FGP55 SERIES RETHERMALIZERS

CHAPTER 3: OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

3.1 Introduction

The FGP55 rethermalizer is offered with a standing pilot with Piezo ignitor or electronic ignition. The unit is equipped with a low-level float switch, which allows ignition of the burners only after the proper water level is reached. An auto-refill float switch maintains the normal water level. A water by-pass switch, located below the control panel (see Page iv), can be used to raise the water level for boil-out or in the case of a failure in the auto-refill mode.

Cold food should not be added to the cookpot, if the rethermalizer is in the hot-food holding mode.

3.2 Lighting Instructions

CAUTION

Vessel MUST be filled with water before lighting.

Follow these instructions for units equipped with a standing pilot:

1.Press the switch to turn the computer ON. If the vessel is not filled to the proper level

with water, the AutoFill feature will add water to the proper level.

2.Turn the gas valve knob (open the door to gain access) to the OFF position. Wait 5 minutes before proceeding.

4.Push and hold the knob in. Simultaneously, press the Piezo ignitor button repeatedly until the pilot lights. Continue to depress the gas valve pilot knob approximately 60 seconds. Release the knob.

5.The pilot flame should remain lit. If the pilot goes out, wait at least 5 minutes, then follow Step 4 to re-light the pilot.

6.Turn the gas valve knob to the ON position.

7.An illuminated dot between digits 1 and 2 in either LED display indicates that the burners are lit.
