This chapter provides the information and procedures necessary to perform basic cooker maintenance
and adjustments. If your cooker does not perform properly after performing maintenance, contact
your authorized service center. For repair, maintenance, or an explanation of any procedure, contact
your dealer, local service company, the factory representative in your area, or the factory.
WARNING
The power supply must be disconnected before servicing or cleaning
the cooker.
3.1 Thermostat Calibration - Manual Units ONLY
The Pasta cooker is equipped with a thermostat that controls the burners when the FUNCTION
SELECT switch is in the SIMMER position. This thermostat should be set at approximately 190°F.
At elevations above 5,000 feet, the thermostat setting should be decreased to 190°F. To change the
thermostat setting, use the following procedure:
a. Place an accurate thermometer in the center of the cooking tank with the bulb approximately
3" below the surface of the water. Allow enough time for the thermometer to stabilize.
b. Using a flat tip screwdriver, turn the shaft on the thermostat clockwise to decrease the
temperature setting; turn the shaft counterclockwise to increase the temperature setting. The
thermostat is located on the left hand front wall of the tank. The shaft should not need to be
turned more than 1/4 turn to adjust the temperature setting.
CAUTION
DO NOT turn the adjusting shaft more than two (2) turns in either
direction.
