If during operation the boil is killed when water automatically enters the pasta cooker, turn the water
pressure down until the water is added without killing
the boil. The drain terminates within inches of the
fl oor and is designed for the standard dump to drain
opening.
In most cases the health department will not allow a
direct connection between the cooker drain and the
fl oor receptacle. Contact your local health department
for specifi c information in your area.
SETTING WATER LEVEL CONTROL BOARDS
To ensure the proper function of Keating's Custom
Pasta System, the following steps must be taken:
As water quality varies from location to location, each
new pasta cooker's automatic water fi ll board (B
board) and safety board (A board) must be adjusted
upon installation.
A or B Board
1. Fill the unit to the "FILL LINE" with water.
2. Rotate potentiometer clockwise as far as
possible.
3. Slowly drain the water until level is visibly below
the "FILL LINE".
NOTE: If the blue light does not come on and the unit
does not begin to refi ll with water, the following must
be done:
4. Slowly rotate the potentiometer counter-clockwise
until the blue light comes on.
5. Close drain valve.
6. Ensure water stops fi lling when level is at the
"FILL LINE" (a slight turn of the potentiometer
clockwise may be necessary).
OPERATING
FILLING
NOTE: Before fi lling the Pasta System make certain
the vessel is sanitized, dry and the drain valve is completely closed.
Figure 2
A Board Adjustment -
Keating's Custom Pasta System has a safety shut off
feature to shut down the unit automatically when the
water level becomes low. Use the following steps to
properly set this feature:
1. Fill the unit to the "FILL LINE" with water.
2. Rotate potentiometer clockwise as far as
possible.
NOTE: The potentiometer does not rotate 360°.
3. Ensure unit will heat properly (see OPERATING in
manual).
4. Slowly drain water.
NOTE: If unit does not shut down when water level is
below the lower sensor (approximately at the top of
heat tubes/elements), the following must be done:
5. Slowly rotate the potentiometer counter-clockwise
until the unit shuts down.
6. Close drain valve. Repeat steps 1, 3 and 4.
B Board Adjustment (For Auto-Fill Units only) -
Auto-fi ll units automatically replenish the pasta cooker
with water when water is absorbed in food and lost in
the form of steam. Use the following steps to properly
set this feature:
Manual Water Fill Level
When the water fi ll toggle switch (located between
the green and blue indicating lights) is turned on, the
Pasta System vessel automatically will be fi lled to the
proper level. If the vessel is being manually fi lled with
water from a faucet or through the manual fi ll button,
fi ll to just below the overfl ow deck. The black manual
fi ll button is located to the right of the blue water fi ll
indicating light.
THERMOSTATS
The Keating pasta cooker has two thermostats. This
is to allow maximum control of the boil. The system
is designed so that both thermostats will function
together when called for but one thermostat will act as
primary and hold the water at a rolling boil during cooking as well as idle time. The two thermostats allow
the user to have complete control over the cooking
process.
The right side thermostat will only activate if the left
side thermostat is active. From a cold start all elements and thermostats will be on and heat the water
to a rolling boil. Once the water has reached a rolling
boil the right side (secondary) thermostat will turn off
1-800-KEATING |
5
and the left side thermostat (primary) will hold the water
at a rolling boil. When product to be cooked is dropped
into the pasta cooker the drop in temperature depends
on the temperature spread between the two thermostats as determined by the user.
If adding product does not turn on the secondary thermostat and the water falls below a rolling boil, increase
the setting slightly on the secondary thermostat. It is
not recommended that there be less than a twenty
degree difference between the two thermostats. Having
less than a twenty degree difference will increase the
possibility of a boil over and cause the pasta cooker to
short cycle. The recommended starting temperatures
for the cooker are 212°F (98.8°C) for the primary and
190°F (87.8°C) for the secondary thermostat. Using
these settings with the knowledge of the operation of
this system, the user can fi ne tune the settings to fi t his
specifi c operation.
should be done with the brush up and down the sensor
tube located on the right side of the splashdeck.
COOKING
Keating Electric Custom Pasta Systems are designed
to provide maximum production effi ciency 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 during the cooking process will have a detrimental effect on the cooker tank
and will void the warranty.
CONTROL PANEL FEATURES
Figure 3
Custom Pasta System Electric Control Panel
Amber–shows the power is on.
Green–shows the secondary (right) thermostat
is calling for heat from the center element(s).
Blue–shows water is fi lling into the Pasta System
vessel through the Pasta System water solenoid
valve.
NOTE: The black manual water fi ll button is located to
the right of the blue indicating light.
THE AUTO-FILL SYSTEM
The water temperature must not exceed 120°F
(48.8°C). Control of the water level is fully automatic
with the auto-fi ll system. The water level is controlled by
two circuit boards attached to the two water level sensors located on the front of the pot below the spashdeck. Once the water switch is turned to ON, the pasta
cooker will start to fi ll with water. The heating elements
will not turn on until the water level is above the bottom sensor. This is an automatic water safety built into
every pasta cooker. This safety prevents the pasta cooker from accidental heat damage due to low or no water.
The bottom sensor is the low water cut off. The top
sensor is the water level control. Both sensors should
be cleaned on a regular basis to prevent water deposits from interfering with the sensor reaction. Cleaning

screws on dial plate and replace knob.
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, fl exible hose
must be used to avoid leaking when the Pasta System
is moved for cleaning.
Control of the water level is fully automatic with the
auto-fi ll system. The water level is controlled by two circuit boards and two sensors. The sensors are located
in the tube on the right side of the overfl ow deck. The
upper sensor controls the water level and the lower sensor controls the low water safety shut-off system. Once
the water On/Off switch is turned on, the blue light will
come on and start to fi ll until the water level reaches
the upper sensor. The burners will not come on until
the water level reaches the lower sensor, preventing the
Pasta System from being damaged if there is little or no
water in it. Both sensors must be cleaned with the sensor brush (like the one provided) on an hourly basis or
whenever starch foams up to maintain the proper water
level. Sensors must be cleaned more often in areas
with hard water, in installations with softened water (due
to the salt in the water) or when oil or salt is placed in
the water for cooking.

The brush must be checked on a regular basis and
replaced whenever it starts to wear.
Do not store the sensor brush in the sensor tube as
it could contact the sensors, which could allow the
water level to drop below the heat tubes and damage
the Pasta System.
Using a worn brush could damage the sensors.
NOTE: Water level problems caused by the sensors
not being cleaned adequately will not be covered under
warranty.
WHEN THE WATER LEVEL FALLS BELOW THE LOWER
SENSOR THE BURNERS WILL SHUT OFF. IF THEY STAY
ON, TURN THE MAIN POWER ON/OFF SWITCH TO THE
“OFF” POSITION AND CLEAN THE SENSORS THOROUGHLY. IF THE PROBLEM STILL OCCURS, HAVE THE
WATER AUTO-FILL SYSTEM CHECKED BY A QUALIFIED
SERVICE TECHNICIAN.

THIS ADJUSTMENT IS DONE PRIOR TO SHIPMENT AT
THE FACTORY. IT SHOULD ONLY BE ADJUSTED BY A
QUALIFIED SERVICE TECHNICIAN.
The potentiometer is located on the control board. It is
a black knob with a white triangle imprinted on it. The
potentionmeter adjusts the sensitivity of the probe.
Adjusting this sensor will not increase the depth of the
water. Improper adjustments can effect the operation
of the cooker and cause damage. All boards returned
to Keating are tested. The board marked with a “B” is
the top water level or fi ll board. The board marked with
an “A” is the safety or low level board. The “A” board is
connected to the bottom sensor and turns the elements
off when the water falls below the level of sensor. The
“B” board is connected to the top sensor and adds
water when the level falls below the probe. Regular
cleaning of these sensors is of the utmost importance.
COOKER HEATING SECTION
The heating section as explained in CONTROL
FEATURES is not that of a fryer. The thermostats control
the heat only to one element except during heavy use. If
the cooker boils over, check the thermostat setting and
calibration. Remember a boil over is not covered under
warranty and the pasta cooker should never be left
unattended. When the ON/OFF switch on the left side
is turned to the ON position, you will hear one of three
contactors click in. As the thermostats turn the elements on and off, other contactors will also be heard.
Refer to wiring diagram.
SERVICE
THE COOKER MUST BE DISCONNECTED FROM ITS
POWER SOURCE OR SHUT DOWN AT THE BREAKER
PRIOR TO SERVICE.
AUTO-FILL SYSTEM
The auto-fi ll system allows the automatic addition of
water to the pasta cooker during cooking or idle function. The system is controlled by the on/off switch
explained in CLEANING. If the system should fail to
allow the pasta cooker to fi ll with water, check the
power supply to the pasta cooker. If the left side amber
indicating light is not on, check the circuit breaker to the
cooker. If the pasta cooker fails to stop adding water
or fails to turn the elements off, check the water level
sensors. Clean the sensors as stated in PREVENTIVE
MAINTENANCE. If after cleaning, the system still fails it
is possible to adjust the control boards inside the fi eld
wire box.
WARRANTY REPAIRS
Keating’s warranty begins with the date of installation.
In the event that your Keating Custom Pasta System,
under warranty, needs repairs other than routine cleaning, you are requested to contact KEATING OF CHICAGO,
