This chapter describes how to operate your Pasta cooker to obtain the best performance. Read the
safety notices located in the front of this manual before operating the cooker. It is also important to
read this manual to familiarize yourself with the cooker before you begin cooking. Ensure that it has
been cleaned properly before using it to prepare food.
2.1 Filling the Cooker
The water level of the cooker is maintained manually by using the optional water fill system or the
faucets above the rinse tank. It is important to keep the cooker full of water to minimize the chance
of boiling the unit dry and to keep the water at optimum cooking levels. To keep the water
temperature at its normal operating temperature and prevent rapid temperature changes, it is best to
add water in small amounts.
2.2 Cooker Start-Up
There are two control systems available for the Pasta Perfect system, Digital Controller and Manual.
Both systems use the steps in this section. After performing these steps, refer to the unit specific
sections to complete the start up.
a. Ensure the drain valve is closed.
b. Fill the cooking tank with clean water.
c. Light the pilot as described in section 1.4.3.
