2. OPERATION
2.1. FILLING THE APPLIANCE
2.1.1. 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. If the drain line hose is connected, ensure that the drain
valve is closed.
2. Fill the tank with water until the water reaches the water level line(s), verify that the water
level is above the low water level sensors. The unit may not operate properly if the low
water level sensor is not sufficiently covered with water.
2.2. APPLIANCE START UP
Refer to the following procedure to start the appliance prior to operation.
1. If the drain hose is connected, ensure that the drain valve is closed.
2. Fill the cook tank with water. (See section 2.1 “Filling the Appliance”)
3. Press the power switch to the position. Releasing the switch return to the On (I) position.
4. The appliance is now on and heating the water in the cook tank.
2.2.1. High Temperature Limit Switch
The appliance is equipped with an auto-reset
High Temperature Limit switch. The High
Temperature Limit switch will interrupt power to
the element if the internal cook tank reaches an
unsafe temperature. This is to protect the
appliance in the event the water is drained from
the tank while the unit is on, or if the appliance is
left unattended for an extended period of time
allowing the water to boil or evaporate out of the
tank. To reset the switch, refer to Section 4.2.
2.2.2. Liquid Level Control Sensor
The appliance is equipped with a Liquid Level
Safety Control that will interrupt power to the element if the water level is below the fill line. This is
to protect the appliance in the event the water is drained from the tank while the unit is on, or if
the appliance is left unattended for an extended period of time allowing the water to boil or
evaporate below the Liquid Level Sensors, (See Photo at Right). A warning lamp on the front of
the unit alerts the operator that the water level is too low. To restart the appliance, refer to Section
4.3.
