Pitco RTE14 Installation And Operation Manual Download Page 5

Chapter 1: General Information and Installation 

The Pitco Frialator Rethermalizer is a revolutionary new reheating unit. By using Pitco Frialator's Quick Heating 
Systems, the Rethermalizer is up to temperature and ready to cook within 30 to 45 minutes. The RTG14 cook tank 
holds approximately 15 gallons of water and the RTG18, approximately 30 gallons, whose level is maintained 
automatically by the unit. The water temperature is monitored and controlled by its own Electronic Temperature 
Control mounted in the front panel. Each Temperature Control is preset at the factory to maintain the water 
temperature at 195°F. It is fully programmable for cases of increased altitude where the cook temperature must be 
decreased. Quick recovery time and even temperatures are assured by using heating elements on electric machines or 
heating tubes on gas machines. The Rethermalizer is very easy to use, allowing you to Rethermalize and not worry 
about the unit. However, it is important that you familiarize yourself with the operation and safety notices of this 
manual. This manual contains the Installation, Operation, Maintenance and Service procedures for the Rethermalizer. 
Do not discard this manual, store it in a safe place for future reference. 

Checking your new Rethermalize r:

 

Every effort has been made to ensure that your Rethermalizer will be delivered to you in perfect condition. As you 
unpack the Rethermalizer, inspect the unit for damage. If something is damaged, DO NOT sign the bill of lading, and 
save the packing materials. Contact the Freight Company immediately, because they are only responsible for 15 days 
after delivery. Check the packing list enclosed with your Rethermalizer to ensure that you have received everything on 
the list. If you are missing any parts, contact the dealer from whom the unit was purchased. As you unpack the 
Rethermalizer be careful to keep its weight evenly distributed. 

 

Locate your Pitco Frialator warranty and make note of the Date Received and Model and Serial Numbers, located on 
the Data plate mounted on the inside of the door. Put your warranty in a safe place for future reference. DO NOT 
return the warranty sheet to Pitco Frialator. With the exception of the Legs or Casters, the Rethermalizer has been fully 
assembled for you at the factory and is ready to be installed.
