III . OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. GENERAL
The Pasta Cooker is used for boiling pasta of all types, rice,
noodles, dumplings, vegetables and soups. The desired
temperature can be adjusted between 50 and 100 °C.
The water trough has a capacity of 40 litres and is operated by
a 13 kW output bar burner.
In the front part of the water trough there is a standing surface
for parking and draining off the baskets. Excess water or foam
can run off through a water overflow under the standing
surface.
The water trough is seamlessly integrated into the appliance
cover. Sharply rounded corners and edges facilitate easy
cleaning. All parts of the appliance are made of corrosion-
resistant stainless steel.
Recommended accessories:
- rectangular baskets, 1 x GN 1/1, 2 x GN 1/2 or
