Operating Instructions
Operating the Griddle - Pilot Lighting Instructions for MANUALLY CONTROLLED Griddles
Before operating the Griddle, it should be checked to see that it is sitting level. Adjust the feet to level the Griddle.
Be sure the catch tray has been properly placed.
The pilot light on the appliance have been set at the factory. Each burner has a pilot light.
1. Make sure all knobs are in the “OFF” position.
2. The main gas valve should be “CLOSED/OFF” for five (5) minutes prior to lighting pilots to clear
any existing gas.
3.
Turn the main gas valve to “ON/OPEN”.
4. Light and hold an ignition source (match) at the pilot. When the flame is established, remove the
ignition source. Repeat this step for each burner as each burner has its own individual pilot.
The pilot can be reached through the holes in the front of the unit.
5. Turn each burner knob “ON”. If the burners do not ignite promptly, turn the knobs “OFF”. From the
opening in the front panel, use a screwdriver and turn the pilot valve screw counterclockwise which will
increase the flame height, and then repeat step 4.
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 “ON”. The holes located in the front panel are pilot valve adjustments. Use a
screwdriver to turn the valve to adjust the flame height
to your desired level.
Operating the Griddle - Pilot Lighting Instructions for Thermostatically CONTROLLED Griddles
These burners are fitted with individual standing pilots for each burner which allows the main burners to be turned
‘ON’ - ‘OFF’ without the need to manually re-light the burner each time that it is turned ‘ON’, as the burner will be
automatically lit itself by the pilot burner.
Flame Failure Protection is incorporated for each burner by way of a thermo-electric system which will shut off the
gas supply to that burner in the event that the burner goes out, so that un-burnt gas is not expelled
1. Select the burner, depress and turn the corresponding gas control knob counterclockwise to the
‘PILOT’ position.
2. With the gas control knob depressed, depress the pizeo igniter button to ignite the pilot burner.
3. Release the gas control knob approximately 10-20 seconds after lighting the pilot burner.
4. The pilot burner should stay lit. (If not, repeat Steps 2. to 3. above.)
5. Rotate the gas control knob counterclockwise to the desired temperature mark.
6. The main burner will be automatically ignite by the pilot burner.
7. Turn the gas control knob clockwise to the pilot position. The main burner will extinguish and the pilot
burner will remain lit.
8. To turn ‘OFF’ the appliance completely, turn the gas control knob fully clockwise to the ‘OFF’ position,
and the pilot burner will extinguish.
Note: To maintain the best function of the thermostatic valve, do not restart the burner less than 15 seconds
after turning off.
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.
