CHAPTER 1: SERVICE PROCEDURES 1.1 Functional Description FGP55 Series gas rethermalizers contain a welded stainless steel cookpot that is heated by gas flames diffused evenly through tubes built into the cookpot. Flames originate from orifices in a burner manifold positioned beneath the burners. The burners are positioned in the tube openings, at the front of the cookpot.

(setpoints). The temperatures are programmed by means of a keypad on the face of the computer. All FGP55 Series gas rethermalizers are equipped with a high-limit thermostat. In the event that the rethermalizer fails to properly control the water temperature, the high-limit thermostat prevents the rethermalizer from overheating.
FGP55 SERIES GAS RETHERMALIZERS CHAPTER 1: SERVICE PROCEDURES 1.2 Accessing Rethermalizers for Servicing DANGER Moving a rethermalizer filled with water may cause spilling or splattering of the hot liquid.

FGP55 SERIES GAS RETHERMALIZERS CHAPTER 1: SERVICE PROCEDURES 1.7 Troubleshooting and Problem Isolation This section is intended to provide technicians with a general knowledge of the broad problem categories associated with this equipment, and the probable causes of each. With this knowledge, the technician should be able to isolate and correct any problem encountered.
Page 25
FGP55 SERIES GAS RETHERMALIZERS CHAPTER 1: SERVICE PROCEDURES 1.7.1 Ignition Failures (cont.) Problems Related to the Electronic Circuits If gas and electrical power are supplied to the rethermalizer, the next most likely cause of ignition failure is a problem in the 24 VAC circuit. First verify that the float switch valve is fully closed and not sticking.
Page 26
FGP55 SERIES GAS RETHERMALIZERS CHAPTER 1: SERVICE PROCEDURES 1.7.2 Improper Burner Functioning (cont.) If popping occurs only during peak operating hours, the problem may be incorrect or fluctuating gas pressure. Verify that the incoming gas pressure (pressure to the gas valve) is in accordance with the appropriate CE or Non-CE requirements listed in the Installation and Operation manual that came with the rethermalizer, and that the pressure remains constant throughout all hours of usage.
Page 27
FGP55 SERIES GAS RETHERMALIZERS CHAPTER 1: SERVICE PROCEDURES Burners lighting on the left side only may be caused by a trailing pilot problem or improper burner manifold pressure. Fluctuating flame intensity is normally caused by either improper or fluctuating incoming gas pressure, but may also be the result of variations in the kitchen atmosphere.
