OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Operating the Hot Plate
– Pilot Lighting Instructions for MANUALLY CONTROLLED OPEN BURNERS
Before operating the Hot Plate, it should be checked to see that it is sitting level. Adjust the feet to level the
Hot Plate. Be sure the catch tray has been properly placed.
The pilot light on the appliance has 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. (Main gas valve is supplied by others.)
3. Turn on or open the main gas valve to the unit.
4. Light and hold an ignition source (match) at the pilots. 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 repeat step 4.
If the pilot flame appears larger than necessary, turn it down and retest the 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”. In 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.
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 into service.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Igniting the Burner
To ignite the burner, turn knob
to the “ON” position, then back off to the desired flame level. The range of
adjustment is virtually infinite between “ON” and “OFF”. The space between the legs at the bottom admits
combustion air. DO NOT BLOCK THIS SPACE.
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 into service.
Do not perm
it fans to blow directly at the unit. Whenever possible, avoid open windows next to the unit’s sides
or back. Avoid wall type fans because they will 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 ventilation 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 ventilation system for the room or area in
which the unit is installed, and will leave the unit independent of changing draft conditions.
NOTE: It may be necessary to adjust the balance of gas, volume, and air supply to each burner. This must be
done by an authorized service technician.
