INSTALLATION AND COMMISSIONING

Install this appliance on a level surface ensuring all vents are unobstructed. Any partitions, walls or furniture must be of non-combustible material. Minimum distances A 100mm B 1000mm – see Fig 1.

Do not install adjacent to any appliance with hot oil or similar, such as a fryer.
Install this appliance beneath an extraction canopy.

Electrical connection

This appliance must be earthed.
An equipotential bonding terminal is provided to allow cross bonding with other equipment.
Cable colours are as follows:
Green and Yellow wire Earth E
Blue wire Neutral N
Brown wire Live L

Means of isolation with at least 3mm contact separation in all poles must be incorporated into the fixed wiring of this appliance.
The fixed wiring insulation must be protected by insulated sleeving having a temperature rating of at least 60 Deg C.
Supply cords shall be oil resistant, sheathed flexible cable not lighter than ordinary polychloroprene or equivalent elastomer sheathed cord (code 60245 IEC 57).
Access to the electrical supply connections is made via the terminal inlet at the rear of the appliance.

Water supply and waste
Connection to the mains water supply is made at the rear of the appliance.
Maximum water inlet pressures are 8 bar – 800 kPa.
The waste pipe of the appliance should be connected to a main drain via a Tun- dish.
Fit the lid handle to the lid.

Operational check
Commissioning should include a full functional check of the operation of the appliance. Following the Operating Instructions, fill the tank, set the energy regulator to maximum and allow the water to heat up.
Ensure that the operator understands how to safely operate, shutdown and clean the appliance, and is made aware of the isolating switches/valves for electricity and water.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Only qualified or trained personnel should use this appliance. Before first use
Ensure the water drain tap is closed. Clean the tanks thoroughly with a warm mild detergent solution.
Drain the tanks, rinse the tanks, drain taps and pipes and dry. Close the drain taps. A Water inlet
B Water level marker
C Heater control
D Mode control
E Green neon
F Amber neon
G Off position

Operation

Check the drain tap is closed.
Fit the basket drainer ‘K’ onto the support pins in the side of the tank.
Position the basket support ‘J’ in the base of the tank, ensuring cut-outs line up with element positions.
Turn on the power supply at the isolating switch; the green neon will illuminate indicating power to the appliance.
The appliance is fitted with a pressure switch, and will only operate when the tank is filled to the maximum level.
Never fill the tank whilst the elements are hot as this will damage the appliance.
Turn the mode control ‘D’ to the water fill position ‘I’, fill the tank to the level marker ‘B’ on the tank rear wall. Water will be dispensed via the water inlet ‘A’. When at the correct level turn the mode control to ‘J’ and rotate the heater control ‘C’ to the desired setting – the amber neon will illuminate indicating power to the element.

There is a range of 1-6 settings, with constant power position beyond the ‘6’ setting.
When the set temperature is reached, the element will cycle on and off to maintain temperature.
Turn the mode control to the working position ‘H’ this will allow a constant flow of water to help remove the starch as the product is cooking.
Skim the excess starch towards the trough below the basket support with a suitable spatula.
Introduce baskets of pasta, positioning onto basket support, and cook as per manufacturer’s instructions. Note that overloading the baskets reduces the appliances recovery times and output, and will result in uneven cooking. It also increases the risk of surge boiling – the water may suddenly boil over when the basket is placed into the tank.

Bain marie operation

Replace the basket drainer ‘K’ with the gastronorm support ‘L’, (Fig 3).
Position gastronorm pans onto top of tank, cover produce with lids.
For steaming operations, use perforated gastronorm pans and lids (see Accessories).
Safety cutout
This appliance is fitted with safety cutout thermostats which will shut the appliance down in the event of a fault. If the appliance fails to heat when the control knob is set to a heating position, the safety cut-outs may require resetting. Disconnect the appliance from the supply, allow to cool for at least 20 minutes and then reset the exposed buttons indicated in Fig 4.
Once reset, reconnect to supply and operate as normal. If the appliance still fails to operate, consult one of our recommended Service Engineers.
Shutdown
To turn the appliance off, rotate both control knobs to the ‘Off’ position and turn off the electrical supply at the isolator. Draining the tank

Isolate the appliance from the supply and allow the water to cool to a maximum of 55 Deg C.
Open the drain tap (Fig 4) and allow the water to drain.
Close the drain tap ready for further use.

CLEANING

Do not use a water jet or steam cleaner, and do not immerse this appliance.
Clean all panels with warm water and mild detergent, do not use abrasive materials or cleaners containing chlorine. Dry with a soft cloth.

Cleaning the tanks

Food debris can be a health risk – ensure that all debris is removed from the tanks after use.
Wash the tanks, top surface of the hob, basket drainer, overflow cover, basket support and pan support with a warm detergent solution.
Rinse out the tank and flush away any traces of detergent.
Close the drain tap, replace the basket drainer, overflow cover, batter plate and pan support.
Refill the tank with fresh water.

De-scaling

The formation of scale within a hot water system is common, and if left unchecked may cause problems to the functioning of the appliance. Check regularly for scale build up – allow the appliance to cool before carrying out inspection for scale.
De-scale regularly using an approved de-scaling compound such as can be supplied by Lincat (Code DP10). Do not use hydrochloric acid based de-scaling compounds on stainless steel.
To de-scale the appliance, fill with water to the indicated level.
Turn on the control thermostat and allow the water to boil. Turn the thermostat off.
Add the de-scaling compound a little at a time following the manufacturer’s instructions. Allow the froth to subside. Turn the appliance on full again.
Heat up for 30 minutes and allow the water to cool. Repeat the process if necessary.
Isolate the appliance from the supply, drain the tank and rinse with clean water.
