The Pasta Magic Controller allows the operator to specify a cook time in minutes and seconds, and
then initiate a cooking cycle. This controller is available in three configurations. The standard
configuration has both automatic filling (Autofill) and automatic skimming (Autoskim) features.
Options include Autofill only, or neither Autofill nor Autoskim.
When in the BOIL mode, the burners are lit at all times. It is used when actually cooking pasta.
The SIMMER mode feature maintains the water temperature just below boiling, which conserves
energy and water. This feature is designed for rethermalizing previously cooked packaged products
and for keeping the cooker in standby.
The AUTOSKIM and SKIM features are independent of each other. The AUTOSKIM feature, on
units so equipped, adds water for approximately 3 seconds once a minute. It cannot be turned off.
The SKIM feature, when activated by pressing the skim button on the controller, delivers a conti-
nuous spray of water for approximately 2 minutes, and then stops until the button is again pressed.
In both cases, the purpose is to cause the water in the cookpot to overflow into the drain, carrying
floating starch with it. (A buildup of starch reduces the efficiency of the cooker and can cause erro-
neous temperature and water level sensing.) NOTE: Do not use deliming solution to clean these units.
Use of deliming solution will damage all stainless steel parts.)
LOW WATER SENSING automatically closes the gas valve (thereby extinguishing the burner
flame) if the water in the cookpot drops too low. When the water level in the cookpot is below the
