LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
BPHHPi and BPHHPSi Gas Open Burner Ranges 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.
Pilot Operation 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 the Pilot
If the pilot light should go out for any reason:
• Promptly shut off all gas at the manual shut off
valve.
• Turn off all knobs and pilot valves; wait 5 minutes
to clear gas.
• Relight following steps 4 through 6 under Standing
Pilot Lighting Instructions.
Lighting the 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”.
• 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).
• 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.
• Turn knobs off and let cool
• 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.
• Keep the grease/water pan with sufficient water to
cover the entire bottom.
• Clean regularly. Grates may be removed for washing
in the sink. Brush out carbonized particles.
Thoroughly wash the grease/water pan.
Never attempt to move a grill section while
cooking. An unexpected flare could cause severe
injury. Turn off the unit, let it cool and use
potholders and/or gloves to reposition or remove.
The space between the legs at the bottom admits
combustion air, DO NOT BLOCK THIS SPACE.
