The fill port spray nozzle allows the operator to see the tank filling with water. The fill port spray nozzle also forces the foam and starch debris over to the skim hole where the operator can skim off starches and any unwanted debris while the tank is filling with fresh water.
To start filling the cooker tank, turn the left (hot) black manual fill valve handle on the front of the control panel counterclockwise to the open position. To fill the rinse station side, use the right (cold) black manual fill valve handle. Water will begin to fill into the tank through the fill port spray nozzle.
Note that the GPC12 will have only one valve handle for hot water fill of the cooker. The GPC12S will have a hot and a cold valve handle (Fig. 15). The left handle of the GPC12S controls hot water flow to the cooker and the right handle controls cold water flow to the rinse station. To stop flow and close valve(s), turn handle(s) clockwise.
Be sure proper water level is maintained. Add water if necessary.
