Introduction
CAUTION
The Spaghetti Magic II (SMS II) computer used in 17EC/17ECS units is specially
configured for them. The programming and operation of the 17EC/17ECS SMS II
computer are different than those of the SMS II computers used in other products.
The computers are not interchangeable.
The Spaghetti Magic II computer allows the operator to specify a specific cook time in minutes and
seconds, then initiate a cooking cycle. The computer is configured for both automatic filling
(Autofill) and automatic skimming (Autoskim) features.
When in the
BOIL
mode, the heating element is energized at all times. It is used when actually
cooking pasta.
The
SIMMER
mode feature maintains the water temperature just below boiling (approximately
195ºF/90.6ºC), which conserves energy and water. This feature is designed for rethermalizing previ-
ously cooked packaged products, and for keeping the cooker in standby.
The
SKIM
feature, when selected, adds water for approximately 3 seconds once a minute. It causes
the water to overflow into the drain, carrying floating starch with it. (A buildup of starch reduces the
efficiency of the cooker and can cause erroneous temperature and water level sensing.)
