1. Remove Baskets and the Head Assembly.
Technical Theory of Operation
When the unit is plugged into the outlet, line voltage
flows to the normally open (N.O.) Safety Interlock
Switch1.
Once the Safety Interlock Switch contacts close, line
voltage then flows to the input side of the Rocker
Switch (Power On/Off). When the Rocker Switch is
turned on, line voltage then flows to a normally closed
(N.C) capillary bulb style thermostat2.
Providing the water temperature within the pan is below
162° F (72° C), the Thermostat calls for heat by supply-
ing line voltage to the Heating Element3.
As the water begins to heat up, the Thermostat’s bulb
monitors the water temperature. When the water tem-
perature approaches approximately 162° F (72° C), the
Thermostat’s contacts open and turn off the Heating
Element.
Simultaneously, the “Green” indicator light lights up to
indicate that the water is up to temperature. The heat-
ing circuit then cycles on and off as needed, even at
idle. If the heating circuit continues to call for heat, the
water will begin to boil & overcook the corn.
NOTE: If the water boils and begins to overcook
the corn, the root cause must be determined & cor-
rected. Refer to the Troubleshooting section of this
manual.
1 Safety Interlock Switch: The Safety Interlock Switch is
used to prevent operation of the Heating Element in the event
the Head Assembly is not properly seated onto the pan, or
if the unit is operating without the pan. The switch has an
actuating plunger which protrudes from beneath the Head
Assembly. Provided the Head Assembly is properly seated
onto the pan, the weight of the Head Assembly applies pres-
sure to the actuating plunger, thereby closing its contacts.
2 Thermostat: The Thermostat is fixed to maintain approxi-
mately 162 F (72 C) water temperature.
3 Heating Element: The Heating Element must only be oper-
ated while submersed in water.
2. Empty the Pan of used water. Wash the Baskets
and Pan in hot detergent water. Rinse in clear
water and dry.
3. Wipe the Head Assembly with a damp cloth, then
dry with a clean, dry cloth.
4. Install the Head Assembly onto the pan. Make
sure the Safety Interlock Switch is engaged.
5. Install the Baskets.
