water loading tap a little open to allow for the
elimination of starch through the overflow hole
and to keep the right level of water in the tank.
- NEVER SWITCH ON THE UNIT BEFORE LOADING
THE TANK WITH WATER.
- During use, the sides of the appliances may reach
high temperatures. Be careful. There is, however,
an adhesive sticker on both sides to remind
the user that the sides may be hot during the

WARNING: DO NOT COVER THE AERATION SLOTS
PLACED ON THE BOTTOMS OF THE PASTA COOKER
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 that is 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 first
rinsed them 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
titled "CARE OF THE APPLIANCE".
MAINTENANCE
The construction of the appliances is carried out in
a way that allows for a few maintenance operations.
Because of this, we recommend that the user signs
a service contract to have the equipment checked
at least once a year by specialized personnel.
REPLACING THE COMPONENTS (SPARE PARTS)
USE ONLY ORIGINAL SPARE PARTS SUPPLIED
BY THE MANUFACTURER. The parts must be re-
placed by authorized personnel only!
For a few models, it is sufficient to remove the pan-
el by unscrewing the screws in view on the lower
edge or in the front to have access to the parts to
be replaced; for the other models, it is sufficient to
open the lower door.
ATTENTION: empty the tank before removing
the panel and replace the components.
- Valved tap: all fittings are on view. Use suitable
wrenches to unscrew the gas inlet and outlet fit-
tings, pilot nozzle and thermocouple. Replace the
tap with a new one and reconnect the pilot noz-
zle and the thermocouple.
- Burner: to replace the burner, unscrew the nut,
pressing the biconical coupling from the nozzle
holder fitting, unscrew the two screws that fix the
burner to the combustion chamber and extract
the burner. Remove from the burner bracket from
the nozzle holder fitting by unscrewing the fixing
nut and assemble it in the new burner. Repeat all
operations in reverse and reassemble everything.
- Thermocouple: loosen the nut that fixes the
thermocouple to the pilot burner and extract
the thermocouple from its seat. Unscrew the nut
fixing the thermocouple to the tap. Replace the
thermocouple and reassemble everything.
- Plug: remove the cable and unscrew the fixing
nut. Assemble the new plug, paying attention not
to tighten the nut too much because the insulat-
ing ceramic might be damaged.
- Flexible water supplying pipe: in the event of
a replacement, make sure that the pipe does not
lay on the combustion chamber.
APPLIANCE CARE
ATTENTION!
- Allow the appliance to cool down before
cleaning
- Turn off the disconnecting switch in the event
the appliance is supplied by electricity.
Giving the appliance a thorough cleaning every
day will keep it in perfect working order and make
it last longer. All steel parts should be cleaned with
a dish detergent diluted in very hot water, using a
soft rag; to remove stubborn dirt, use ethyl alco-
hol, varnish remover or another non halogen sol-
vent; do not use abrasive powder or corroding
detergents, such as hydrochloric/muriatic or
sulfuric acid. The use of acids can compromise
the functionality and safety of the appliance. Do
not use brushes, steel wool or abrasive pads made
