5. TESTING PROCEDURE
5.1 Bubbling test
Input the pan in the main body, and lightly rotate the pan clockwise and counter clockwise to
settle the pan on the heating plate properly.
1. Fill water until the center area of the pan bottom is dipped, and close the lid. Then turn
on the switch.
2. When it begins boiling to produce steam, remove the lid and immediately check the
bubbling condition on the pan bottom.
3. As show in the right figure.
Bubbles generate through out the circumference of the pan bottom ............... Proper
Bubbles does not generate on more than one quater part of the pan bottom
circuference .................................................................................................. Improper
If it is improper, it may result from the insufficient contact between the pan bottom and the
heating plate. Check the pan bottom and the heating plate for foreign material remained.
Clean off the foreign material or replace the parts.
5.2 Evaporation test
1. Check that bubbling is prper, and opern the lid and place a weight.
Note:
To prevent plastic parts from deformation caused by steam, be sure to open the lid fully.

Bubbling
Place a weight so that its gravitycenter may be aligened at the center.
2. Fully cover 2 to 3 sheet of tissue paper (gauze also applicable) on the pan bottom, and
continnously flow electric current.
Note: To prevent tissue paper from floating because of bubbling, previously hole the paper.
3.
Water on the pan bottom is completely evaporated to ve empty. This timimg is an follows:
Within 1 minute before the boiling switch is turned off.
Within 1 minute after the boiling switch is turned off.

5.4 Boiling control lever adjustment
Such a mechanical operation as center thermostat goes up and down is used to turn on and
off the micro-switch. Check and adjust this relationship as shown below.
The above conditions are proper.

5.3 Heat reserving test
1.
Put approx. 1 liter of water and the thermometer [repairing tool (mercury thermometer ASN-150H)]
in the pan, close the lid and turn on the boiling switch.
2. When it begins boiling to generate steam, turn off the boiling switch.
3.
Add water or keep the lid opened until the reading of the thermometer falls to approx. 70°C.
4.
When it becomes approx. 70°C, close the lid. After the warming heater is activated for 1 hour
or more, check the heat reserving temperature.
Within 69°C to 77°C.................Proper.
If outside 69°C to 77°C, check TRS mounting for irregularity. If it is proper, replace warming heater.

Checking The auxiliary lever presses the push-button
(The “WARM” lamp comes on.)
The auxiliary lever does not press the push-
button (The “COOK” lamp comes on.)
Adjusting To gain the above relationship, adjust the auxiliary lever by bending it with long nose pliers.
If it is improper, check the contact between the pan bottom and the heating plate, and
the center thermostat. Repair or replace if necessry.
