Chapter 1: General Information and Installation
Congratulations on the purchase of your new Pitco Frialator Pasta cooker. This cooker will provide
many years of reliable service if the operation and maintenance procedures presented in this manual
are followed. The Pitco Frialator Pasta cooker is a state of the art pasta cooking appliance. The
cooking tank holds approximately 7 gallons (26.5 liters) of water, which can be refilled through the
manually operated fill system option. The cooker has two heating modes: BOIL and SIMMER. Each
heating mode is selected by a switch located on the front panel. In the SIMMER mode, the
temperature of the water is monitored and maintained at approximately 205°F by an internal
thermostat. The Pasta cooker is very easy to use allowing the operator to cook and not worry about
the cooker. However, it is important that the operator refer to this manual for installation, operation,
and maintenance of the cooker, and that the operator be familiar with the safety notices located
throughout this manual.
The Pasta Perfect cooker consists of a cooking/warming section and a rinsing/holding section. The
cooking/warming section consists of a stainless steel well, an automatic basket lift, an electronic time
control, a switch to select either the cook mode or the warm mode, and a drain and overflow. The
rinsing/holding section consists of a stainless steel well, a swing-away hot and cold water faucet, and
a drain and overflow.

INSPECTING YOUR NEW COOKER
Every effort has been made to ensure that the Pasta cooker is delivered in perfect condition. Inspect
the cooker for damage as it is unpacked. If something is damaged, DO NOT sign the bill of lading.
Contact the shipper immediately. The shipper is only responsible for damage or loss up to 15 days
after delivery. Check the packing list enclosed with the cooker to ensure that all parts to the cooker
have been received. If parts are missing, contact the dealer from whom the cooker was purchased.
As the cooker and its accessories are unpacked, be careful to keep the weight of the cooker evenly
distributed. Enclosed in the shipping crate is a brush to be used in cleaning the cooker.
CAUTION
To prevent equipment damage, don't tilt the cooker
onto any two of it's legs or casters and do not pull the
cooker by the flue vent.
Locate the Pitco Frialator warranty sheet and put it in a safe place for future reference. DO NOT return
the card to Pitco Frialator. It is also very important to keep this manual for information should help
be needed. The cooker has been assembled at the factory and is ready to be installed. If the legs or
casters were not installed or if they were purchased separately, refer to section 1.2 for leg and caster
assembly procedures.
