Puri Tandoors uses a safety pilot system to ignite the burner and monitor flames and to
shut off the gas supply in case of loss of burner or pilot flames. The gas supplies tothe
pilot and burner are fed through a thermo- magnetic safety valve. A thermocoupleis
part of the safety systems and it functions to hold the gas valve open after a properpilot
flame is established.
Before firing of unit, place the burner baffle plate (perforated plate) over burner and
place a layer of rocks / clay balls evenly and level onto the plate. Only use rocks as
supplied with the appliance (
