WATER QUALITY

The water supply connected to this pasta cooker should contain no more than 2.0 grains of hardness per gallon with pH from 6.5 to 8.0. This degree of hardness and pH can easily be obtained with the use of a properly maintained water softener.

Water supplies vary from one location to another. A local water treatment specialist should be consulted before installing the pasta cooker.

Untreated water contains scale producing minerals which can precipitate onto the surfaces in the cooker and its components. This can result in early component failure and reduced product life.

Strainers and filters will NOT remove minerals from the water. Refer to DELIMING in this manual.

DRAIN CONNECTIONS

The pasta cooker 1" NPT Discharge Drain Pipe must be connected to the floor drain of the installation site.

An alternate rear drain diverter method may also be used. It is recommended that when using the diverter method a 1" capped tee be installed for ease of cleaning. This method entails 1" pipe and fittings from the discharge at the front of the unit to a rear drain. It will be necessary to use a combination of 1" tee, elbows and nipples to access the drain location (the installer must determine what will be required).
