2.2. FILLING THE APPLIANCE

2.2.1.FILLING THE COOKER TANK

It is recommended that the cooker tank is filled with hot water. This will greatly decrease the time it takes for the appliance to reach operating temperature. Refer to the following procedure to fill the cook tank prior to operation.

CAUTION

This appliance is not designed for cooking with oil. Fill with potable water only.

1.Ensure that the drain valve is closed.

2.Fill the tank with water until the water reaches the water level line(s).

WARNING

Water must completely cover the heating elements at all times while appliance is on.

2.2.2.FILLING THE RINSE TANK

Once pasta is cooked to the desired doneness it will continue to cook after being removed from the cook tank until its internal temperature is lowered. Submerging the pasta in cold water or rinsing it with cold water will lower the pasta’s internal temperature and stop the cooking process. Rinsing or submerging will also prevent sticking and remove dissolved starch. If the appliance is equipped with a rinse tank, it may be filled with cold (or ice) water for submerging the pasta after it leaves the cook tank. Refer to the following procedure to fill the cook tank prior to operation.

1.Ensure that the drain valve is closed.

2.Fill the tank with cold water (and ice if desired) until the water reaches the water level line(s). If the rinse tank does not have level lines, fill the tank so that the water is 4 inches (10.16cm) below the overflow. The tank can be filled up beyond the desired level but water may be lost through the overflow once pasta is placed into the tank.
