Chapter 4: Operating Instructions 

This chapter describes how to operate your Rethermalizer to obtain the best performance.  

Filling the Rethermalizer:

 

The Rethermalizer is equipped with an automatic water level maintaining system. To fill the unit with water press      
the        (ON/OFF) key for Digital controls, press the ON/OFF switch for Computer controls. This causes the solenoid 
valve to open and supply water to the unit through the fill nozzle in the bottom of the tank. The tank will continue to fill 
until the water level reaches the level sensors. When both water level sensors are covered the solenoid valve will close 
stopping the flow of water. During normal operation the automatic fill system will maintain the water level at the proper 
height.     

 

CAUTION

 

The Rethermalizer has been installed using restraining devices to prevent accidental 
tipping or movement. Do not attempt to move the fryer when it has hot liquid in it. 
Splashing hot liquids can cause severe bums. 

Manual Operation of the Water Fill System;

 

Although the water fill system is completely automatic, the solenoid valve can be bypassed manually to fill the tank. To 
bypass the water solenoid valve open the valve in the bypass pipe. This should only be done if the solenoid valve fails 
and the Rethermalizer needs to be operated. When finished filling the Rethermalizer ensure that the solenoid manual 
bypass valve is returned to its normal position. 

NOTE

 

When the water solenoid is bypassed the automatic water fill system

 WILL NOT

 maintain the water level. The water 

level control system should remain in automatic during normal operation. 

Start-Up and Use:

 

a.       

Light the pilot light if you have a gas machine with a standing pilot 

b.      

Press the        key to turn the Digital controller ON or the ON/OFF switch if you have a Computer. If the water 
level in the tank is not at the proper operating height the solenoid valve will open and fill the tank. 

c.       

When the water reaches the correct operating level, the heating system will begin to heat the water and the 
controller will take over and control the water temperature. When the controller is calling for heat the red LED 
"Heating Light" will also be on. 

d.      

The heating system will remain on until 195°F is reached, at which time it will automatically turn off. The 
Rethermalizer is now up to temperature and ready to accept the food to be heated. 

e. 

The controller will maintain the water temperature at approximately 195°F and the water fill system will keep 
the water at the correct level.
