OPERATION

Safety & Gas Control Information

SAFETY INFORMATION

Contact the factory, the factory representative or a local 

service company to perform maintenance and repairs 

should the appliance malfunction.

   CAUTION

If you smell gas during the lighting procedure, 

immediately shut off the gas supply until the 

leak has been corrected.

   WARNING

In the event of main burner ignition failure, a 

5 minute purge period must be observed prior 

to re-establishing ignition source.

   WARNING

In the event you smell gas, shut down equip-

ment at the main shut off valve and contact 

the local gas company or gas supplier for 

service.

GAS CONTROL INSTRUCTIONS

The units do not require “lighting” the pilot with a match.

Lighting

NOTE:  Unit is shipped with gas combination valve turned 

“on”.

1.  Open manual gas shut off valve.
2.  Set thermostat to OFF, and kettle in fully upright posi-

tion, turn power switch ON.

3.  Set thermostat to maximum, initiating a 30 second 

pre-purge.  Red “COOKING” pilot will come on, and 

after 30 seconds, the green “IGNITION” pilot will 

come on, lighting the main burners.

If after 36 seconds the burner fails to ignite or the 

“ignition light goes out, the system goes into Safety 

Lockout.  De-energize the system by setting the ther-

mostat to “OFF” for five minutes and try again.

4.  Set the thermostat to desired temperature setting.  

When temperature setting has been reached, the “IG-

NITION” pilot will go off, turning off the burner.  The 

unit will then cycle on and off to maintain set tem-

perature.

NOTE:  When the kettle is tilted a safety switch will au-

tomatically turn off gas supply. The kettle will not 

operate once it has been tilted.

2.  Turn thermostat “OFF.”

2.  Turn thermostat  “OFF”.
3.  Turn power supply to unit “OFF”.
