Page 19: Cleaning Instructions For Pasta Cookers
Cleaning Instructions for Pasta Cookers General note: ➔ Only dose salt into the reservoir filled with hot water. ➔ Do not dose too much salt. The water has only a limited absorbency. Overdosed salt sinks to the bottom and is no longer dissolved. More frequent dosing is kinder on the appliance and improves the product quality. -
Page 20: Pasta Cookers And Stainless Steel
Pasta Cookers and Stainless Steel Causes All cooking reservoirs from Kienle are made of high-quality stainless steel 1.4401 AISI 316 (V4A) material. Despite this high-quality material, there are still several points to be considered to avoid damage. The most common causes are rust bloom and pitting. -
Page 21: Pasta Cookers And Stainless Steel - Care
Pasta Cookers and Stainless Steel - Care Rust bloom on stainless steels If you discover rust bloom, find the source of the rusting material that has contaminated the cooking reservoir and eliminate this source. The brown rust bloom particles must be removed immediately. You can use a fleece suitable for stainless steel to do this. -
Page 22: Operating Notes For Pasta Cookers
Operating Notes for Pasta Cookers Only fill the cooking reservoir with softened water. Lime deposits bind starch residues and reduce the heating output and can lead to faults. Make sure that cooking reservoir is filled up to the overflow. If this is repeatedly not the case in the filling process, you can prolong the refilling time in the programme (item 10). -
Page 23: Customer Service
Never leave the water in the cooking reservoir overnight or during longer cooking breaks. This is unhygienic and leads to blockages in the drain system. After draining the water, clean the cooking reservoir and the appliance with a suitable cleaning agent and rinse again afterwards. Do not use acids! Do not forget to close the fresh water valve (on-site tap) overnight and switch off the power supply, at least at the black I- 0 switch on the substructure. -
Page 24: Maintenance
