1.4 Initial Adjustments
After the cooker has been installed, it needs to be adjusted to ensure that it will perform as designed.
These adjustments must be performed by a qualified person. The following tools will be needed to
perform these adjustments:
• Manometer (low pressure gage) • Digital Thermometer (Temperature probe)
• DC Millivolt Meter
1.4.1 Visual Checks
Before filling and adjusting the cooker, perform the following visual checks:
a. After the cooker is in its permanent location, lock the casters (if used), and ensure the cooker
is level. Any additional leveling that is necessary can be performed as described in section
1.2.
b. Check the temperature bulbs, located in the cooker tank, to ensure that the mounting screws
are tight. Look down inside the cooker tank to see the probes.
1.4.2 Filling the Pasta Cooker
To fill the cooker with water, use the optional manual water fill valve or the faucet on the rinse tank.
Allow the tank to fill until the desired level is reached. During normal operation the water will boil
away. Replace water as needed to keep water at the full level.
NOTICE
If cold water is used to fill the cooker, it will take at least twenty
minutes for the cooker to reach operating temperature.
1.4.3 Pilot Light System
The Pasta cooker uses a manual pilot light system to light the main burner. The pilot light receives
its gas supply through an electrically controlled Unitrol gas valve. Perform the procedure that follows
to light the pilot:
WARNING
Ensure the burner tubes are completely covered with water before lighting the
pilot or main burner. If the main burners are lit without the burner tubes being
covered, the cooker may overheat, damaging the kettle, voiding the warranty,
and creating a fire hazard.
