Voltages, types of connection and versions

Electrical connection
The electrical connection of the machine must be completed by an electrician or a qualified person who can ensure that the installation meets the required standards. Proceed as follows:

• Check that the specifications of the electrical mains correspond to those given on the rating plate. (This plate is located on the inside of the door.)
• Connect according to IEC or CEI 335-1 standards and local regulations.
• The plug must be accessible after installing the pasta cooker. We recommend connecting the pasta cooker to a fault-current protective switch (for machines which exceeds 10mA of leakage current).
• For permanent installation: connect to a main switch with all the poles isolated; minimum distance of the contacts 3 mm.
• Equipotential bonding point
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

Water / waste water connection

• The water inlet is located on the bottom of the pasta cooker via a ¾” G male threaded connection.
• The waste water is at the bottom of the unit and should either go into a suitable receptacle or floor level drain

SAFETY REGULATIONS

The following warning symbols are fitted to the pastacooker as appropriate:

High voltage

• Warning of dangerous electrical voltage. Electric shocks lead to serious injury or death.
• Only authorized specialist personnel may carry out work on electrical installations.

• Always disconnect the pastacooker from the mains power before carrying out work on electrical installations.

Hot surfaces / hot internal components

Advice
The manufacturer has mounted warning symbols (stickers) at all the relevant positions on the pastacooker before delivery. If during operation or within the scope of cleaning work any of these warning symbols become detached the operator of the pastacooker is obliged to apply these warning symbols again immediately!

Specified use of the pastacooker
The pastacooker must not be used as a fryer. The pastacooker is exclusively authorized for supervised operation. Any other use of the pastacooker is regarded as non-specified. The observance of the operating manual and the following of the maintenance and repair instructions from the manufacturer are also part of the specified use.

Specific dangers and instructions
CAUTION

• Comply always with the batch sizes and volumes recommended on this manual. Never clean the submerged heater element with a steel brush or by burning off (dry operation). Verifiable improper cleaning of the submerged heater will lead to the exclusion of all guarantees.
• It is recommended, at the end of the work, to use a water and vinegar solution at 10% for cleaning the pastacooker, in particular the vat, and the heating element. After washing, rinse thoroughly with clean water. Personnel safety

WARNING

• If incorrectly operated, the pastacooker can cause serious or fatal injuries to personnel. The personnel who operate and maintain the pastacooker must be trained in the correct operation and handling of the appliance and must have read and understood the safety regulations in this operating manual before starting work on or with it.
• Never change or remove safety devices. Do not switch off safety devices by making changes to the pastacooker. Never remove warning symbols which may have been fitted to the pastacooker (depending upon country). Immediately replace missing or defective warning symbols.
• Never operate the pastacooker in a damaged condition. Report immediately any irregularities, especially those which affect safety, to your managers.

INSTALLATION AND STARTING UP

Installation of the floor standing appliance
When installing the machine, please take into consideration the following points:

• The pastacooker has to stand level and its height can be changed by using the adjustable legs (Between 850mm min. and 900mm)
• Minimum distance between the back of the pastacooker and a wall or another device is 30 mm.
• The pastacooker should not stand on an inflammable surface. Please comply with local safety and construction regulations.

Installation of built-in unit.

1. Installation of the tank.

   • The stainless steel hobtop requires a cutout to the sizes below

   • The frame supplied should be welded to the hobtop and sealed with silicone sealant to make it water-proof (see picture below). The drain cutout detail is for the base of the unit.

2. Pressure switch
   There is a pressure switch supplied that forms part of the interlock circuit and this should be mounted to the chassis above the metal pressure pipe to prevent water getting trapped in the silicone pipe.

3. Control panel

   • The control panel may be either fitted on the supplied metal panel to a cutout as shown below or the components can be mounted direct to the fascia plate.

   • Connect the tank drain to a suitable drain observing local water regulations.

4. Inlet solenoid
   The inlet solenoid is supplied with a mounting plate. The cutout required for it is shown below. The inlet connector is ¾” BSP
