NOTICES

There are three different types of notices that you should be familiar with; a NOTICE, CAUTION,
and WARNING. A NOTICE is a special note used to call attention to a particularly important point.
CAUTION is used to point out a procedure or operation which may cause equipment damage. The
WARNING notice is the most important of the three because it warns of an operation that may cause
personal injury. Please familiarize yourself with your new cooker before operating it and heed the
notices throughout this manual. The WARNINGS are listed below and on the following pages for
your review prior to operating the cooker.

WARNING: Improper installation, adjustment,

Chapter 3: Service, Maintenance, And Adjustments

This chapter provides the qualified technician with the troubleshooting and replacement procedures
necessary to service the counter top cooker. If your cooker does not perform properly after
performing maintenance, contact your authorized service center. For repair, maintenance, or an
explanation of any procedure, contact your dealer, local service company, the factory representative
in your area, or the factory.

WARNING

The power supply must be disconnected before servicing or cleaning the cooker.

3.1 THERMOSTAT CALIBRATION

The Pasta Perfect cooker is equipped with a thermostat that controls the heating element when the
FUNCTION SELECT switch is in the SIMMER position. This thermostat should be set at
approximately 195°F. To change the thermostat setting, use the following procedure:

a. Place an accurate mercury thermometer in the center of the cooking tank with the bulb

approximately 3" below the surface of the water. Allow enough time for the thermometer to
stabilize.

b. Using a flat tip screwdriver, turn the shaft on the thermostat clockwise to decrease the

temperature setting; turn the shaft counterclockwise to increase the temperature setting. The
thermostat is located on the lower right front wall of the tank. The shaft should not need to
be turned more than 1/4 turn to adjust the temperature setting.

CAUTION

DO NOT turn the adjusting shaft more than two (2) turns in either direction.

3.2 CHECKING AND REPLACING FUSES

A general purpose ohmmeter or continuity checker is needed to check the heating element fuses. It
is recommended that a qualified technician check the fuses. Use the following procedures to check
and replace fuses:

3-1

WARNING

DANGER - HIGH VOLTAGE PRESENT

NEVER remove fuses from the cooker until the cooker is unplugged
from the facility power supply.

a. To check and replace heating element fuses:

1. Unplug the cooker from facility power source.

2. Remove screw to fuse access door on back panel of the cooker.

3. The heating element fuses are mounted in a fuse holder located behind the rear access
panel.

4. Remove each fuse by gently pulling the fuse straight out of the holder using a fuse
puller.

5. Use an ohmmeter set on "x 1" ohms (resistance) setting to check the fuses for
continuity. For a GOOD fuse, the meter reading should be approximately zero "0"
ohms. If the reading is significantly above zero ohms, replace the fuse.

6. Replace each fuse by pushing the fuse straight into the fuseholder until it locks in
place.

7. Lower fuse access door.

8. Replace screw and tighten.

9. Plug the cooker into the facility power source.

3-2

3.3 REPLACEMENT PROCEDURES

These procedures are provided as a guide to removal and replacement of various cooker components.
If a test is required to verify component operation after installation, the test will be referenced.

WARNING

To prevent burns, always ensure the cooker is completely SHUT DOWN and
COOLED down before performing any work.

WARNING

The power supply must be disconnected before servicing or cleaning the
cooker.

when working with the capillary tubing. The limit control is no longer usable
if the tubing is kinked or broken.

a. Disconnect the cooker from the facility power source.

b. Drain the water from the cooker and remove the element rack assembly.

c. The limit control probe (heat sensor) is clamped to the heating element inside the tank.

e. Unscrew the small hex nut inside the cabinet at the front of the tank for the limit control.

f. Unscrew the large connector nut from the tank and pull the probe and capillary tubes

through the opening.

g. Remove the two mounting screws from the limit control bracket and remove the limit

control unit, located behind the front panel.

h. Install a new limit control unit by connecting the wires.

i. Place the limit control unit in the limit control bracket.

small nut.

m. Install the large connector nut on the tank and tighten.

n. Carefully reshape the capillary tubes.

o. Place the probe in the clamp.

p. Rescrew the two screws into the probe clamp.

m. Reconnect the wires.

n. Replace the limit control bulb clamp.

o. Replace the element support bar.

p. Reinstall the front panel.

q. Reconnect the cooker to the power source.

3.4 TESTING RELAYS AND CONTACTORS

Contactors and relays use a control voltage to energize an electro magnet which closes a set of
contacts. The control voltage is applied to a solenoid type coil. When measuring a coil's resistance,
ensure the coil is disconnected from the cooker's electrical system. This will ensure that only the coil's
resistance is measured and not a part of the cooker's wiring. When measured with an Ohmmeter,
these coils should have low resistance of less than 100 ohms. Measure each of the contactors that
are suspect. If any relay or contactor coil indicates an open circuit or high amount of resistance,
replace the relay or contactor.

3.5 TESTING HEATING ELEMENTS

To test a heating element, place the POWER switch in the OFF position. Test the elements by
performing the following steps:

a. The terminal block that connects the heating element to the cooker is located behind the

front panel.

b. Use an ohmmeter to check the continuity of the element from one end to the other. The

reading should be very low (a few ohms). If the element indicates an open circuit, replace
the element.

c. Next check from the hot side of the element to ground. The reading should be infinite.

If it is not, replace the element.

3.6 TESTING THE THERMOSTAT

To test the thermostat, place the power switch in the OFF position. Test the thermostat by performing
the following:

a. Remove the front panel to access the thermostat wires.

3-6

b. Use an ohmmeter to measure the continuity across thew thermostat wires.

c. The thermostat should be closed (0 ohms) below 195°F and open (× ohms) above

195°F.

d. If the thermostat is defective, replace it.

e. Reinstall the front panel.

f. Reconnect the cooker to the facility power source.
