NSTALLATION
Congratulations on the purchase of your new Pitco Frialator Pasta cooker. This cooker will provide
many years of reliable service if the operation and maintenance procedures presented in this manual
are followed. The Pitco Frialator Pasta cooker is a state of the art pasta cooking appliance. The
cooking tank holds approximately 13 gallons (49.2 liters) of water. The cooker has two heating
modes: BOIL and SIMMER. Each heating mode is selected by using one of two types of control
systems (Solid State Digital or Manual Controls). The digital controller offers one button control for
fully automatic cooking. The manual control option uses manual switches located on the front panel.
The temperature of the water (in simmer) is monitored and maintained at approximately 190°F by
an internal thermostat when using manual controls. The digital controller allows the simmer
temperature to be set by the operator and is maintained by the solid state controller. Quick recovery
time and even temperatures are assured on gas models by use of the 77,500 BTU main burner system.
It is important that the operator refer to this manual for installation, operation, and maintenance of
the cooker, and that the operator be familiar with the safety notices located throughout this manual.
The Pasta Perfect cooker consists of a cooking/warming section and a rinsing/holding section. The
cooking/warming section consists of a stainless steel well, an automatic basket lift, an electronic
controller or manual control system, and a drain and overflow. The rinsing/holding section consists
of a stainless steel well, a swing-away hot and cold water faucet, and a drain and overflow.
