LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
HMG Griddles are furnished with either a pilot safety valve or a standing pilot (not available in the European
Community). Please follow the instructions for your unit. HMG Griddles are furnished with either a flame
failure pilot or a standing pilot (not available in the European community).
Pilot Operation HMG Flame Failure Gas Valve:
Operation of the gas valve pilot:
1. Turn knob on the main gas valve to the pilot position
2. Depress knob to start gas flow to the pilot valve
3. Light pilot valve
a. Using a match or taper
4. Hold in knob for 15 to 30 seconds to heat up the thermocouple
5. Release knob and turn to the desired gas flow position
a. If pilot goes out repeat steps 1-4, some thermocouples will take longer to heat up
Standing Pilot Lighting Instructions: ( Not Available in the European Community )
The pilot lights on the broilers have been set at the factory. A screwdriver may be required for the first lighting
to adjust the flame for your elevation.
1. Turn off the manual shut off valve and wait 5 minutes to clear the gas.
2. Turn all knobs to the “OFF” position.
3. The valve can be accessed through an opening in the front panel or remove the cooking grates
and light the pilot from above.
4. Turn the manual shut off valve on.
5. Hold an ignition source (match) to both openings on the pilot tube. When the flames are
established, remove the ignition source.
6. Turn the burner knobs to “HI”. If the burner does not ignite, promptly open the pilot valve more. If
the pilot flame appears larger than necessary, turn it down and reset burner ignition. The pilot
flame should be as small as possible but large enough to guarantee reliable ignition of the
burners when the knobs are turned to “HI”.
RELIGHTING PILOT
If the pilot light should go out for any reason:
l Promptly shut off all gas at the manual shut off valve.
l Turn off all knobs and pilot valves; wait 5 minutes to clear gas.
l Relight following steps 4 through 6 under Standing Pilot Lighting Instructions.
HMG LIGHTING MAIN BURNER:
Since the burner is lit from constantly burning pilot, turn knobs to “HI” to put the unit in operation; then adjust
to any desired position between “LO” and “HI”.
l To light burner, turn knob to “max.” then back off to the desired flame level. The range of adjustment is
virtually infinite between high and off. (At the small flame, there is a pre-set low).
l
When the broiler is first heated, it will smoke until oil used in manufacturing, preservation and dust from
storage and shipping are burned off. An hour at “max.” on all burners is usually sufficient.
l Turn knobs off and let cool
l For first cooking, set the grates at maximum tilt position and preheat before broiling. You will have to
experiment with knob settings and grate position for each particular item.
l Clean regularly. Grates may be removed for washing in the sink. Brush out carbonized particles.
Thoroughly wash the grease/water pan.

If adjustment becomes necessary in the field, it should be done by a factory authorized and trained
technician who should seal the screw after the adjustment to safeguard against unauthorized tampering by
the end user.
