must completely cover the heating element, at least to the MIN
water level.
Plug in the socket, press switch into the ON position. The power
switch will be illuminated and the element will start heating. Turn the
temperature control knob to the BOIL position. When the water is
boiling, add the pasta into the basket(s) and cook.

to be cooked. If not using again, turn temperature control knob to the
MIN setting and press the power switch to the OFF position. Unplug
the unit from the power supply.
IMPORTANT: Continually observe and maintain water level in the
basin. Water level will decrease with each boil. Refill with fresh water
as needed.
1. DO NOT overload the pasta cooker with water or food product.
Water will splatter, causing serious injuries and burns.
2. Use caution when adding pasta into the baskets.
3. Always use extreme caution when lowering, lifting and draining
baskets. The water is extremely hot.

water to cool to room temperature. To drain the basin: Connect a
hose and clamp to the WATER OUTLET valve located in front of
the unit.
Note: You may also empty the water directly from the WATER
OUTLET valve into a bucket or similar container.
To drain the overflow, connect a hose to the WATER OVERFLOW
