Boil Out
Procedure.
Before turning the cooker on, ensure that:
The unit is connected to the water supply.
The water supply is turned on.
The unit is plugged into an appropriate outlet.
The electrical power supply is turned on.
1.
Turn the controller on by pressing the Power
switch.
2.
The unit will automatically enter the simmer mode and the simmer mode indicator will
illuminate. This will bring the cooker to “stand-by” temperature. To enter the boil mode, press
the Boil Mode
switch.
3.
Enter the desired cooking time using the numeric keypad. The time entered appears in the LED
display.
4.
When ready to initiate a cooking cycle, press the Start Timer
switch then press the Boil Mode
switch. The basket lift will automatically lower the basket or portion cups into the cookpot
and the LED display will begin to count down. Simultaneously, the water will be raised to the
boiling point. At the end of the cooking cycle, an alarm will sound briefly to alert you and the
basket lift will automatically raise the basket or portion cups out of the water.
5.
The display will automatically return to the previously set cooking time and the unit will return
to the simmer mode. If the same time is desired for the next batch, simply repeat Step 4. If a
different cooking time is desired, follow Steps 3 and 4.
6.
To initiate the automatic skimming (Autoskim) feature, press the Skim
switch.
3.1.3 Setting the Controller Transition Temperature/Boil Intensity
You may adjust the cooker’s Transition Temperature/Boil Intensity to prevent boilover on
controllers configured with this feature.
When the water is at or above the minimum temperature for boiling (transition temperature), the
controller pulses power to the elements at a programmable rate. The range can be set between 0 and
9. The default setting is 5. When the water temperature is below boiling point, the power
application is 100 percent.
To set the Transition Temperature/Boil Intensity:
1.
Verify that the controller is OFF (the display is blank).
