Basic Functions
When in the BOIL mode, the burners are lit at all times. It is used when actually cooking pasta.
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 buildup of starch reduces the efficiency
of the cooker and can cause erroneous temperature and water level sensing.) NOTE: Do not use
deliming solution to clean these units. Use of deliming solution will damage all stainless steel parts.)
To skim add enough water after cooking to overflow into the drain for about 10 seconds.
LOW WATER SENSING automatically closes the gas valve (thereby extinguishing the burner
flame) if the water in the cookpot drops too low. When the water level in the cookpot is below the
low-water sensor, such as when draining and cleaning the cookpot, the trouble indicator will light.
NORMAL WATER LEVEL is when the water is to the bottom of overflow.
