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