Water Capacity

SSPG14

Cook Station

12 Gals. (45.5 Ltr.)

SSRS14

Rinse Station

10 Gals. (37.9 Ltr.)

1.Ensure that the drain valve is closed, See Figure 3.

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

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 into 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, Drain handle has the same closed position as the cook station.

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.

2.3. APPLIANCE START UP

Refer to the following procedure to start the appliance prior to operation.

1.Ensure that the drain valve is closed, See Figure 3.

2.Fill the cook tank with water. (See section 2.2.1 “Filling the Appliance”)

3.Light the appliance. (See section 1.9.2 “Lighting Instructions”)

4.The appliance is now on and heating the water in the cook tank.

5.Press the ON/OFF (I/O) Button once to Toggle to between Boil and Simmer Mode, see Sections 2.4.1 and 2.4.2.

WARNING

NEVER operate the appliance with an empty cook tank. It may void the warranty. Adding water after the heat tubes have been heated may cause injuries from hot splattering liquids and steam.

WARNING

Water must completely cover the heat tubes at

all times while appliance is on.

*The specified button may appear slightly different than shown. Refer to the operator’s manual for your appliance’s specific control type to determine the exact appearance of each button and display.
