Chapter 5: Maintenance, Adjustments, and Service
This chapter provides you with the information and procedures necessary to perform Rethermalizer maintenance,
adjustments, and service. If after performing maintenance on your Rethermalizer it does not operate properly, contact
your authorized service center.
WARNING
The power supply must be disconnected before servicing or cleaning the appliance.
NOTICE (Gas machines)
The unit may have casters and therefore has a quick disconnect gas connection and a restra ining device. These are
located in the rear of the machine. Care should be exercised when moving the unit out to be serviced. When you are
moving the unit back into place ensure that you connect the restraining device before you move the unit back into
place. You should also be careful not to kink the gas or water hose. The casters are equipped with locking devices on
the front casters only. Make sure the casters are set to the locked position before attempting to run the machine.
Daily Cleaning:
WARNING
The power supply must be disconnected before servicing or cleaning the appliance
CAUTION
Do NOT use chlorine based cleaning agents in your tank, the chlorine will attack the
metal and lead to premature failure.
Your Rethermalizer should be cleaned every day to maintain peak performance and appearance. Use warm water with
a mild detergent, rinsing with clear water, and drying with a soft, cloth to clean exterior surfaces. Wipe down the unit
using a clean soft cloth to clean up water spillage. Use a nonabrasive scouring powder or pad to clean stains if
necessary.
Weekly Cleaning:
The continuous filling and evaporation of water from the Rethermalizer will cause deposit build up around the tank. At
least once a week the unit should be thoroughly cleaned to remove these deposits and generally clean the unit. Perform
the cleaning as described below.
a. Fill the tank with water and add the sample packet of Pitco Fryer Cleaner that was shipped with your new
Rethermalizer. ( If Pitco Fryer Cleaner is not available a mild detergent may be substituted.)
b.
Turn the Rethermalizer on and allow it to reach normal operating temperature. Allow the unit to soak for a short
time to remove the oil coating. Use the supplied cleaning brush to clean the tank. On
