Gas machines special care should be taken to clean the crevices where the heat tubes meet the front and rear of 
the tank. You can use a non-abrasive scouring powder or pad to clean stains if necessary. When cleaning 
around the High Limit bulb (on gas units only) be careful not to damage the bulb or its capillary tube. 

c.       

When the cleaning is complete, press the       key to turn the Digital controller OFF, or the ON/OFF switch to 
turn the Computer OFF. Drain the water. 

d.      

When the tank has cooled, rinse it thoroughly with cool water. Continue to rinse the tank until the cleaner has 
been rinsed from the tank. 

e.      

Inspect the water level sensors located under the brackets in the front of the tank. If they are covered with or 
have nay debris build up, clean them with a scouring pad. 

f.       

Now that the tank is clean, you are ready to fill and operate the Rethermalizer. 

g.       

If during cleaning, or any other reason, the restraining device is disconnected, it must be reconnected and the 
Rethermalizer returned to its original cooking position before operated. 

Flue and Baffle Inspection (Gas machines only):

 

It is recommended that once every six months you examine the flue area and the burner tube baffles. With the cooker 
cooled down check for corrosion or blockage of the flue and erosion of the baffles. Ensure that the cooker is shutdown 
and do not turn it on during the examination. 

WARNING

 

Examination of the flue area during cooking may cause bodily injury.  

Service:

 

If servicing is required, electrical components can be accessed through the front panel. To gain access to the front panel, 
remove the four screws on the front panel. Remove the front panel and unplug the wiring harness, set aside with the four 
screws for installation after servicing is complete. An electrical diagram is supplied inside the front panel for use by an 
authorized service person. There is also an electrical diagram in the back of this manual. The electrical diagram can be 
used to verify the proper operation of the electrical systems. After servicing is complete, the diagram should be replaced 
for future reference and the front panel installed in the reverse order of removal. (If the electrical diagram has been 
removed and a service technician is working on the machine without the diagram, it will cause the technician to take 
longer in his repair, this may cost you more for the final repair.) 

WARNING

 

To prevent bums, always ensure that the unit is completely SHUT DOWN and 
COOLED before working on the Rethermalizer. On Gas machines DO NOT break 
any gas connections until the unit is disconnected from the gas supply line.
