2.2
Caster/Leg Installation
Depending upon the specific configuration ordered, your unit might have been shipped without in-
stalled casters or legs. If casters or legs are installed, you may skip this section and proceed to Sec-
tion 2.3, Pre-Connection Preparations.
If your unit requires the installation of casters/legs, install them in accordance with the in-
structions included in your accessory package.
2.3
Pre-Connection Preparations
After the unit has been positioned in the area where it will be used, ensure the following have been
accomplished before connecting the unit to the electrical power source:
1. This equipment must be stabilized by installing restraining chains on units equipped with
casters or anchor straps on units equipped with legs. Follow the instructions shipped with
the casters/legs to properly install the chains or straps.
2. Level units equipped with legs by screwing the legs out approximately 1 inch, then adjusting
them so that the unit is level.
For units equipped with casters, there are no built-in leveling devices. The floor where the
unit is to be installed must be level.
3. Install the basket lift arms (on units so equipped) on the lift rods (located at the top rear of
the cabinet) so that the basket lift rollers guides the lift arms.
NOTE: Some adjustment of the rollers may be necessary for free movement of the basket lift
arms.
4. If so equipped, connect the water hose(s) to the fitting(s) at the rear of the unit and connect
the unit to the water supply.
CAUTION
Incoming water pressure for all units should be approximately 40 PSI (2.8kg/cm2).
DANGER
The maximum allowable incoming water pressure for all units is 80 PSI (5.62 kg/cm2).
The maximum allowable incoming water temperature for all units is 180ºF (82ºC).
WARNING
To prevent back flushing, the connection piping should be installed with a vacuum breaker
or means of providing an air gap 1” (2.54 cm) above the cookpot rim.
NOTE: On units equipped with water hoses, the hoses come with a quick-disconnect coupl-
ing. The quick disconnect may be attached to the unit or to the water supply line, or it may
be left off entirely, whichever you prefer. If the unit is to be moved frequently (for cleaning
or preventive maintenance), Frymaster recommends installing flexible water lines. If the
cooker is hard-plumbed then moved, the connections may loosen and eventually cause leaks.

Introduction
The Spaghetti Magic III computer allows the operator to specify a specific cook time in minutes and
seconds, then initiate a cooking cycle. The computer is configured for both automatic filling
(AutoFill) and automatic skimming (Autoskim) features.
The BOIL mode is used when actually cooking pasta.
The SIMMER mode feature maintains the water temperature just below boiling (approximately
195ºF/90.6ºC), which conserves energy and water. This feature is designed to keep the cooker in
standby.
The SKIM feature, when selected, adds water for approximately 3 seconds once a minute. It causes
the water to overflow into the drain, carrying floating starch with it. (A buildup of starch reduces the
efficiency of the cooker and can cause erroneous temperature and water level sensing.)
LOW WATER SENSING automatically de-energizes the heating element if the water in the
cookpot drops too low. When the water level in the cookpot is below the sensor probes, such as
when draining and cleaning the cookpot, the controller display will read LO.
NORMAL WATER LEVEL SENSING, on units configured with the AutoFill feature,
automatically adds water during or after a cooking cycle if the water level is low. With this
automatic filling feature, the water level does not have to be continuously monitored. The cookpot
always has the correct amount of water.

CHAPTER 4: PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
Daily Preventive Maintenance
It is normal for a coating of starch to form on the elements, sensors, and temperature probes during
operation. If the coating is allowed to build-up, it will adversely affect the operation of the
equipment. The preventive maintenance routines below should be performed at least daily to keep
your equipment functioning at peak efficiency.
Inspect Equipment and Accessories for Damage
Look for loose or frayed wires and cords, leaks, foreign material in cookpot or inside cabinet,
and any other indications that the equipment and accessories are not ready for safe operation.
Clean Cabinet Inside and Out
Clean inside the cabinet with a dry, clean cloth. Wipe all accessible metal surfaces and
components to remove accumulations of oil, dust, or cooking residue.
Clean the outside of the cabinet with a clean cloth dampened with dishwashing detergent,
removing oil, dust, or cooking residue.
DANGER
Never attempt to clean this equipment during the cooking process or when the
cookpot is filled with hot water and/or food products.
Clean Water-Level Sensors, Temperature Sensor, Element, and Cookpot
Turn the equipment off and drain the cookpot.
Clean the water level sensors (located in the front of the cookpot behind the sensor cover).
Normally, a bottlebrush and a solution of detergent and water may be used to clean the sensors
with the cover installed. If the sensors become coated with an unusually heavy layer of starch
or lime, the cover may be removed to better access the sensors for cleaning using a Scotch-
brite™ or similar abrasive pad and a solution of detergent and water.

CHAPTER 5: OPERATOR TROUBLESHOOTING
5.1
Introduction
This chapter provides an easy reference guide to the more common problems that may occur during
the operation of this equipment. The troubleshooting guides in this chapter are intended to help you
correct, or at least accurately diagnose, problems with the equipment. Although the chapter covers
the most common problems reported, you may very well encounter a problem not covered. In such
instances, the Frymaster Technical Service Department will make every effort to help you identify
and resolve the problem.
When troubleshooting a problem, always use a process of elimination starting with the simplest
solution and working through to the most complex. Never overlook the obvious. Anyone can forget
to plug a cord into a receptacle or open the valve on the water supply line. Don’t assume that you
are exempt from such occurrences. Most importantly, try to establish a clear idea of why a problem
has occurred. Part of your corrective action involves taking steps to ensure that it doesn’t happen
again. Keep in mind that failure of a small component may often be indicative of potential failure or
incorrect functioning of a more important component or system.
If the troubleshooting and corrective actions in this chapter do not solve the problem, the problem is
probably beyond the scope of most operators to solve and you should call your FAS for assistance.
If you have doubts as to the proper action to take, do not hesitate to call the Frymaster Technical
Service Department or your local Frymaster Factory Authorized Servicer for assistance.
Before calling a servicer or the Frymaster HOTLINE (1-800-551-8633):
• Verify that electrical cords are plugged in and that circuit breakers are on.
• Verify that water supply valves are open and that drain valves are fully closed.
DANGER
Hot water can cause severe burns. Never attempt to move a cooker containing hot
water or to transfer hot water from one container to another.
DANGER
Use extreme care when performing electrical circuit tests. Live circuits will be
exposed.
WARNING
Inspection, testing, and repair of electrical components should be performed only by
qualified service personnel. The equipment should be unplugged when servicing,
except when electrical tests are required.
