III.Operation
Ignition of main burners
1.These grilles are equipped with individual pilots for each burner. Flame failure protection is incorporated
for each burner by means of a thermoelectric system that will shut off the gas supply to that burner in the
event the burner goes out, so that unburned gas is not expelled.
2. Select the desired burner, press and turn the corresponding gas control knob counterclockwise to the
position 'PILOT'.
3. With the gas control knob depressed, manually ignite the pilot burner.
4. Release the gas control knob approximately 10-20 seconds after the pilot burner is lit.
5. The pilot burner should remain lit - if not, repeat the previous steps.
6. Turn the gas control knob counterclockwise to the desired temperature mark.
7. The main burner will ignite automatically.
Turn burners on approximately 15-20 minutes before cooking for preheating. Set the knobs to the desired
flame height or temperature. Each valve will control the flow of gas to the burner to bring that area of the
unit to the set temperature. If different temperature settings are to be used, adjacent areas should be set
to progressively higher temperatures using the lower temperatures on the outside burners. A uniform and
systematic approach to loading the unit will produce the most consistent results.
IV.Shutdown of main burners/pilots
1. To turn off the main burner, but keep the pilot burner lit, turn the gas control knob to the 'PILOT'
position. The main burner will shut off and the pilot will remain lit.
2. To turn off the 'PILOT', press and turn the gas control knob clockwise to the 'OFF' position. The 'PILOT'
burner will shut off.
CAUTION: All burners are lit by pilots that burn constantly. Turning the valve to the desired flame height is
all that is required to place the unit in service. Do not allow fans to blow directly on the unit. If possible,
avoid open windows near the sides or back of the unit. Avoid wall fans, which create cross drafts within a
room.
3. It is also necessary to get enough air into the room to compensate for the amount of air removed by any
ventilation system. Otherwise, subnormal air pressure will occur, affecting operation and causing
undesirable working conditions.
4. A properly designed and installed hood will act as the heart of the ventilation system for the room or
area in which the unit is installed, and will leave the unit independent of changing draft conditions.
5. All valves should be checked and lubricated periodically. This should be done by an authorized service
representative in your area.
