installed so that products of combustion are removed efficiently, and that the kitchen ventilation sys-
tem does not produce drafts that interfere with proper burner operation. 
 
The cooker flue opening must not be placed close to the intake of the exhaust fan, and the cooker 
must never have its flue extended in a “chimney” fashion.  An extended flue will change the 
combustion characteristics of the cooker, causing longer recovery time.  It also frequently causes 
delayed ignition. 
 
When installed beneath a ventilation hood, adequate distance must be maintained from the flue 
outlet of the cooker to the lower edge of the ventilation filter bank.  Filters should be installed at an 
angle of 45° with a drip tray placed beneath the lowest edge of the filter.  For U.S. installation, 
NFPA standard No. 96 states, “A minimum distance of 18 inches (450mm) should be maintained 
between the flue outlet and the lower edge of the filter.” 
 
For installations in other than the United States, installers should contact the appropriate local or 
national agency for information on the construction and installation of ventilating hoods. 
 

  CAUTION 

DO NOT install this appliance directly over a drain opening. 

 

ELECTRICAL GROUNDING REQUIREMENTS 
 

All electrically operated appliances must be grounded in accordance with all applicable national and 
local codes.  A wiring diagram is located on the inside of the cooker door.  Refer to the rating plate 
on the inside of the cooker door for the proper voltages.   
 

DANGER 

If this appliance is equipped with three-prong (grounding) plug, it must be plugged 

directly into properly grounded receptacle.  Do not cut or remove the grounding 

prong from the plug. 

 

 DANGER 

This equipment requires electrical power for operation.   

Place the gas control valve in the OFF position in case of a prolonged power outage.   

 

Do not attempt to use the equipment during a power outage.   

 

NATIONAL CODE REQUIREMENTS 

 
Pasta Magic cookers are manufactured to use the type of gas specified on the rating plate.  The 
rating plate is attached to the inside of the cooker door.  Connect a cooker only to the type of gas 
indicated on the rating plate.   
 
Installation shall be made with a gas connector that complies with the national and local codes or 
regulations in force in the country in which the appliance is being installed.  Quick-disconnect 
devices, if used, shall likewise comply with the national and local codes or regulations in force in the 
country in which the appliance is being installed
