LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
Main Burner Air Supply:
For efficient burner operation, a proper balance of gas
volume and primary air supply must be maintained
which will result in complete combustion. Insufficient air
supply results in a yellow streaming flame. Primary air
supply is controlled by an air shutter on the front of the
burner. Loosen the screws on the front of the burner,
and adjust the air shutter to just eliminate the yellow
tips of the burner flame. Lock the air shutter in place by
tightening the screws.
European Community:
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.
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 units’ sides
or back. Avoid wall type fans which create air cross-
currents 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.
MAINTENANCE
Use only non-abrasive cleaners. Abrasive cleaners
could scratch the finish of your unit, marring
its appearance and making it susceptible to
dirt accumulation. Do Not use steel wool, other
abrasive cleaners or cleaners/sanitizers containing
chlorine, iodine, ammonia, or bromine chemicals
as these will deteriorate the stainless steel and
glass material and shorten the life of the unit.
CAUTION
Daily:
1. Thoroughly clean back, sides, top and front of unit.
2. Clean grates daily.
Weekly
1. Clean unit thoroughly. Clean stainless steel or
chromed surfaces with a damp cloth and polish
with a soft, dry cloth. A detergent may be used for
cleaning. To remove discolorations, use a non-
abrasive cleaner.
2. To clean the drip pan: Remove the drip pan by
grabbing the handle and pulling it out of the
opening in the front panel. To replace the pan,
reverse this procedure.
3. Burner air shutter openings must be kept clean.
4. Main burner ports must be kept clean. To clean
burners, boil them in a strong solution of lye water
for 15 to 20 minutes. Then either brush with a
wire brush or clean gas ports with a sharp pointed
metal instrument to insure open ports.
Clean the regulator at least once a month. Make
sure the vent opening is open and not blocked in
any way. Failure to do so will cause variations in
pressure. Your unit will not function as well and it
could shorten the life of the product.
