NOTE: If the water pot is allowed to boil dry and exceeds 275ºF, the hi-limit safety will shut down the unit and light the red TROUBLE indicator. To reset:

Allow the water pot to cool, refill with fresh water, then press the red button on the back of the element head until it “clicks” and stays in. If tripping persists, see Troubleshooting Suggestions, page 8.

NORMAL OPERATION

1.a. Be sure the TEMPERATURE CONTROL KNOB is turned to OFF.

b.Lower the ELEMENT HEAD into the frypot by pushing back on the BASKET SUPPORT ROD, raising the ELEMENT HEAD SUPPORT ROD, then carefully lowering the elements.

2.Fill the WATER POT with fresh water to the scribed water level line. Capacity: 9 quarts

IMPORTANT: DO NOT overfill the water pot. Cold water will expand as it heats. Adding too much water will allow the water pot to overflow during operation.

Water will evaporate, and be captured by the food product during cooking. For best results, maintain proper water level in the water pot during operation.

3.Turn the TEMPERATURE CONTROL KNOB to the desired temperature. The HEAT INDICATOR will glow. When the water reaches the desired temperature, the heat indicator will go out. The heat indicator will go off and on during operation as the thermostat cycles to maintain temperature.

Pre-heat times 70ºF to 210ºF (approximate): F-49RT (208 volts) - 20 minutes F-49RT (240 volts) - 10 minutes

4.Load one to four portion cups no more than 1/2 full with pasta.

a.DO NOT overload portion cups. For best results, load portion cups uniformly to half full.

b.Using the handle, lower the rack into the hot water. Cooking time is approximately 30 seconds.

c.When food is cooked, lift the rack out of the water by the handle. Hang the rack on the RACK SUPPORT ROD to drain.

5.When the heat indicator light cycles off, the rethermalizer is ready to cook the next load.

Approximate performance guide (refrigerated to serving temperature)

F-49RT (208 volts) - 120 4 oz. servings per hour F-49RT (240 volts) - 180 4 oz. servings per hour

6.Reduce temperature control to 150ºF or less during idle periods to save power. The rethermalizer will return to operating temperature in just a few minutes when needed.

7.Keep the rethermalizer clean at all times. Rinse portion cups and baskets frequently to minimize starch build up,

8.Drain the rethermalizer completely after use. Replace the water in the water pot daily, or more often if starch build up is excessive. Allow the water pot to cool before removing it from the cabinet.
