. Waste water will drain into the tundish fitted below the appliance drain outlet.
2. When the tank is empty, open the drain valve fully and check for any particles or residue lodged in
the valve. Clean out with a stiff nylon brush. Do not use a wire brush or metal rods as these
damage the seating in the valve and will eventually lead to valve leakage.
3. If the obstruction in the valve cannot be removed with a brush, use a wooden probe to dislodge any
obstruction.
4. Clean the control panel using a damp cloth lightly moistened with a solution of mild detergent and
hot water. Dry the control panel thoroughly using a dry clean cloth.
5. At the end of each day or at end of each shift,
 Clean the interior and exterior of the pasta cooker using a mild detergent and a hot water
solution using soft cloth or a soft bristled brush. Do not use wire brushes on the pan. Dry the
appliance thoroughly using a dry clean cloth.
 Clean the pasta / noodle baskets using a mild detergent and hot water solution using a soft cloth
or a soft bristled brush. Rinse in fresh water and thoroughly dry using a dry clean cloth.
6. Once the daily cleaning operation is completed, ensure that the drain valve has been closed.

15
NOTE:
 If pasta cooker usage is very high, we recommend that weekly cleaning procedure is
carried out more frequently.
 Ensure that protective gloves are worn during cleaning.
 DO NOT use harsh abrasive detergents, strong solvents, sharp scrapers or caustic
detergents as they will damage surface of pasta cooker.
 Ensure that water circuit is free of ferrous particles. Any such particles deposited in
bottom of tank may cause it to rust.
Thoroughly clean interior and exterior of pasta cooker regularly. Do not use wire brushes on pan. Clean
using a mild detergent and a hot water solution using soft cloth or a soft bristled brush. Dry appliance
thoroughly using a dry clean cloth.
NOTE: To prevent rust forming on steel components, ensure that detergent or cleaning material
has been entirely removed after each cleaning process.
Stainless Steel Surfaces
a. Clean interior and exterior surfaces of pasta cooker with hot water, a mild detergent solution and
a soft scrubbing brush. Note that gas control knobs are a push fit onto gas and water control
valve spindles and can be removed when cleaning the control panel.
b. Baked on deposits or discolouration may require a good quality stainless steel cleaner or stainless
steel wool. Always apply cleaner when appliance is cold and rub in direction of grain.
c. Dry all components thoroughly with a dry cloth and polish with a soft dry cloth.
NOTE: All maintenance operations should only be carried out by a qualified service person.
To achieve best results, cleaning must be regular and thorough and all controls and mechanical parts
should be checked and adjusted periodically by a qualified service person. If any small faults occur, have
them attended to promptly. Don't wait until they cause a complete breakdown. It is recommended that
appliance is serviced every 6 months.
If appliance is not used for long periods, close gas shut-off valve upstream of appliance and clean
appliance thoroughly.
Appliance should be inspected and gas exhaust flue cleaned by an authorized service person at least every
6 months.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO MOVE PASTA COOKER WHILST COOKER IS FULL OF WATER.
BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO MOVE PASTA COOKER, ENSURE THAT ALL WATER HAS BEEN
DRAINED FROM TANK. REFER TO INFORMATION ON PREVIOUS PAGE ON HOW TO DRAIN
WATER FROM PASTA COOKER.
