Therma-tek TMD36-6-1 Restaurant Series, Onwers Manual And Installation Instructions, Page: 7 / 12

INITIAL START-UP
All THERMA-TEK appliances are adjusted and tested before leaving the factory. Adjustments and
calibrations may be necessary upon installation to meet local conditions, low gas characteristics; problems
caused by rough handling or vibration during shipping, and are to be performed only by qualified service
personnel. These adjustments are the responsibility of the customer and or dealer and are not covered by
our warranty.
Check all gas connections for leaks with a soapy water solution before lighting pilots.
Do not use an open
flame to check for leaks. Putting an open flame beside a new gas connection is extremely dangerous.
Before lighting any pilots, make sure that burner valves and thermostats are in the off position.
