Controller
The Pasta Magic Controller allows the operator to specify
a cook time in minutes and seconds, and then initiate
a cooking cycle. This controller is available in three
configurations. The standard configuration has both
automatic filling (Autofill) and automatic skimming
(Autoskim) features. Options include Autofill only, or neither
Autofill nor Autoskim.
When in the
BOIL
mode, the burners are lit at all times. It is
used when actually cooking pasta.
The SIMMER mode feature maintains the water temperature
just below boiling, which conserves energy and water. This
feature is designed for rethermalizing previously cooked
packaged products and for keeping the cooker in standby.
The
AUTOSKIM
and
SKIM
features are independent of each
other. The
AUTOSKIM
feature, on units so equipped, adds
water for approximately 3 seconds once a minute. It cannot
be turned off.
The SKIM feature, when activated by pressing the skim
button on the controller, delivers a continuous spray of
water for approximately 2 minutes, and then stops until
the button is again pressed. In both cases, the purpose
is to cause the water in the cookpot 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.)
NOTE
: Do not use
deliming solution to clean these units. Use of deliming
solution will damage all stainless steel parts).
LOW WATER SENSING automatically closes the gas valve
(thereby extinguishing the burner flame) if the water in the
cookpot drops too low. When the water level in the cookpot
is below the low-water sensor, such as when draining and
cleaning the cookpot, the controller display will read LO .
NORMAL WATER LEVEL SENSING
, on units configured with
the Autofill feature, water is automatically added during or
after a cooking cycle if the water in the cookpot drops to
a level lower than approximately 1¼-inch (32 mm) below
the overflow drain. With this automatic filling feature, the
water level does not have to be continuously monitored. The
cookpot always has the correct amount of water.
FAHRENHEIT OR CELSIUS TEMPERATURE DISPLAY.
There are two versions of the SMS Controller: one that can
be toggled between Fahrenheit and Celsius temperature
display, and one that cannot. To determine which version
you have, turn the controller off by pressing the power
switch. The display will go blank. Press the Simmer button
(right thermometer icon). If
CODE
appears in the display,
the temperature display can be changed. If not, the display
cannot be changed.
1. If
CODE
appears in the display, press 1, 6, 5, 8. The display
will be toggled from Fahrenheit to Celsius or from Celsius
to Fahrenheit.
2. Press the Boil button (left thermometer icon) to
display the cookpot temperature. If an
F
follows the
temperature, the display is in Fahrenheit; if a
C
follows the
temperature, the display is in Celsius.
