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 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

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”)
