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 interior and exterior surfaces of the pasta cooker with hot water, a mild detergent
solution and a soft scrubbing brush. 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. 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.
c. 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, close the gas shut-off valve upstream of the appliance and
clean the appliance thoroughly.
The appliance should be inspected and the gas exhaust flue cleaned by an authorized service person at
least every 6 months.
