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 4), can be used to raise the water level for
boil-out or in the case of a failure in the auto-refill mode. Ensure water solenoid by-pass switch is
turned off when water filling is no longer desired.
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.
3. Turn the gas valve knob to the PILOT position.
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.
8. If the burners fail to light, press the switch to turn the
computer OFF and wait 60 seconds. Repeat the preceding steps.
