CHAPTER 6: SERVICE PROCEDURES
6.1Functional Description of Electric Cookers 8SMS, 8BC and 8C
Electric Cookers 8SMS, 8BC, and 8C contain an extruded stainless steel cookpot that holds 8.7 gallons (33 liters) of water. The water in the cookpot is heated by an
On units without the Autofill (automatic filling) option, when the controller is turned on by pressing the Power switch, logic circuits in the controller check for water in the cookpot by looking for a grounded
On units equipped with the Autofill option, a logic circuit in the controller automatically opens a solenoid valve on the water supply line if the upper water level sensor is not grounded by contact with the water in the cookpot. When the Power switch is pressed, if the water level is below the upper water level sensor, water is automatically added to the cookpot. When sufficient water has been added to cover the heating element, the unit automatically enters the BOIL mode and remains there unless the operator presses the SIMMER mode switch or turns the unit off. When the water level in the cookpot contacts the upper water level sensor, the solenoid valve in the water supply line closes.
On units equipped with the Autoskim (automatic skimming) option, when the Skim switch is pressed, a logic circuit in the controller automatically opens the solenoid valve in the water supply line for three seconds every minute until the option is turned off by again pressing the Skim switch.
The operator enters a specified cooking time by pressing the number pads on the controller. When the Start switch is pressed, the controller begins to count down to zero. When the controller times out, an alarm sounds briefly, then the timer reverts to the last time entered.
On units equipped with basket lifts (8SMS or 8BC), when the Start switch is pressed to start the cooking cycle, logic circuits in the controller activate the basket lift motor, lowering the baskets into the cookpot. As the motor drives the basket lift down, a
