Fig 2

NOTE: Tank capacity - 40 Ltrs of water.

1. Before filling the tank, always check that the drain valve behind the access door is closed. A locking

slide is provided on the valve and this should always be locked in position during use. (See Fig 3
and 4 in the ‘Cleaning and Maintenance’ section).

2. Turn the water supply 'On'. Open the appliance water valve and fill the tank with water.

3. The water level will remain at a constant height as there is an overflow at the front of the tank.

4. During cooking, the water level will reduce as it evaporates as steam when boiling and when it

overflows as loaded baskets are dropped into the tank.

5. To maintain the correct water level, the water tap should be adjusted to give a water flow out of the

water supply nozzle that just causes water to continually flow out of the overflow.

This method provides:

• A maintained water level for cooking.

• Skimming or flushing effect to prevent the cooking water becoming gummed up with pasta

residue.

Operation

Operating the Pasta Cooker

C

AUTION

2. Check that the electrical supply is turned ‘On’ at the mains supply.

3. Select the ‘power’ level on the element control knob to either Simmer / Boil / or Rapid as required.
The ‘green’ power indicator will illuminate.

4. Rotate the thermostat knob to the desired temperature. The ‘amber’ heating indicator will illuminate
until the temperature is reached.

NOTE: It will take approximately 28 minutes to heat the water in the tank from 20°C to 100°C. (This

time has been calculated for the PC8140E Pasta Cooker that is fitted with the 10.5kW
element).

Turning 'Off' the Pasta Cooker

1. Rotate the element control knob to the ‘O’ position, to turn ‘Off’ the pasta cooker.

2. The ‘green’ power indicator and the ‘amber’ heating indicators will extinguish.

C

AUTION

:

Always turn off the electrical supply at the mains supply before cleaning.

This appliance is not water proof.

Do not use water jet spray to clean interior or exterior of this appliance.

Clean the pasta cooker regularly. A clean pasta cooker looks better, will last longer and will perform
better. A dirty pasta cooker will hinder the transfer of heat from the cooking surface to the food.
This will result in loss of cooking efficiency and food quality.

C

AUTION

:

If cleaning detergents are allowed to enter the inner parts of the appliance,
rusting will occur on the pipe work, installation elements, heating
elements, gas fittings and electrical components, this will cause premature
failure of the appliance.

NOTE:

• DO NOT clean the appliance using high pressure water or steam jets.

• DO NOT pour water directly over the appliance.

• DO NOT use wire brushes. Clean the pan regularly after each use.

• DO NOT use combustible liquids to clean the appliance.

• DO NOT use harsh abrasive detergents, sharp scrapers, strong solvents or caustic

detergents as they will damage the appliance.

• DO NOT use any chloric or bleaching detergents to clean the appliance.

• Ensure that any detergent or cleaning material has been completely removed after

each cleaning operation.

• DO NOT use saline or sulfuric acid preparations for descaling the appliance.

• Ensure that protective gloves are worn during the cleaning process.

• Clean the pan regularly after each use.

Draining and Cleaning

Opening the Drain Valve

a. Unlock the locking slide on the valve handle by pushing the locking slide away from the valve

body to release the valve handle (See Fig 3) and rotate the valve handle downwards
(anticlockwise) to open the drain valve (See Fig 4).

b. On completion of the draining and cleaning operation, to close the valve, ensure that the locking

slide is in the unlocked position (See Fig 4) and rotate the valve handle upwards (clockwise) to
close the drain valve.

c. When the valve is closed, slide the locking slide back over the valve handle to prevent accidental

opening of the valve.

NOTE: The valve handle can be secured in the locked position by inserting a padlock through the

holes in the locking handle and locking slide to prevent the valve handle from being
inadvertently opened.

ASTA COOKER.

P

1. The water should be drained and re-filled regularly. Open the drain valve slowly to minimise

splashing. Waste water will drain into the tundish fitted below the appliance drain outlet.

2. When the tank is empty, open the drain valve fully and check for any particles or residue lodged in

the valve. Clean out with a stiff nylon brush. Do not use a wire brush or metal rods as these
damage the seating in the valve and will eventually lead to valve leakage.

3. If the obstruction in the valve cannot be removed with a brush, use a wooden probe to dislodge any

obstruction.

4. Clean the control panel using a damp cloth lightly moistened with a solution of mild detergent and
hot water. Dry the control panel thoroughly using a dry clean cloth.

5. Clean the interior and exterior of the pasta cooker regularly at the end of each day. Do not use wire
brushes on the pan. Clean using a mild detergent and a hot water solution using soft cloth or a soft
bristled brush. Dry the appliance thoroughly using a dry clean cloth.

P

NOTE:

• If the pasta cooker usage is very high, we recommend that the weekly cleaning
procedure is carried out on a more frequent basis.

• Ensure that protective gloves are worn during the cleaning process.

• DO NOT use harsh abrasive detergents, strong solvents, sharp scrapers or caustic

detergents as they will damage the surface of the pasta cooker.

• Ensure that the water circuit is free of ferrous particles. Any such particles deposited
in the bottom of the tank may cause it to rust.

Thoroughly clean the interior and exterior of the pasta cooker regularly. Do not use wire brushes on the
pan. Clean using a mild detergent and a hot water solution using soft cloth or a soft bristled brush. Dry
the appliance thoroughly using a dry clean cloth.

NOTE: In order to prevent the forming of rust on the steel components, ensure that the detergent

or cleaning material has been entirely removed after each cleaning process.

Stainless Steel Surfaces

a. Clean the control panel with a damp lightly moistened cloth using hot water and a mild detergent

solution. Note that the gas control knobs are a push fit onto the gas and water control valve
spindles and can be removed to allow cleaning of the front of the control panel.

b. Clean the interior and exterior surfaces of the pasta cooker with hot water, a mild detergent

solution and a soft scrubbing brush.

c. Baked on deposits or discolouration may require a good quality stainless steel cleaner or stainless

steel wool. Always apply cleaner when the appliance is cold and rub in the direction of the grain.

d. Dry all components thoroughly with a dry cloth and polish with a soft dry cloth.

Periodic Maintenance

NOTE: All maintenance operations should only be carried out by a qualified service person.

To achieve the best results cleaning must be regular and thorough and all controls and mechanical parts
should be checked and adjusted periodically by a qualified service person. If any small faults occur, have
them attended to promptly. Don't wait until they cause a complete breakdown. It is recommended that
the appliance is serviced every 6 months.

If the appliance is not used for long periods, disconnect the mains supply to the pasta cooker and clean
the appliance thoroughly.

The appliance should be inspected by an authorized service person at least every 6 months.
