2.4. COOKING
It is important to keep the cook tank full of water to minimize the chance of boiling the appliance dry and to keep the water at a level that will provide optimum cooking performance. To keep the water at its normal operating temperature, it is best to add water in small amounts. If the appliance is equipped with manual water fill, it is recommended that the fill knobs are set so that water enters the tank slowly during cooking.
WARNING
Dry fired elements are extremely hot, will shorten its service life and may void your warranty.
2.4.1.SIMMER MODE
Simmer mode maintains the water temperature to just below boiling. This mode can be used to reheat pasta or as a “stand by” mode.
To enter simmer mode:
Models with electric thermostat: Press the boil/simmer switch to the simmer position.
All other Models: Press the | * button until |
* is displayed.
If you are not ready to cook, enter simmer mode. This will conserve energy and keep water in the tank longer then when in boil mode.
