2.3. APPLIANCE START UP
Refer to the following procedure to start the appliance prior to operation.

2. Fill the cook tank with water. (See section 2.1 “Filling the Appliance”)

manual for your appliance’s specific control type to determine the exact appearance of each

2.4. COOKING
It is important to keep the cook tank full of water to minimize the chance of boiling the appliance dry
and to keep the water at a level that will provide optimum cooking performance. To keep the water at
its normal operating temperature, it is best to add water in small amounts. If the appliance is
equipped with manual water fill, it is recommended that the fill knobs are set so that water enters the
tank slowly during cooking.
2.4.1. SIMMER MODE
Simmer mode maintains the water temperature to just below boiling. This mode can be used to
reheat pasta or as a “stand by” mode.
To enter simmer mode:
Models with electric thermostat: Press the boil/simmer switch to the simmer position.
All other Models: Press the
*
button until
*
is displayed.
If you are not ready to cook, enter simmer mode. This will conserve energy and keep water in the
tank longer then when in boil mode.
WARNING
Water must completely cover the heating elements at all times while appliance is on.
WARNING
NEVER operate the appliance with an empty cook tank. It may void the warranty.
Adding water after the elements have been heated may cause injuries from hot
splattering liquids and steam.
WARNING
Dry fired elements are extremely hot, will shorten its service life and may void your warranty.
