Filling the Tank

NOTE: Tank capacity - 40 Ltrs of water.

1. Before filling the tank, always check that the drain valve behind the door is closed. A locking slide is
provided on the valve and this should always be locked in position during use.

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:

• Maintained water level for cooking.

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

residue.
