Operating Instructions
1) Ensure that the gas supply is connected and the manual shut off valve is open.
2) Fire a flame in a long stick, depress the knob of the burner control and turn to “HI”
position.
3) Approximate the flame to the burner through the guide tube and the burner will start. At
this time the respective pilot burner will fire too.
4) Do item 2~3 for all burners to have pilot burners lighted.
5) When burners are lighted, adjust the knob to until the desired flame setting is achieved.
6) Before cooking on the appliance for the first time, clean the surface and turn the control
to maximum heat and allow it to BURN IN for approximately 20 minutes. You will notice
smoke appearing due to the protective coating residues burning off. THIS IS NORMAL.
7) After burn-in time has elapsed, turn the control knob down to the required operating
temperature and grease plate/grate generously with butter or oil. Never allow excess
fat or oil to build up as this will result in excess deposits of carbon on the plate.
8) It may be necessary to adjust the burner air shutter and the Low flame setting. This
needs to be undertaken only after initial installation and should only be required once.
To adjust the above, the following procedure needs to be followed:
a) Remove cooking top (grates or plate).
b) Remove radiant element and its grates (for Charbroiler version only).
c) Ignite all burners
d) Set each burner to “Low” position.
If the flame is too small or inconsistent an adjustment can be done by removing the
control knob and setting the gas flow using the screw in the center of the axle of the
gas valve.
e) Burner adjustment (must be done without the front panel - #14):
1) Turn burner knob to “HI” position.
2) Slowly turn the air regulator (drawing num.15) towards the burner tube to give a
soft blue flame having luminous tips, then slowly turn the air regulator back to a point
where the yellow tips disappear and a hard blue flame is obtained.
f) Shut down instructions
1) Any of the burners can be shutdown individually by turning the relevant knobs to
the “OFF” position.
2) Should a complete shutdown be required, turn the manual shut off valve in the
appliance and in the gas line.
3) Allow a 5 minute complete shut off period before re-lighting the appliance.

e) Any adjustment to the regulator may only be made by qualified service
personnel.
7) Gas Conversion
Conversion from Propane to Natural Gas or vice versa may only be performed by
the factory or its authorized service agent.
In case of troubleshooting, ensure that the correct orifice sizes of the spuds have
been provided.
PLEASE NOTE!
ORIFICE FOR NATURAL GAS IS: 1.6mm DIAMETER
ORIFICE FOR L.P. GAS IS: 0.9mm DIAMETER
8) Gas Connection
(For the installation code, see note 4 in the Safety Precaution)
9) Gas Piping
Gas piping shall be of such size and so installed as to provide a supply of gas sufficient
to meet the full gas input of the appliance. If the appliance is to be connected to
existing piping, it shall be checked to determine if it has adequate capacity. Joint
compound (pipe dope) shall be used sparingly and only on the male threads of the
pipe joints. Such compounds shall be resistant to the action of L.P. gases.
WARNING: Any loose dirt or metal particles, which are allowed to enter the gas lines
on this appliance, will damage the valve and affect its operation. When installing this
appliance, all pipe and fittings must be free from all internal loose dirt.
10) Manual Shut Off Valve
A manual shut off valve should be installed upstream from the manifold and within six
feet of the appliance and in a position where it can be reached in event of an
emergency, however the appliance is equipped with a manual shut off valve located
under the body in the right side that can be actuated in case of necessity.
