ELECTRICAL
CONNECTION
The Keating Custom Pasta Gas
System is equipped with a 9'
neoprene covered, 3 wire electrical
cord with a three-pronged grounded
plug for protection against electrical
shock. This plug must be placed into a
120V properly grounded
three-pronged outlet (NEMA 5-15 or 5-
20). For proper grounding procedures
see local codes or, in the absence of
local codes, the current National Electrical Code
ANSI/NFPA 70 or Canadian Electrical Code CAN 22.2
as applicable.
NOTE: The electrical wiring diagram for the Pasta
System is attached to the inside of the Pasta System
door. Some of the more common versions are included
in the back of this manual.
DO NOT CUT OR REMOVE THE GROUNDING
PRONG FROM THIS PLUG.
GAS LEAK TESTING
Prior to lighting your Pasta System:
1. Make sure all thermostats, switches and safety
valves are in the “OFF” position.
2. Turn main supply gas cock (Item 18, page 20) to
the “ON” position.
3. Have your plumber or gas company check for leaks
with a soap solution or sniffer. (NEVER check with
an open flame)
4. Have your plumber or gas company representative
light the constant pilot. (Not necessary if your Pasta
System has an optional spark ignitor.)
NOTE: It is estimated that half of all service calls
made on Keating Pasta Gas Systems result from an
inadequate gas supply. During installation, have a gas
company representative make certain that the Pasta
System is receiving adequate gas pressure and volume.
PROPANE GAS MAY EVENTUALLY LOSE ITS ODOR
AND PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN TO
ASSURE THAT IT IS NOT PRESENT EVEN THOUGH
YOU DO NOT DETECT AN ODOR. IF THERE IS ANY
DOUBT, YOU SHOULD CALL YOUR LOCAL
PROPANE GAS SUPPLIER FOR ASSISTANCE.
CHECK GAS SUPPLY
PRESSURE
Special attention should be given to the supply pressure
and gas flow pressure at the supply connection to the
Pasta System. The nominal gas should be 4" WC for
natural gas and 10" WC for propane gas.
If the supply pressure is lower or higher than the rated
(nominal) pressure, then the reason should be investigated
and the gas supplier contacted.
If the supply is lower than 2
1
/2" WC or higher than 7" WC
for natural gas or lower then 9” WC or higher than 12" WC
for propane gas, then the Pasta System should be shut
down and a service company or supplier notified. No
adjustments should be made and the Pasta System should
not be operated.
ONLY BY CERTIFIED PROFESSIONAL
1. Turn off main gas supply valve.
2. Remove pressure measuring stud screw located at
the “out-flow” (closest to gas burner) of the gas
valve and attach a manometer.
3. Remove cover screw from the gas valve pressure
adjustment valve.
4. Open main gas supply valve and start Pasta
System according to instructions with the
thermostat set at 190°F(87.8°C).
5. Once the Pasta System is in operation, adjust
pressure valve to 4" WC for natural gas and 10” WC
for propane gas.
6. Turn Pasta System off, close main gas supply
valve, remove manometer and tighten cover screw
into pressure measuring stud.
SPECIAL NOTICES
The Pasta System should be operated only in an area that
has good air circulation.
The Pasta System must be installed under an electrically
powered ventilating hood.
The operator should be properly trained to the functioning
of the Pasta System.
This instruction manual should be supplied to the operator.
Constructional changes to the area where the Pasta
System is installed shall not affect the air supply to the
Pasta System. The installation, start-up and changes
required when changing from one gas type to another can
be performed only by a certified professional.
The Pasta System is intended only for commercial use and
is to be operated only by professionals.
It is required that the Pasta System is regularly inspected for
proper function. The frequency of inspections are
dependent of the Pasta System usage, however it should
be performed at least once a day.
After adjustment or service work the Pasta System has to
be checked for gas leaks.
