OPERATION  
WARNING: BURN HAZARD  
Contact with boiling water can cause severe burns.  
Always wear protective clothing and heat resistant gloves when operating the appliance.  
NORMAL OPERATION  
CAUTION:  
Hot Surface  
1. a. Be sure the TEMPERATURE CONTROL KNOB is turned to  
OFF.  
Exposed surfaces can be hot  
to the touch and may cause  
burns.  
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.  
Fig. 3 Temperature Control  
Knob  
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.  
Fig. 4 Water Level Marking  
5. When the heat indicator light cycles off, the rethermalizer is ready to  
cook the next load.  
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.  
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.

The hi-limit safety is designed to shut down the unit if water pot is allowed to boil dry and temperature  
exceeds 275ºF. However, a build-up of cooking debris between the heating element and the  
thermobulb of the hi-limit safety will cause the hi-limit to trip prematurely. Clean the element so that  
water may circulate freely between the element and the thermobulb. Reset the safety by pressing the  
red button on the back of the element head.  
A build-up of cooking debris between the heating element and the thermobulb temperature control  
thermostat will cause inconsistent temperatures. Clean the element so that water may circulate freely  
between the element and the thermobulb.
