Weekly Cleaning 

NOTE: 

• 

If the pasta cooker usage is very high, we recommend that the weekly cleaning  
procedure is carried out on a more frequent basis. 

• 

Ensure that protective gloves are worn during the cleaning process. 

• 

DO NOT use harsh abrasive detergents, strong solvents, sharp scrapers or caustic  
detergents as they will damage the surface of the pasta cooker. 

• 

Ensure that the water circuit is free of ferrous particles.  Any such particles deposited 
in the bottom of the tank may cause it to rust. 

 

Thoroughly clean the interior and exterior of the pasta cooker regularly.  Do not use wire brushes on the 

pan.  Clean using a mild detergent and a hot water solution using soft cloth or a soft bristled brush.  Dry 

the appliance thoroughly using a dry clean cloth. 

 

NOTE:  In order to prevent the forming of rust on the steel components, ensure that the detergent 

or cleaning material has been entirely removed after each cleaning process. 

 

Stainless Steel Surfaces 

a.  Clean the control panel with a damp lightly moistened cloth using hot water and a mild detergent 

solution.  Note that the gas control knobs are a push fit onto the gas and water control valve 

spindles and can be removed to allow cleaning of the front of the control panel. 

b.  Clean the interior and exterior surfaces of the pasta cooker with hot water, a mild detergent  

solution and a soft scrubbing brush. 

c.  Baked on deposits or discolouration may require a good quality stainless steel cleaner or stainless 

steel wool.  Always apply cleaner when the appliance is cold and rub in the direction of the grain. 

d.  Dry all components thoroughly with a dry cloth and polish with a soft dry cloth. 
 
 

Periodic Maintenance 

NOTE:  All maintenance operations should only be carried out by a qualified service person. 
 

To achieve the best results cleaning must be regular and thorough and all controls and mechanical parts 

should be checked and adjusted periodically by a qualified service person.  If any small faults occur, have 
them attended to promptly.  Don't wait until they cause a complete breakdown.  It is recommended that 

the appliance is serviced every 6 months. 
 
If the appliance is not used for long periods, disconnect the mains supply to the pasta cooker and clean  

the appliance thoroughly. 
 
The appliance should be inspected by an authorized service person at least every 6 months.
