Switching on the pasta cooker with the Bflex electronic
controls (Fig. 10)
When the pasta cooker is turned off, the power supply ca-
ble is connected and the main switch is on, the display (A)
will show the word "OFF".
Check that the water drain cock is closed.
Press and hold the knob (B) for a few seconds until the di-
splay shows the letters "H20".
Rotate the knob (C) to fill the tank with water up to the
overflow hole.
When the tank is full, lightly press the knob (B) and an
acoustic signal will be emitted; the display shows 30 °C. Ro-
tate the knob (B) to regulate temperature from 30° to 100
°C, then press the knob (B) again to set the value or wait a
few seconds until the acoustic signal is emitted.
When the Led (G) is on, it means that the resistances are
active.
The unit will start at the maximum power (i.e. P3).
Once the water is boiling, the power can be regulated
by using the button (D). 3 power levels are available: P3
EN
(maximum power), P2 (medium power) and P1 (minimum
power).
The display (I) shows the selected power (P1 or P2 or P3).
Keep the knob (B) pressed for few seconds to switch off the
pasta cooker; the display (A) will show the word "HOT" for
as long as the water temperature is over 40 °C; when water
temperature drops below 40° C, the display will show the
word "OFF".
Turn off the pasta cooker's main switch at the end of the
working day.
Attention:
The appliance is fitted with the following safety devices:
- If the signal light "H" is on, it means the safety thermo-
stat has triggered (see the paragraph PASTA COOKER
SAFETY DEVICES).
In this case, the pasta cooker does not work until the safety
device is reset.
Ignition of bain-marie (Fig. 8)
Check that the water outlet tap (B) is closed. Fill the tank
with water up to the marked level. Activate the main switch
upstream from the appliance. Using the knob (A), position
the power regulator to the largest part of the serigraphy
to increase the power levels. To decrease the power, rotate
the knob to the smallest part of the serigraphy.
To switch the appliance off, rotate the knob (A) to position
0 and switch off the main switch.
Pasta cooker safety device (Fig. 7)
The appliance is equipped with a safety thermostat that
intervenes in the event of an anomalous operation of the
pasta cooker (for example, the pasta cooker is ignited
without having filled the tank with water). To restart the
appliance, disconnect the power supply by means of the
disconnecting switch placed before the appliance, let
the unit cool down and press the Reset button (E). Later,
to restart the appliance, follow the instructions in the
MOD.

paragraph OPERATION.
Draining the tank
For the Top version, the operator has to use a proper
container to drain the tank. Connect a draining pipe with
a bayonet connection as shown in Fig. 6. Open the drain
tap (B) (Fig. 7-8). For the version with cabinet, the drain tap
is connected to the network and, therefore, it is sufficient
to open the drain tap (B) placed inside the compartment
(Fig. 9).
Attention: opening the drain tap makes the hot liquid
inside the unit flow out.
RECOMMENDATIONS AND PRECAUTIONS
FOR THE USE OF THE PASTA COOKER BASKETS
The pasta cooker's baskets are made of austenitic stainless
steel; this material is the most suitable for the construction
of the baskets but, in some conditions, it may be affected
by corrosion caused by chloride ions (sodium chloride=
cooking salt) that are normally present in water where the
baskets are immersed.
Therefore, it is essential to follow a few easy precautions to
avoid this problem.
1) Never let the baskets dry without having rinsed them
first with lukewarm water.
2) After each use, properly rinse the baskets with
lukewarm water or suitable products.
3) Never pour salt directly inside the baskets.
4) Do not use abrasive products or accessories.
Warning: while washing the baskets, pay attention to
the areas where there are some gaps (i.e. welding, area
attaching to the supporting structure, etc. ) because,
in these areas, salt water can stagnate and later cause
corrosion.
To clean the steel parts, refer to the paragraph "CARE OF
THE APPLIANCE".
MAINTENANCE
CARE OF THE APPLIANCE
ATTENTION!
- Before cleaning, switch off the unit and let it cool down.
- In the event of electrically supplied units, use the
isolator switch to disconnect the mains. Carefully clean
daily the appliance to guarantee its proper operation
and long life. Steel surfaces must be cleaned with a dish
washer detergent diluted in very hot water by using
a soft cloth; for the toughest dirt, use ethylic alcohol,
acetone or another non-halogenated solvent; do not
use abrasive powder detergents or corrosive substances
such as hydrochloric acid, muriatic or sulphuric acid.
The use of acids can affect the unit's operation and safety.
Do not use brushes, steel cottons or abrasive disks
made with other metals or alloys that might cause
