Operating Instructions
Operating the Griddle - Pilot Lighting Instructions for MANUALLY CONTROLLED Griddles
Before operating 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. (Main gas valve is supplied by others.)
3. Turn “ON/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, Adjust the pilot valve, make sure the pilot flame at 1/2 inch height.
6. 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 reset burner ignition. The pilot
flame s 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.
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
