INSTALLATION AND INITIAL CLEANING

INSTALLATION

1. Place the Rethermalizer in the location where it is to be operated.

2.  Have a licensed plumber level the Rethermalizer and connect a 1/2” copper water line equipped with a WATER SHUT-OFF VALVE to the plumbing connection on the rear of the Rethermalizer.
   NOTE Water hardness may affect the performance and longevity of component parts coming in direct contact with the water. Therefore, the local water supplier should be contacted to determine if the water to be used with the appliance should be treated with a filter, strainer, softener, and/or descaler.
   WARNING: ULTRAFRYER SYSTEMS INC. RESERVES THE RIGHT TO VOID WARRANTY OF COMPONENT PARTS WHICH FAIL OR ARE DAMAGED BY HARD WATER.

3. Have a licensed electrician perform the following:

   • Connect an UL approved 3 wire 30 ampere electrical
     cord to the terminal inside the units electrical box
     shown :

   • Install a NEMA rated electrical plug on the electrical cord.

   • Install a “mating” NEMA rated electrical receptacle on the wall behind the Rethermalizer operating location.

   • Connect the building ground to the ground lug located inside the unit’s electrical box.
     

4. . Test operate the Rethermalizer as follows:

   • Ensure the controls listed below are in the proper position: APPLICABLE CIRCUIT BREAKER IS ON ELECTRICAL PLUG IS CONNECTED TO THE ELECTRICAL WALL RECEPTACLE WATER SHUT-OFF VALVE IS OPEN DRAIN VALVE LEVER IS CLOSED
   • Fill the tub with water to the water overflow ports on the RIGHT side of the tub.
   • When the tub is filled:
   1. Turn the ON/OFF switch to the ON position. The AMBER lamp will LIGHT indicating the unit is being powered up. The RED lamp on the panel will LIGHT indicating the water is being heated.
   2. When the Pre-Set temperature of the water is reached the RED lamp will go OFF.
   3. Turn the ON/OFF switch to the OFF position, then turn the drain valve lever to the OPEN position and CAREFULLY drain water in the tub into a floor drain.

CAUTION: ALLOW ALL METAL SURFACES OF THE RETHERMALIZER TO COOL PRIOR TO PROCEEDING.

INITIAL CLEANING

1. Remove and THOROUGHLY wash the following items in the 3 compartment sink with HOT water and soap, rinse these parts with HOT water and allow them to air dry:
   STAINLESS STEEL CHUB BASKET
   STAINLESS STEEL TUB GRILL

2. THOROUGHLY wash the Rethermalizer tub with HOT water and soap; then rinse the tub with HOT water and allow it to air dry.

3. Wipe the top, side and front surfaces of the Rethermalizer with a HOT damp cloth.

4. When the chub baskets, grill and tub are dry, replace the grill and baskets in the tub.

MODEL REO-1620SE RETHERMALIZER OPERATION

GENERAL

The Thermostat Temperature dial can be adjusted to heat water in the Rethermalizer tub from 60°F (16ºC) to 212°F (100ºC). The recommended COOK temperature is 190°F (88ºC), and the suggested HOLD temperature is 170ºF (77ºC).

COOKING PROCEDURE

OPEN the Water Shut-Off Valve to fill the Rethermalizer Tub.
** 2| When water reaches the OVERFLOW PORTS on the RIGHT side of the tub, turn the Water Shut-Off Valve to the CLOSED position.
** 3| ** Set the Thermostat Temperature Dial to the desired COOK temperature; then turn the Toggle ON/OFF Switch to the ON position.| A The AMBER Power Indicator Lamp will LIGHT indicating power has been turned ON**.

B. The RED Heat Element Indicator Lamp will LIGHT indicating electrical power has been connected to the heat element to heat the water.

THE RECOMMENDED COOK TEMPERATURE IS 190ºF (88ºC).

** 4| When the RED Heat Element turns OFF indicating water is at the desired COOK temperature: 1) place the PRODUCT to be cooked into the Rethermalizer Tub; and 2) set an independent TIMER to the desired COOK TIME.| A. When product is placed into the water, the water temperature will drop, and the RED Heat Element Lamp will cycle ON and OFF , indicating the heat element is being turned ON and OFF to maintain the water at the desired COOK TEMPERATURE.
** 5| ** When the independent timer SOUNDS indicating the product has been COOKED; 1) set the Thermostat temperature to the desired HOLD tem- perature; and 2) reset the independent timer to the desired HOLD time.| A. The RED Heat Indicator Lamp will init- ally turn OFF as the water temperature drops to the HOLD temperature; then the RED lamp will cycle ON and OFF as the heat element is turned ON and OFF to maintain the water at the desired HOLD temperature.
THE RECOMMENDED HOLD TEMPERATURE IS 170ºF (77ºC).
CAUTION: WATER LEVEL WILL DROP ABOUT 4” (102 mm) EVERY 8 HOURS DUE TO EVAPORATION. PERIODICALLY, VISUALLY CHECK THE RETHERMALIZER TUB TO ASSURE WATER IS ABOVE THE HEAT ELEMENT AND THE PRODUCT IS BEING HEATED OR HELD SATISFACTORY.**

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE, TROUBLESHOOTING AND CLEANING
