Operating Instructions

• the water supply is turned on
• the unit is plugged in to an appropriate outlet.

Start-up Procedure
,
CAUTION
If this is the first time the unit is being used after
installation, refer also to section - Boiling Out the Cookpot
1. Press the power switch to the
ON
position. If the
cooker is equipped with the Autofill option, the cookpot
will automatically begin to fill with water. If not, manually
fill the cookpot using the faucet until the water level is
above the upper water level sensor located at the left
front of the cookpot as you face the unit. (On units with
Autofill, the water will automatically shut off when the
water in the cookpot has reached the correct level.)
2. Turn the gas valve knob to the
ON
position (see
illustration below.)
The burners should light for several seconds and then
go out. A few seconds later they should light again.
This cycle will repeat about 10 times, at which time the
burners should remain lit until the setpoint is reached.
If the burners fail to light, press the power switch to
the OFF position, wait 60 seconds, then repeat this step.
3. After the burners have been lit continuously for at least
90 seconds, observe the burners through the burner
viewports. They should display a bright orange-red glow.
If a blue flame is observed, or if there are dark spots on a
burner face, the air gas mixture requires adjustment, as
explained below.
NOTE: Adjusting the Air/Gas Mixture:
On the side of the blower housing opposite the motor is
a plate with one or two locking nuts. Loosen the nut(s)
enough to allow the plate to be moved, then adjust
the position of the plate to open or close the air intake
opening until a bright orange-red glow. Carefully hold
the plate in position and tighten the lock nut(s).
Normal Operation

To re-enter the boil mode, press the Boil Mode button

3. Enter the desired cooking time using the numeric

Timer button . The basket lift (on units so equipped)
will automatically lower the basket or portion cups
into the cookpot and the LED display will begin to
count down. 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.
The display will automatically return to the previously
