as applicable.
NOTE: The electrical wiring diagram for the Pasta
System is attached to the inside of the Pasta System
door. Some of the more common versions are included
in the back of this manual.
CHECK GAS SUPPLY
PRESSURE
Special attention should be given to the supply pressure
and gas flow pressure at the supply connection to the
Pasta System. The nominal gas should be 4" WC for
natural gas and 10" WC for propane gas.
If the supply pressure is lower or higher than the rated
(nominal) pressure, then the reason should be investigated
and the gas supplier contacted.
If the supply is lower than 2 1/2" WC or higher than 7" WC
for natural gas or lower then 9” WC or higher than 12" WC
for propane gas, then the Pasta System should be shut
down and a service company or supplier notified. No
adjustments should be made and the Pasta System should
not be operated.
ONLY BY CERTIFIED PROFESSIONAL
1. Turn off main gas supply valve.
2. Remove pressure measuring stud screw located at
the “out-flow” (closest to gas burner) of the gas
valve and attach a manometer.
DO NOT CUT OR REMOVE THE GROUNDING
PRONG FROM THIS PLUG.
GAS LEAK TESTING
Prior to lighting your Pasta System:
1. Make sure all thermostats, switches and safety
valves are in the “OFF” position.
2. Turn main supply gas cock (Item 18, page 20) to
the “ON” position.
3. Have your plumber or gas company check for leaks
with a soap solution or sniffer. (NEVER check with
an open flame)
4. Have your plumber or gas company representative
light the constant pilot. (Not necessary if your Pasta
System has an optional spark ignitor.)
NOTE: It is estimated that half of all service calls
made on Keating Pasta Gas Systems result from an
inadequate gas supply. During installation, have a gas
company representative make certain that the Pasta
System is receiving adequate gas pressure and volume.
PROPANE GAS MAY EVENTUALLY LOSE ITS ODOR
AND PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN TO
ASSURE THAT IT IS NOT PRESENT EVEN THOUGH
YOU DO NOT DETECT AN ODOR. IF THERE IS ANY
DOUBT, YOU SHOULD CALL YOUR LOCAL
PROPANE GAS SUPPLIER FOR ASSISTANCE.
3. Remove cover screw from the gas valve pressure
adjustment valve.
4. Open main gas supply valve and start Pasta
System according to instructions with the
thermostat set at 190°F(87.8°C).
5. Once the Pasta System is in operation, adjust
pressure valve to 4" WC for natural gas and 10” WC
for propane gas.
6. Turn Pasta System off, close main gas supply
valve, remove manometer and tighten cover screw
into pressure measuring stud.
SPECIAL NOTICES
The Pasta System should be operated only in an area that
has good air circulation.
The Pasta System must be installed under an electrically
powered ventilating hood.
The operator should be properly trained to the functioning
of the Pasta System.
This instruction manual should be supplied to the operator.
Constructional changes to the area where the Pasta
System is installed shall not affect the air supply to the
Pasta System. The installation, start-up and changes
required when changing from one gas type to another can
be performed only by a certified professional.
The Pasta System is intended only for commercial use and
is to be operated only by professionals.
It is required that the Pasta System is regularly inspected for
proper function. The frequency of inspections are
dependent of the Pasta System usage, however it should
be performed at least once a day.
After adjustment or service work the Pasta System has to
be checked for gas leaks.
6
NOTE: After conversions, readjustments or service
work, the Pasta System has to be tested for proper
functioning. Basically the following applies:
CALIBRATION
For Calibration refer to page 12 – Calibration. Note:
Calibration is not covered under warranty.
WATER AND DRAIN
CONNECTIONS
The water supply connection, located at the bottom rear of
the Pasta System and marked water inlet, is a standard 3/8"
female pipe connection. The water pressure should be
between 20 - 60 psi. If the pressure exceeds 60 psi, a
pressure regulator must be used. The water temperature
must not exceed 150°F(65.6°C). Hot or warm water is not
needed due to the instant recovery of the Pasta System;
however, it’s use is not detrimental.
Figure 3-1
Manual Water Fill Level
When the water fill toggle switch (located between the
green and blue indicating lights) is turned on, the Pasta
System vessel automatically will be filled to the proper
level. If the vessel is being manually filled with water
from a faucet or through the manual fill button, fill to just
below the overflow deck. The black manual fill button is
located to the right of the blue water fill indicating light.
Connections suitable for hot water must be used.
All connections must be tested for leaks before
using the Pasta System.
NOTE: For Pasta Systems with casters, flexible hose
must be used to avoid leaking when the Pasta System
is moved for cleaning.
If during operation the boil is killed when water
automatically enters the Pasta System, turn the water
pressure down until water is added without killing the boil.
The drain terminates within inches of the floor and is
designed for the standard dump to drain opening. In most
cases, the health department will not allow a direct
connection between the Pasta System drain and the floor
receptacle. Contact your local health department for
specific information in your area.
IT MAY BE NECESSARY TO INSTALL A BACK FLOW
PROTECTOR OR CHECK VALVE ON THE WATER
SUPPLY LINE TO THE PASTA SYSTEM. CHECK WITH
EITHER YOUR LOCAL WATER OR HEALTH
DEPARTMENT TO DETERMINE IF THIS IS
NECESSARY IN YOUR SPECIFIC AREA.
III OPERATING
FILLING
NOTE: Before filling the Pasta System make certain the
vessel is sanitized, dry and the drain valve is completely
closed.
LIGHTING
In the event of a power failure, check to see if constant
pilot is still burning before resuming operation. If not,
wait five minutes to allow any accumulated gas to
escape and then re-light the constant pilot.
Figure 3-2
Lighting Controls
1. Open the main supply gas cock.
2. Turn “On” main power On/Off switch (located
between the amber and green indicating lights).
3. Light the constant pilot (located next to left burner as
you face it). If your Pasta System has an optional
spark ignitor, omit this step.
4. Activate pilot light momentary switch (left top corner)
and hold about 30 seconds, releasing it after pilot
indicting light is illuminated. If the runner pilot tube
fails to stay lit, wait five minutes before attempting to
relight to allow any accumulated gas to escape.
5. Set the primary (left) thermostat to 212°F(100°C) and
the secondary (right) thermostat to 190°F(87.8°C) or

less. Setting the secondary thermostat above
190°F(87.8°C) could allow the Pasta System to boil
over or short cycle.
INDICATING LIGHTS
● Amber–shows the runner pilot is lit.
● Green–shows the secondary (right) thermostat is
calling for heat from the center burner(s).
● Blue–shows water is filling into the Pasta System
vessel through the Pasta System water solenoid valve.
NOTE: The black manual water fill button is located to
the right of the blue indicating light. This may be used to
add water manually by depressing.
A. Standard Pasta System
1. Fill Pasta System as described on page 7 – Filling.
2. Set primary (left) thermostat to 212°F(100°C) and
secondary (right) thermostat to 190°F(87.8°C).
3. When the water starts boiling, lower baskets slowly
into the hot water.
4. Set timer for left or right side basket, whichever is
being lowered into water.
5. When timer sounds, lift basket out of water. Place
on basket hanger rods on splashback of Pasta
System to allow draining of excess water.
B. Basket-Lift Model
COOKING
Keating Pasta Gas Systems are designed to provide
maximum production efficiency and deliver high quality
food products. Low-temperature cooking and highly
polished stainless steel mean greater energy savings. Two
thermostats are used to provide instant recovery and to
save energy while water is boiling. The secondary (right)
thermostat calls for additional heat at start up or
occasionally when water is added. Follow cooking
procedures below for your model.
NOTE: Use of sodium chloride (salt) during the
cooking process will have a detrimental effect on the
cooker tank and will void the warranty.
OPERATION OF THIS PASTA SYSTEM SHOULD
BE LIMITED TO PERSONNEL WHO HAVE BEEN
THOROUGHLY TRAINED IN OPERATING
PROCEDURES.
USE ONLY KEATING APPROVED BASKETS IN
YOUR PASTA SYSTEM. NEVER OVERFILL
BASKETS. DO NOT BANG BASKETS ON
BASKET HANGERS OR PASTA SYSTEM
VESSEL.
1. Fill Pasta System as described on page 7 – Filling.
2. Set primary (left) thermostat to 212°F(100°C) and
secondary (right) thermostat to 190°F(87.8°C).
3. Fill basket(s) to proper level and place on upper
basket hanger rods on splashback of Pasta
System.
4. Set timers to desired cooking time using T1, T2 or
T3. (For Programming Timers see page 9-10 for 14”
BL models & 10 for all others).
5. Push Start/Stop or T1, T2, or T3 button on timer(s).
Basket(s) will automatically lower into the Pasta
System vessel.
6. When cooking cycle is complete, an audible alarm
will sound and the basket(s) will raise automatically.
Allow water to drain before removing.
SHUTDOWN
1. Turn main power On/Off switch to “OFF” position.
2. Turn gas supply valve to “OFF” position.
3. Check to make sure all burners and pilots are
extinguished.
CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN WHEN LOWERING
BASKETS INTO PASTA SYSTEM TO PREVENT
SPLASHING HOT WATER FROM PASTA
SYSTEM VESSEL.
NEVER LIFT BASKETS DIRECTLY OUT OF THE
PASTA SYSTEM VESSEL WITHOUT DRAINING
AS SEVERE INJURY MAY RESULT.
NOTE: For counter model Pasta Systems, always
check the rear drain operating handle before attempting
to use the Pasta System. A safety switch prevents the
Pasta System from operating if the handle is not pushed
in completely and latched.
