CHAPTER 1: SERVICE PROCEDURES Functional Description The Pasta Magic GWC Gas Cookers have a 12.7-gallon (48.1-liter) stainless steel cookpot. The water in the cookpot is heated by a high-efficiency infrared heating system that requires approximately 43% less energy than conventional burner systems to heat the same volume of water.

The SIMMER mode feature maintains the water temperature just below boiling, which conserves energy and water. This feature is designed for rethermalizing previously cooked packaged products and for keeping the cooker in standby. The SKIM function on this cooker is manual. The purpose is to cause the water in the cookpot to overflow into the drain, carrying floating starch with it.
A thermostat monitors the temperature in the cookpot. When the setpoint temperature is reached, the contacts open, which de-energizes the 24VAC heat relay, thus cutting line voltage to the blower and the 24VAC to the ignition module. Accessing Equipment for Servicing DANGER Moving this equipment while it is filled with hot water may cause spilling or splattering of the hot water.
