INSTALLATION 1.6. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS It is advised that this appliance be plugged into a wall receptacle that is controlled by the ventilation control. This will prevent the appliance from being operated without the ventilator on. If your appliance requires an electrical connection, the power requirements are listed below. Input Voltage Current/Unit Electrical Requirements North America International 120 VAC, 50/60 Hz 220,230 or 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz 1.0 Amp(s) 0.
SSPG14: Floor Model High Efficiency Gas Pasta Cooker INSTALLATION WARNING Ensure that your ventilation system does not cause a down draft at the appliance’s flue opening. A down draft will not allow the appliance to exhaust properly and will cause overheating, which may cause permanent damage. Damage caused by down drafts will not be covered by the warranty. NEVER allow anything to obstruct the flow of combustion air or ventilation air entering or exiting the appliance.
INSTALLATION 1.9. INITIAL ADJUSTMENTS After your appliance has been properly installed as described in the installation section of this manual, it will need to be adjusted to ensure that it will perform as designed. A qualified person must perform these adjustments. To perform these adjustments the following tools will be needed: • Manometer(WC”) • Digital Thermometer (Temperature Probe) • Voltmeter 1.9.1. FILLING THE APPLIANCE Refer to the following procedure to fill the cook tank prior to operation. 1.
INSTALLATION SSPG14: Floor Model High Efficiency Gas Pasta Cooker 1.9.3. SELF CLEANING BURNER SYSTEM The Self Cleaning Burner System (SCBS) is a self contained system inside your appliance which operates automatically once each time the appliance is turned “ON”. The Pitco Self Cleaning Burner System is designed to help maintain proper operation and efficiency of your appliance’s combustion system by minimizing the build up of any foreign material inside the burner housings.
INSTALLATION 1.9.5. MAIN BURNER SYSTEM ADJUSTMENT For the main burners to operate the manual gas supply valve (1, Figure 2) must be open, the gas valve control knob (5, Figure 2) must be on, and the appliance must be turned on by the digital control (4, Figure 1). The main burners receive gas from the main gas supply through the thermostatically controlled gas valve. When the water temperature drops below the preset temperature the gas control valve opens.
SSPG14: Floor Model High Efficiency Gas Pasta Cooker INSTALLATION CAUTION DO NOT leave the appliance unattended during cleaning. Never let the water level go below the heat tubes. WARNING Wear protective gloves and clothing when cleaning and draining the appliance and when disposing of water. The water is extremely hot and can cause severe injuries. CAUTION Be careful not to disturb the probe and high temperature limit during operation and cleaning of this appliance. 1.10.
OPERATION 2. OPERATION An operator’s manual for your appliance’s specific control type should be included with this manual. Refer to that manual prior to operating this appliance. 2.1. OPERATIONAL FEATURES The diagram below outlines some of the key operational components of your appliance, see Figure 3. Refer to the following sections of this manual to learn more about these features. 1. Cook Tank 2. Controller (Digital 2 Button Control) Controls the water temperature inside the cook tank.
OPERATION SSPG14: Floor Model High Efficiency Gas Pasta Cooker FIGURE 3 L20-331, rev.
OPERATION 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. WARNING Water must completely cover the heat tubes at all times while appliance is on. Model SSPG14 SSRS14 CAUTION This appliance is not designed for cooking with oil. Fill with potable water only.
OPERATION SSPG14: Floor Model High Efficiency Gas Pasta Cooker 2.4. COOKING It is important to keep the cook tank full of water to minimize the chance of boiling the appliance dry and to keep the water at a level that will provide optimum cooking performance. To keep the water at its normal operating temperature, it is best to add water in small amounts. WARNING Dry fired heat tubes are extremely hot, will shorten its service life and may void your warranty. 2.4.1.
OPERATION 2.4.6. MANUAL WATER FILL If the appliance is equipped with manual water fill or mixing valve, it is recommended that the knob is set so that water enters the tank slowly during cooking. Turn the knob counterclockwise to increase the flow of water into the tank. Some appliances are equipped with a regulated mixing valve where the left knob is for regular filling and the right knob has a regulated flow rate specifically for refilling the tank during cooking and reheating.
SSPG14: Floor Model High Efficiency Gas Pasta Cooker PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE 3. PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE 3.1. DAILY PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE Performing the preventative maintenance steps below on a daily basis will keep your equipment safe and at peak performance. During the cooking process, starch build up will form on the temperature probes, and the inner surfaces of the tank. If you are producing high quantities of pasta it may be necessary to clean these components more then once a day.
PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE 3.2. MONTHLY PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE Water can leave mineral deposits inside the tank. Performing the monthly preventative maintenance steps below will keep your equipment safe and at peak performance. If you are producing high quantities of pasta or your water is heavily mineral based, then it may be necessary to clean these components more then once a month. 3.2.1. DE-LIMING 1. Read the “operation” section of this manual prior to filling or operating the appliance. 2.
SSPG14: Floor Model High Efficiency Gas Pasta Cooker PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE 3.3.4. TANK Verify that the tank is in good condition. Check for scale build up and inspect for signs of corrosion. Verify that tank is leak free. Check drain overflow for scale build up and debris blockage. 3.3.5. DRAIN SYSTEM Verify that drain valve is in good condition. Check for leaks in the seal area and fitting region. Verify that drain lines are leak free, kink free and in good condition.
TROUBLESHOOTING 4. TROUBLESHOOTING 4.1. POWER FAILURE If electric power is removed for any reason, the appliance will shut down.
