Operation
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”.
Lighting main burner
To light burner, turn knob to “ON.” Then back off to the desired flame level. The range of adjustment is virtually
infinite between “ON” and “OFF”.
Main burner air supply
1.
For efficient burner operation, a proper balance of gas volume and primary air supply must be maintained
which will result in complete combustion. Insufficient air supply results in a yellow streaming flame. Primary
air supply is controlled by an air shutter on the front of the burner.
2. Loosen the screws on the front of the burner and adjust the air shutter to just eliminate the yellow tips of
the burner flame. Lock the air shutter in place by tightening the screws.
CAUTION:
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. Do not permit fans to blow directly at the unit. Wherever possible,
avoid open windows next to the unit’s sides or back. Avoid wall-type fans, which create air crosscurrents 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 ventilating 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 ventilating system for the room or area in
which the unit is installed, and will leave the unit independent of changing draft conditions.
All valves must be checked and lubricated periodically. This must be done by an authorized service
representative in your area.
SEASON GRIDDLE
Heat to low temperature (300 - 350°F/150-180°C) and pour on a small amount of cooking oil, about one ounce
(30cc) per square foot of surface. Spread the oil over the entire griddle surface with a cloth to create a thin film.
Wipe off any excess oil with a cloth. Repeat this procedure 2 to 3 times until the griddle has a slick, mirror-like
surface.
OPERATION
Turn the burners on about 15-20 minutes before cooking for preheating. Set the knobs to the desired flame
height or temperature. Each valve will control the gas flow to the burner to bring that area of the unit up to the
set temperature. If different temperature settings are to be used, adjoining areas should be set at progressively
higher temperatures using the lowest temperatures on the outside burners. A uniform and systematic approach
to the loading of the unit will produce the most consistent product results.
