GENERAL OPERATION
Carefully read the description of the hotplate operation on the
specification sheet.
Do NOT use this appliance if it has been submerged in water.
Call a qualified technician to examine the appliance and to service
or replace any component which has been submerged. Burners
which have been allowed to become wet must be thoroughly dried
before use.
For initial startup, and any time the gas supply has been shut-off, it
may take several minutes to light the pilot while air in the piping and
manifolds is purged.
The burner control knobs must be turned by hand only. Never use
tools to turn the control knob. If the knob will not turn by hand, do
NOT attempt to force or repair it. Contact your manufacturer for re-
pairs. Forced or improperly repaired valves
pose the risk of fire and/or explosion.
Make sure burners, pilot burner and grate assembly are properly
installed before attempting to operate.
LIGHTING THE PILOT LIGHT
Before lighting the pilot light, smell all around the appliance area for
gas. Be sure to smell near floor level because some gas is heavier
than air and will settle to the floor.
For initial startup, and any time the gas supply has been shut-off, it
may take several minutes to light the pilot while air in the piping and
manifolds is purged.
The pilot light must be lighted by hand:
Turn both control knobs to the full OFF position.
Be sure the gas shut-off valve is ON and the appliance has had
time for the air to be purged from the lines.
Light the pilot with a long match or fireplace lighter. Use of a
cigarette lighter is NOT recommended.
SHUT DOWN INSTRUCTIONS
Turn all burner knobs to OFF.
Turn all pilots OFF.
Turn the main gas supply OFF.
WARNING:
FIRE HAZARD
IF YOU SMELL GAS:
DO NOT try to light any appliance.
DO NOT touch any electrical switch
DO NOT use any telephone in your
building.
In the event a gas odor is
detected, shut down the
unit at the main gas shutoff
valve and contact your
local gas supplier from a
neighboring location.
Follow the instructions
received from the gas
supplier immediately
and exactly.
