1-2 CAUTION CAUTION boxes contain information about actions or conditions that may cause or result in a malfunction of your system . WARNING WARNING boxes contain information a bout actions or conditions that may cause or result in damage to your system , and which may cause your sy stem to malfunction.
1-3 QUALIFIED INSTALLATION PERSONNEL Qualified installation personnel are individuals, or fi rms, corporations, or companies which, either in person or through a representative, are engaged in a nd are responsible for the installation of electri- cal and gas appliances.
2-1 FBR18 & FBRA18 SERIES GAS RETHERMALIZERS CHAPTER 2: INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 2.1 General Installation Requirements PROPER INSTALLATION IS ESSENTIAL FOR E FFICIENT, TROUBLE-FREE OPERATION OF YOUR RETHERMALIZER. ANY UNAUTHORI ZED ALTERATIONS MADE TO THIS EQUIPMENT WILL VOID THE Frymaster WARRANTY.
2-2 This equipment is manufactured to use the type of gas specified on the rating plate attached to the door. Connect equipment stamped “NAT” only to na tural gas and that stam ped “PRO” only to LP (Propane) gas. Installation shall be made with a gas connector th at com plies with national and local codes.
2-3 After the unit has been positioned in the area wher e it will be used, ensure the following has been accomplished before connecting the unit to the gas supply: 1. Adequate means must be provided to lim it the movem ent of this equipment without depending upon the gas line connections.
2-4 2.4 Connecting to the Gas Supply GAS CONNECTIONS AND PIPE SIZES The size of the gas supply pipe is very important. If the pipe is too sm all, the gas pressure at the burner manifold will be low. This will cause slow recovery and delayed ignition. The incom ing gas supply line should be a minimum of 1½ inches (38mm) ID.
2-5 WARNING “Dry-firing” this equipment will cause damage to the cookpot. Always ensure that the cookpot is filled with w ater before firing your unit. 4. It is suggested that the burner manifold pressu re be checked at this time by the local gas com - pany or an authorized service agent.
3-1 FBR18 & FBRA18 SERIES GAS RETHERMALIZERS CHAPTER 3: OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 3.1 Introduction Mechanically, the FBR18 and FBRA18 rethermalizer s are virtually identical, the only difference being that the FBRA18 units have an automatic filli ng (AutoFill) feature.
3-2 NOTE: The unit comes from the factory configured to display in degrees Fahrenheit. To toggle back and forth between Fahrenheit and Celsius, press the Celsius/Fahrenheit display switch.
3-3 1. Turn the gas valve to the ON position (see illustration below). OFF ON Hon e y w e l l 2. Press the controller Power switch. On FBR18 models , the burners will light for several sec onds then go out.
3-4 4. After the solution simmers for an hour, turn the un it off, allow the solution to cool, then add 2 gallons (7.75 liters) of cold water and stir. Drain the solution and clean the cookpot thoroughly. 5. Rinse the cookpot at least twice by filling with clean water and draining.

5-2 5.2 Troubleshooting Guides COOKPOT DID NOT FILL WHEN UNIT WAS TURNED ON. WATER SUPPLY TO UNIT VERIFIED TO BE ON. Did anything appear in controller display when unit was turned on? Open control panel by removing screws in each upper corner.
5-3 WATER DID NOT SHUT OFF WHEN COOKPOT WAS FULL. Use bottlebrush to clean water level sensors. Did water stop? Problem resolved. Add 1/8 cup of salt to water in cookpot and stir. Did water stop? Mineral content of water is insufficient for water sensor to detect it.
5-4 WATER NOT HEATING. AUTOFILL (IF INSTALLED) WORKED PROPERLY. Press the Temperature Check button twice to display setpoint. Has the correct setpoint been programmed? Did burners light? Did water reach setpoint temperature? Problem resolved. Insert a good grade thermometer into cookpot with tip near temperature probe and wait two minutes.
5-5 BURNERS DO NOT LIGHT. Verify that correct setpoint has been programmed, that main gas supply valve is open, and that equipment gas valve is set to ON. Press ON/OFF button. Did burners light? Problem resolved. Use bottlebrush to clean low water sensor.
5-6 5.3 Replacing the Controller or Controller Wiring Harness 1. Disconnect the rethermalizer from the electrical supply. 2. Remove the two screws in the upper corners of the control panel and swing the panel open from the top, allowing it to rest on its hinge tabs.

6-3 The relays in earlier design boards are soldered on and cannot be replaced. Later design boards fea- ture replaceable plug-in relays. In earlier designs boards, a heat relay (K2) switches 24VAC to the ignition and gas valve circuits when the controller h eat logic circuit calls for heat.
6-4 6.2 Accessing the Rethermalizer for Servicing DANGER Moving a rethermalizer filled with hot w ate r may cause spilling or splattering of the hot water. Alw ays drain the cookpot before attempting to relocate the unit for servic- ing. 1. Shut off the gas supply to the unit.
6-5 6.6 Replacing Components 6.6.1 Replacing the Controller or Controller Wiring Harness Refer to Chapter 5, Section 5.3 for this procedure. 6.6.2 Replacing the Temperature Probe 1.
6-6 5. On FBRA18 models only, mark the water level sens or wires and disconnect them from terminals J1-1 (upper sensor) and J1-2 (lower sensor). 6. Remove the nuts in each corner of the interface board and carefully pull the board off the m ount- ing studs, being careful not to dislodge the spacers on the studs.
6-7 6.6.6 Replacing the Combustion Air Blower Refer to Chapter 4, Section 4.4, Clean Combustion Air Blower , for instructions on removing and re- installing the combustion air blower. 6.6.7 Replacing the Gas Valve 1. Turn off the gas supply to the rethermalizer, unplug the unit, and drain the cookpot.
6-8 4. Remove the four screws from the blower stabilizi ng bracket attached to the blower assembly and to each burner. Remove the stabilizing bracket from the unit. 5. Remove the screw securing the blower support br acket to the cookpot assembly and lower the blower assembly out of the way.
6-9 knowledge of possible problems, and the probable cau ses of each. W ith this knowledge, the techni- cian should be able to isolate and correct any problem encountered. Problems that are likely to be encountered can be grouped into five broad categories: 1.
6-10 tion failure situation may be encountered in which all com ponents appear to be serviceable and the microamp reading is within specification, but the unit nevertheless goes into ignition failure during operation. The probable cause in this case is an inte rmittent failure of an i gnition module.
6-11 If popping is consistent during all hours of operation, the most likely cause is an insufficient air sup- ply. Check for “negative pressure” conditions in the kitchen area. If air is flowing into the kitchen area, this indicates that more air is being exhaus ted than is being replenished, and the burners may be starved for air.
6-12 6.7.3 Improper Temperature Control Temperature control is a function of several inte rrelated com ponents, each of which must operate correctly. The principle component is the temper ature probe. Other components include the inter- face board, the water level sensors (on FBRA18 units ), the controller, and the ignition module.
6-13 6.8.1 Troubleshooting the Gas Valve NOTE: All voltage measurements must be made within 4 seconds of unit calling for heat. If unit does not fire within 4 seconds, ignition modules will lock out and controller must be turned off then back on to reset.
6-14 6.8.2 Troubleshooting the 24 VAC Circuit in FBR18 Units NOTE: All voltage measurements must be made within 4 seconds of unit calling for heat. If unit does not fire within 4 seconds, ignition modules will lock out and controller must be turned off then back on to reset.

Is WATER LED lit? Is unit filling with water? Once water reaches upper water level sensor, does filling stop and WATER LED go out? Water leg of 24V circuit is OK.
6-17 6.8.3 Troubleshooting the 24 VAC Circ uit in FBRA18 Units (Continued) NOTE: All voltage measurements involving the gas valve leg of the 24V circuit must be made within 4 seconds of unit calling for heat. If unit does not fire within 4 seconds, ignition modules will lock out and controller must be turned off then back on to reset.
