DAILY CHECKS AND SERVICES
INSPECT COOKER AND ACCESSORIES FOR DAMAGE
Look for loose wires, leaks, foreign material in water tank or inside cabinet, and any other indications that the
noodle cooker and accessories are not ready and safe for operation. Inspect the burner deflectors to verify that
each is positioned directly above its orifice, and that the flame ignites approximately 2½” (60mm) above the
orifice. The flame should strike the center of the deflector and be a rich blue color.
CLEAN COOKER CABINET INSIDE AND OUT
Clean inside the cooker cabinet with dry, clean cloth. Wipe all accessible metal surfaces and components to
remove accumulations dust. Clean the outside of the cooker cabinet with a clean, damp cloth soaked with dish
washing detergent, removing dust, and lint from the cooker cabinet.
QUARTERLY CHECKS AND SERVICES
DRAIN AND CLEAN WATER TANK
During normal usage of your cooker, a deposit of Water scale will gradually form on the inside of the tank. This
deposit must be periodically removed to maintain your cooker’s efficiency. Follow the procedures for draining
the water tank, the follow the “boiling out the water tank” procedures.
CLEAN DETACHABLE PARTS AND ACCESSORIES
Wipe all detachable parts and accessories with a clean cloth dampened with a detergent solution. Rinse and
thoroughly dry each part.
SEMI-ANNUAL CHECKS AND SERVICE
CHECK BURNER MANIFOLD PRESSURE
1. Ensure that the gas valve knob is in the OFF position.
2.
Remove the pressure tap plug from burner manifold.
3.
Insert the fitting for a manometer or pressure gauge into the pressure tap hole.
4.
Place the gas valve in the PILOT position and light the pilot. When the pilot lights and continues to burn,
increase the setting on the thermostat knob until the burner lights. Compare the manometer or gauge
reading to the appropriate table below.
5.
If the burner manifold pressure does not meet the specifications in the tables in step 4, unscrew the slotted
cap from the top of the gas valve regulator (adjacent to the gas valve vent tube) and turn the adjusting
screw to obtain the correct pressure. Turn the screw clockwise to in-crease pressure, counter-clockwise to
decrease pressure.
6. After adjusting the manifold pressure to the correct value, reinstall the regulator cap and turn the gas valve
knob to the OFF position.
7.
Remove the manometer or pressure gauge fitting from the pressure tap hole and reinstall the pipe plug.
8.
Place the gas valve in the PILOT position and check for gas leaks. If no leaks are found, re-light the pilot
and return the unit to operation.
