Installation
Operation
Prior to connecting the regulator, check the incoming line pressure. The regulator can only withstand a
maximum pressure of ½ PSI (14” WC). If the line pressure is beyond this limit, a step down the regulator
before the regulator provided will be required. The arrow on the bottom shows gas flow direction and should
point downstream to the equipment.
LIGHTING THE PILOT
The manifold units are equipped with standing pilots and each should be lit immediately after the gas is
supplied to the equipment.
1.
Before attempting to light the pilots, turn off the main gas valve to the equipment and wait 5 minutes to
clear the gas.
2. Turn off all gas control knobs.
3. Turn on control valve and light all pilots.
4.
The pilot burner must be lit at the end of the tube. Hold an ignition source through the pilot light hole in the
front panel at the pilot tube. When the flame ignites remove ignition source.
5.
Turn off the main gas valve to shut down the equipment.
Smoke appearing on initial use of the equipment is normal. This is a result of the rust preventative coating
burning off. Allow the equipment to “burn in” for at least 15 minutes before the first use.
PILOT FLAME REGULATION
• The pilot flame on the equipment has been factory adjusted. When adjustment is necessary, adjust the pilot
flames as small as possible but high enough to light the burner. Immediately after, turn the burner valve to
the highest setting. Access to the pilot flame adjustment screw is obtained by removing the front panel.
BURNER ADJUSTMENT
•
Remove the front panel to gain access. Turn burner valve knob to highest setting. Slowly decrease mixing
ring aperture to give a soft blue flame having luminous tips. Then slowly increase opening to a point where
the yellow tips disappear and a hard blue flame is obtained.
Before initial use, turn the gas control knob to the maximum setting and allow the equipment to burn-in for 15
minutes. Seeing smoke coming from the cooking surface is normal during burn-in. After 15 minutes of burn-in,
equipment is ready for use.
1.
Hold the leg and rotate the adjustable feet so the equipment is level.
2.
Check the drip tray frequently and add water as necessary.
3. To ignite the burner, press and turn the gas control knob to high position.
4.
Allow the equipment to pre-heat before attempting to use.
5. Adjust the valve set-point to obtain the desired level of heat.
