1.3.2 Plumbing Connections
The plumbing installation must be done by a licensed plumber and must comply with local and
national codes.
1.3.2.1 Water Inlet Connections
The water line connects to the cooker in the back of the unit. This line is connected to the manual
fill valve (optional) or a faucet (optional).
NOTICE
If cold water only is used to fill the cooker, it will require at least thirty
minutes to bring the water up to cooking temperature.
1.3.2.2 Drainage Connections
Both the cooking/warming section and the rinsing/holding section are equipped with drainage
connections. The main drainage connection is located at the front bottom point of the cooker and is
equipped with a 1-1/4" stainless steel and brass valve. The overflow drain is located underneath the
front deck of the cooker. The overflow drain line is connected directly to the main drainage line.
1.3.3 Gas Connection
This information applies to the Pasta gas cooker only. The cooker will provide peak performance
when the gas supply line is of sufficient size to provide the correct gas flow. The gas line must be
installed to meet the local building codes and/or National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54-1984, and ANSI
Z223.1-1988. In Canada, install the cooker in accordance with CAN-CGA 1-B149.1 and CAN-CGA
1-B149.2 and/or local codes. Gas line sizing requirements can be determined by your local gas
company by referring to National Fuel Gas Code, Appendix C, Table C-4 (natural gas) and Table C-
16 (propane). The gas line needs to be large enough to supply the necessary amount of fuel to reach
all appliances without loss of pressure to any appliance. Other factors that are used to determine the
piping requirements are BTU requirements of the appliances that are connected and the length of pipe
between the gas meter and the appliances.
