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. Replacement brushes can be ordered under part number 009297.
CAUTION
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.
CAUTION
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.
WARNING
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.
