Lighting the Main Burners
These Griddles are fitted with individual standing pilots for each burner. Flame Failure Protection is
incorporated for each burner by way of a thermo-electric system which will shut off the gas supply to that
burner in the event that the burner goes out, so that un-burnt gas is not expelled.
•
Select the burner required, depress and turn the corresponding gas control knob anti-clockwise to the
‘
PILOT
’
position.
•
With the gas control knob depressed, manually light the pilot burner.
•
Release the gas control knob after approximately 10-20 seconds after lighting the pilot burner.
•
The pilot burner should stay alight - if not, repeat the above steps.
•
Rotate the gas control knob anti-clockwise to the desired temperature mark.
•
The main burner will be now ignited automatically.

the Main Burners / Pilots
•
To turn
‘
OFF
’
the main burner, but keep the pilot burner lit, rotate the gas control knob to the
‘
PILOT
’
position. The main burner will extinguish and the pilot will remain lit.
•
To turn
‘
OFF
’
the
‘
PILOT
’
, depress and turn the gas control knob clockwise back to the
‘
OFF
’
position. The
‘
PILOT
’
burner will extinguish.
Note: Please wait at least 15 seconds to restart the main burners to maintain the best function of the
thermostat valve after turning off the main burners.
CAUTION:
All burners are lit from constantly burning pilots. Turning the valve to the desired flame height is all that
is required to put the unit in service. Do not permit fans to blow directly at the unit. Wherever possible, avoid open
windows next to the unit
’
s sides or back. Avoid wall-type fans, which create air crosscurrents within a room.
It is also necessary that sufficient air should be allowed to enter the room to compensate for the amount of air
removed by any ventilating system. Otherwise, a subnormal atmospheric pressure will occur, affecting
operation and causing undesirable working conditions.
A properly designed and installed hood will act as the heart of the ventilating system for the room or area in
which the unit is installed, and will leave the unit independent of changing draft conditions.
All valves must be checked and lubricated periodically. This must be done by an authorized service
representative in your area.
OPERATION
Turn the burners on about 15-20 minutes before cooking for preheating. Set the knobs to the desired flame height
or temperature. Each valve will control the gas flow to the burner to bring that area of the unit up to the set
temperature. If different temperature settings are to be used, adjoining areas should be set at progressively higher
temperatures using the lowest temperatures on the outside burners. A uniform and systematic approach to the
loading of the unit will produce the most consistent product results.
