Push the fryer forward as far as it will go holding the
fryer on approximately a 15° angle, and then drop the
rear of the pasta cooker into its proper position lowering
it down gently so you do not deform the table or
equipment stand.
POSITIONING
The pasta cooker must be no closer than 6" from any
combustible material. When placed under an exhaust
hood with a fire retardant system it must comply with
ANSI/UL 507-(Latest Edition) and ANSI/NFPA 96(Latest Edition). No frame or restriction can be
constructed around the lower part of the pasta cooker
that would restrict ventilation or air movement into the
pasta cooker. You must insure adequate air supply to
the pasta cooker.
Adequate clearance for servicing and proper operation
must be maintained. Your pasta cooker is designed to
be serviced from the front. Do not place a pasta cooker
next to a deep fat fryer. Hot oil and water can cause an
unstable condition creating a hazardous situation.
LEVELING
The Pasta System will operate at its highest efficiency
when properly leveled. Place a level on Pasta System
vessel from side to side. For Pasta Systems on legs, the
bottom foot of the leg is adjustable. Turn counter
clockwise to decrease height or clockwise to increase
height until level. For Pasta Systems on casters, the
casters are adjustable by loosening the jam nut and
turning the caster in or out. When the desired level is
reached, tighten the jam nut. Adjustments of more than
3
/4" are not recommended on any caster. The same
procedure should be followed to level the Pasta System
from front to back.
Figure 2-1
RESTRAINING
DEVICES
On Custom Pasta
™
System
installations with casters, casters and
jam nuts must be completely
tightened. Adequate means must also
be provided to limit the movement of
the appliance without depending on
the connector, the quick-disconnect
device or its associated piping to limit
the appliance movement.
Connectors must comply with ANSI Z21.69/CAN1
CAN/CGA 6.16 (latest edition) for connectors for
movable gas appliances. Quick-disconnect devices
must comply with ANSI Z21.41/CAN 1 6.9 (or latest
edition) standard for quick-disconnect devices for use
with gas fuel as applicable.
IF DISCONNECTION OF THE RESTRAINT IS
NECESSARY, IT MUST BE RECONNECTED WHEN
THE CUSTOM PASTA
™
SYSTEM IS RETURNED TO
ITS ORIGINALLY INSTALLED POSITION.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Your pasta cooker has been ordered in either 1 phase
or 3 phase by your dealer. All electrical connections
should be made by a licensed electrician. If necessary
this unit can be field changed from 1 phase to 3 phase
or from 3 phase to 1 phase. Have a qualified electrician
refer to the wiring diagram.
ALL ELECTRICAL WIRING LEADING TO THE PASTA
COOKER MUST CONFORM TO LOCAL CODES. BE
SURE THE ON/OFF SWITCH IS IN THE OFF
POSITION BEFORE TURNING THE POWER ON TO
THE PASTA COOKER.
WATER AND DRAIN CONNECTION
The water is to be connected to the 3/8" female pipe
connection on the cabinet back, for auto-fill and the
optional faucet.
Make sure this and all other connections do not leak.
Check your water pressure. The auto-fill system is not
designed to handle pressure greater than 60 psi. Any
pressure greater than this can damage the auto-fill
solenoid or cause the system to fail. If the pressure is
greater than 60 psi a pressure regulator should be
added. 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 Custom Pasta™System.
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 floor
and is designed for the standard dump to drain opening.

III OPERATION
FILLING
NOTE: Before filling the Pasta System make certain the
vessel is sanitized, dry and the drain valve is completely
closed.
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.
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 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
fine tune the settings to fit his specific operation.
CONTROL PANEL FEATURES

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 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.
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-fill
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 fill 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 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 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)
6
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.
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.
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.

IV MAINTENANCE
WARRANTY REPAIRS
Keating’s warranty begins with the date of isntallation.
In the even that your Pasta System, under warranty,
needs repairs other than routine maintenance or
cleaning, you are requested to contact Keating of
Chicago Inc. at 1-800-KEATING before calling a local
service company.
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
Preventive maintenance should be done in daily,
weekly, monthly and yearly intervals as necessary.
Following preventive maintenance procedures will help
keep your Pasta System working efficiently. Proper care
and servicing will lead to years of quality performance.
NOTE: The most important part of any maintenance
program is daily cleaning. Ninety percent of any
maintenance problem is directly or indirectly related to
cleanliness.
NOTE: Water level problems caused by the sensors
not being cleaned adequately will not be covered under
warranty.
NOTE: Use of sodium chloride during the cooking
process will have a detrimental effect on the cooker
vessel and will void the warranty.
*High production facilities should be checked more often.
WHEN THE WATER LEVEL FALLS BELOW THE
BOTTOM WATER SENSOR THE HEATING
ELEMENTS WILL TURN OFF. IF THEY CONTINUE
TO HEAT, TURN THE MAIN POWER SWITCH OFF
AND CHECK AUTO-FILL SYSTEM.
LIMITED CALIBRATION
Calibration is not covered under warranty
A. Calibration
NOTE: This procedure can only be used with the
primary (left side) thermostat. When calibrating the
secondary (right side) thermostat you will need:
• One standard flat blade screwdriver.
• One accurate thermometer suitable for boiling water.
NOTE: For best results, water should be clean.
1. Set thermostat to 212°F(190°C).
2. Allow Pasta System to cycle three times.
3. Place an accurate thermometer in the water.

4. Pre-2000 model: If calibration of thermostat is found
to be less than 15°F(9.44°C) off, simply loosen
three dial plate retaining screws, rotate dial plate to
match thermometer reading and tighten screws.
2000-model: If calibration is found to be less than
15°F (9.44°C) off, remove thermostat knob. Loosen
four screws in thermostat dial plate. Replace knob.
Reset dial plate to match thermometer reading.
Remove knob to tighten screws on dial plate and
replace knob.
If the thermostat is more than 15°F(9.44°C) off then
a qualified service company must be contacted to
have the Pasta System properly calibrated.

B. The Water Auto-Fill and Low Water Safety Shut-
Off Systems
The water supply connection, located at the bottom rear
of the Pasta System and marked water, 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.
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.
Control of the water level is fully automatic with the
auto-fill 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 overflow 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 fill 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.
Figure 4-3 Sensor Tube Location
V SERVICE DIAGNOSIS
THE COOKER MUST BE DISCONNECTED FROM
ITS POWER SOURCE OR SHUT DOWN AT THE
BREAKER PRIOR TO SERVICE.
AUTO-FILL SYSTEM
The auto-fill 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 fill 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 field
wire box.
THIS ADJUSTMENT IS DONE PRIOR TO SHIPMENT
AT THE FACTORY. IT SHOULD ONLY BE ADJUSTED
BY A QUALIFIED SERVICE TECHNICIAN.
The potentionmeter 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 fill 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.

COMMON PROBLEMS SOLUTIONS (FOLLOW IN SEQUENCE)
Water always filling 1. Clean sensors thoroughly with brush and vinegar.
2. Adjust the sensitivity of the B Board (for the top sensor) fully clockwise.
3. If filling persists, ground out the top sensor (if filling stops, replace sensor –
Part #010212).
4. If filling persists after grounding the sensor, replace the B Board (Part
#001166).
Water never fills 1. Turn water switch (far right) ‘on.’
2. Clean sensors thoroughly with the brush and vinegar.
3. Adjust the sensitivity of the B Board (for the top sensor) fully counter
clockwise (follow sevice instruction sheet - Setting Water Level Control).
4. Remove the wire from the top sensor. If filling begins, replace sensor (Part #
010212).
5. If water does not fill, place a jumper wire across terminals A & C on the B
Board. If filling begins, replace B Board (Part # 001166).
6. If water does not fill, replace water solenoid (Part # 008133).
Timers counting down in the
wrong mode (not minutes or
seconds)
1. Reset the timer (see pages 8-9).
Water leaking in the rear of
the pasta cooker
1. Replace fill hose (Part #037390 – sold per foot)
Breakers continue to trip 1. Ensure all wires to the contactors, breakers and elements are tight.
2. Verify water is not getting on any components.
3. Check contactors for proper operation.
4. Check continuity of heating elements.
5. Replace breaker.
Heating elements won’t
come on
1. Verify operating instructions in the manual.
2. Clean sensors with brush and vinegar.
3. Adjust sensitivity of the A Board (for the lower sensor) fully clockwise (follow
service instruction sheet - Setting Water Level Control).
4. Place the wire attached to the lower sensor to the ground (if heating begins,
replace sensor – Part #010212).
5. If heating does not being, place a jumper wire across terminals A&C on the A
Board. If heating begins, replace the A Board (Part #001167).
