maximum gas supply pressures for the type of gas being 

used.

Connection to Gas Line

The Pasta Magic family of gas cookers has been approved for 

use with natural and propane (LP) gas.  

The size of the gas line used for installation is very important.  

If the line is too small, the gas pressure at the burner 

manifold will be low.  This may cause slow recovery and 

delayed ignition.  Garland recommends the incoming gas 

supply line be a minimum of 1 ½” (38mm) in diameter.  Refer 

to the chart below for the minimum sizes of connection 

piping.

Gas Connection Pipe Sizes

(Minimum incoming pipe size should be 1½” (38 mm))

Gas

Single Unit

2-3 Units

Natural

¾” (19 mm)

1” (25 mm)

Propane

½” (13 mm)

¾” (19 mm)

Note:

 For distances of more than 20 feet (6m) and/or 

more than four fittingsor elbows, increase the connection 

by one pipe size.

Before connecting new pipe to your unit, the pipe must be 

thoroughly blown out to remove any foreign particles.  If 

these foreign particles get into the burner and controls, they 

will cause improper and sometimes dangerous operation.

1.  Connect the quick-disconnect hose to the cooker quick-

disconnect fitting at the rear of the cooker and to the 

building gas line.

NOTE:

 Some cookers are configured for a rigid 

connection to the gas supply line.  These units must 

be connected to the gas supply line at the rear of the 

unit using fittings approved for that purpose by the 

appropriate regulatory agency of the country in which 

the appliance is installed.

4.  For units equipped with basket lifts, install the basket lift 

arms onto the rods (located at the top rear of the cabinet) 

to ensure that the lift arms are guided by the basket lift 

rollers.

5.  Connect the water supply to the faucet and, on units with 

the autofill option, the water solenoid valve.  (The valve is 

located on the lower frame behind the doorpost.)

,

CAUTION

Before connecting the water supply to units equipped 

with solenoid valves, purge the water line to ensure 

there is no trash in the line.

 DANGER

The maximum allowable incoming water pressure to the 

regulator for all units is 80 PSI (56.3 kg/cm2).
The maximum allowable incoming water temperature 

for all units is 180°F (82°C).

NOTE:

  Either hot or cold water supplies may be 

connected to the water solenoid valve.  However, 

connecting to a hot water supply will minimize the 

amount of time required to attain operating temperature 

when filling the cooker with fresh water.  

NOTE:

  In order for the water level sensors to work 

properly, a certain amount of mineral content is 

necessary in the water.  For that reason, purified, 

deionized, or highly filtered water should not be used.

6.  Connect the desired drain plumbing to the 1¼–inch 

drain valve.  NOTE: Ensure drain plumbing is connected 

in accordance with local codes. Waste water from the 

water bath unit should not be discharged directly below 

the appliance. Rising steam can harm the cabinet and the 

electrical components.

7.  Test the cooker electrical system:

a.  Plug the cooker electrical cord into a grounded 

electrical receptacle of appropriate voltage.  (Check 

the rating plate on the cooker door to determine the 

proper voltage).

b.  Place the power switch in the 

ON

 position and verify 

that the display indicates

LO

.

c.  Place the cooker power switch in the 

OFF

 position. 

Verify that the display is blank.

8.  Refer to the rating plate on the inside of the cooker door 

to verify that the cooker is configured for the type of gas
