PREVENTIVE
MAINTENANCE
Preventive maintenance should be done in daily,
weekly, monthly and yearly intervals as necessary.
Following preventive maintenance procedures will help
keep your Pasta System working efficiently. Proper care
and servicing will lead to years of quality performance.
NOTE: The most important part of any maintenance
program is daily cleaning. Ninety percent of any
maintenance problem is directly or indirectly related to
cleanliness.
NOTE: Water level problems caused by the sensors
not being cleaned adequately will not be covered under
warranty.
* High production facilities should be checked more often.
NOTE: Use of sodium chloride (salt) during the cooking
process will have a detrimental effect on the cooker
vessel and will void the warranty.

15°F(-9.44°C) off, simply loosen three dial plate
retaining screws, rotate dial plate to match
thermometer reading and tighten screws. If the

B. The Water Auto-Fill and Low Water Safety Shut-
Off Systems
The water supply connection, located at the bottom rear
of the Past
a System and marked water, is a standard
3
/8”
female pipe connection. The water pressure should be
between 20-60 psi. If the pressure exceeds 60 psi, a
pressure regulator must be used. The water
temperature must not exceed 150°F(65.6°C). Hot or
warm water is not needed due to the instant recovery of
the Pasta System.
Connections suitable for hot water must be used.
All connections must be tested for leaks before
using the Pasta System.
NOTE: For Pasta Systems with casters, flexible hose
must be used to avoid leaking when the Past
a System
is moved for cleaning.
Control of the water level is fully automatic with the
auto-fill system. The water level is controlled by two
circuit boards and two sensors.
The sensors are located
