Page 4: Lighting And Shutdown Instructions
LIGHTING ANd SHUT dOWN INSTRUCTIONS Always follow these lighting and shut down instructions when lighting your rice cooker. A five minute complete shutoff period is required before lighting or relighting pilot. Check for gas leaks before relighting unit. Use soapy water or other suitable leak detector. Rinse off the soapy water after testing. Notice to Installer: The following must be performed to insure proper operation. 1. Remove Pot, Outer Jacket, and Drip Tray. 2. Turn gas valve to “ON” position as in figure 2 below. 3. Gently push on the #2 COOK button. It should stop half way down and not engage. This is a safety feature that does not allow accidental start of the main burner unless the pilot button has already been pushed. 4. Push the left button marked #1 START down until you hear a click, then release it. This is the ignition lever and the pilot should light. The red button marked WARM controls the pilot and is hidden by the #1 START button when off. Pushing the #1 START button also depressed the WARM button, exposing it. It will stay down until pushed up to extinguish the pilot. If the pilot has not lit, repeat until pilot lights. 5. If pilot fails to remain lit, see Trouble Shooting. 6. Replace the Pot, Outer Jacket, and Drip Tray in their proper order. With the pilot lit, push the #2 COOK button down to its position without water in the pot. The rice cooker should shut off within 3 to 4 minutes. If it fails to shut off, push the #2 COOK button up to its off position and see Trouble Shooting. If it shuts off normally, add a gallon of water and wait for the “click” sound indicating that the sensor has reset. With the pilot lit, again press the #2 COOK button. The rice cooker should boil the pot dry and then shut off. If it fails to shut off normally, push the #2 COOK button up to its off position and see Trouble Shooting. SHUT DOWN: When removing the pot, make sure to push the red button WARM until it clicks and is hid- den by the start button. It is then in the “OFF” position. A five minute complete shutoff period is required before lighting or relighting pilot. WARNING: When igniting the pilot, position the Jacket Window directly over #1 START and #2 COOK buttons. Do not be too close to the viewing hole when igniting. START Start Button Main Burner Butto COOK WARM Pilot/Warmer Button Gas Valve OFF Position... -

REAR CONNECTION PRESSURE REGULATOR RM-55 REAR CONNECTION INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS To install the provided pressure regulator: a. Locate gas supply for the rice cooker. Installation must comply with the National codes so there should be a shut off valve on the gas supply line to the rice cooker. b. Install the supplied pressure regulator at the end of the rear connection manifold. An arrow on the body of the pressure regulator indicates the direction of the gas flow. The arrow must be pointing in the direction to the rice cooker. The rice cooker will not operate if the regulator is improperly installed. c. If required, install the supply side of the quick disconnect hose (provided by others) to the regulator per the manufacturer’s instructions. d. Check your installation for leaks with an approved leak detector. Be sure to use approved materials on the pipe threads to prevent gas leaks. When appropriate, light the rice cooker and check for proper operation.

We brought this back from a customer of a Mexican distributor. It is simple to do and yields excellent flavors. 8 oz. vegetable or peanut oil 4 quarts cooled chicken stock 3 lbs washed rice 3 boneless chicken breasts, precooked & cubed juice of one lemon 2-3 sprigs finely chopped cilantro two cloves garlic, smashed, finely chopped 3 tablespoons salt one 28 oz. can crushed tomatoes 2 finely chopped jalapeños Push the #1 Start button to light the pilot. Verify ignition of the pilot through the jacket window. Push the #2 Cook but- ton and light the main burner. Verify ignition of the main burner through the jacket window. Add the oil. There should be sufficient oil to cover the bottom of the rice pot. Allow the oil to heat. The sensor in the bottom of the pot is designed to turn the rice cooker off when it senses the water in the pot is gone. The oil in the bottom of the pot is being heated by the burner and will surpass the temperature of boiling water. At this point the sensor will make a “click” sound and “pop” into its expanded position as the temperature of boiling water has been exceeded. This causes the #2 Cook button to jump to the off position and the burner will shut off. Mexican Rice is fried before liquids are added. The oil must be at frying temperature, about 375ºF. To do this, push the #2 Cook button once again to continue heating the oil. BEWARE: the automatic shut off feature of the sensor is now disabled and the unit will not shut off automatically. To turn off the main burner one must lift the #2 cook button. Heat the oil to frying temperature. Add grains of rice to test the temperature of the oil. When the test grains of rice sizzle and turn white, add the balance of the rice. Fry the rice by allowing it to cook for 30 seconds, then mix thorough- ly. Let it fry for an additional 30 seconds, then mix again. Repeat this process until the rice begins to ‘cashew’ or have a light brown color, about 7-10 minutes. After the rice is started to change color, add the garlic and stir for one more minute. At this point make sure to wear a heat resistant mitt as the pot is very hot and the liquids about to be added will vaporize quickly and one can be scalded. Stir in crushed tomatoes and fry for one more minute. Turn off the burner by raising the #2 Cook button to its off posi- tion. Add the balance of the ingredients and stir to mix. About 4-5 minutes after you shut off the main burner, listen for a “click” sound indicating the sensor has reset to its original shape restoring its automatic capabilities. Relight the main burner by pushing down the #2 Cook button. Verify ignition through the jacket window. The unit will now cook the rice and automatically shut off when the rice is done, about 15 minutes. When the unit shuts off, allow the rice to “cure” undisturbed in the rice cooker for 10 minutes. Then mix and serve the rice. Tip: use the rice cooker to braise the chicken. The braised chicken adds flavor to the rice when fried in the same pot. NOTE: Consistency of rice will vary depending on amount of chicken stock used. For very spicy rice add additional jalapeños to taste. Be creative... you may add peas, corn, or finely chopped bell peppers. Bueno provecho! * Recipe compliments of Maria Asuncion Aquirre de King, Dim Sum King, Veracruz, Mexico Rev. 03/07 TOWN FOOD SERVICE EQUIPMENT CO., INC.
