1) GAS VALVE

Turn on the “L” handle gas valve using your knee or hand. The valve is fully open when the valve is pointin
straight up at the 12 o’ clock position.

Jet type burners have only one valve per chamber.

For a three ring burner there is a master “L” valve and two shorter straight
handle valves. The “L” valves controls the gas fl ow for both sub valves, while
each sub valve controls either the inner or outer ring. Turn on the main
“L” valve and then set the two sub valves for the fl ame desired. You can
leave them at this setting and use the “L” valve to turn the burner on and off.

When the valve(s) are fully open most if not all of the jet tips or port orifi ces
should light. Do not be concerned they all do not light immediately. The
burners need the backpressure of the wok for all the jets to light.
2) WATER AND DRAIN
When the wok is in operation be sure that the water cooling line is running. Failure to do so will cause the deck
top to overheat and possibly warp. For a standard rear gutter unit, the water will wash from the front to the back
(and from the top of the backsplash if a waterfall backsplash option is included). For a front gutter unit, the water
will fl ow from the top of the backsplash to the front of the unit.
3) SHUTDOWN
At the end of service shut off all the burners, but leave the water on for several minutes, to wash away remaining
food scraps and cool the unit. Leave both standing and safety pilots lit.


If equipment requires service, contact your authorized gas service company to perform necessary repairs.

Check the fl ue riser monthly to be sure it is free of obstructions. Be sure to clean the air mixers and orifi ces of ring
burners once a year. Jet and shield tip burners must be serviced more often as they become clogged more easily.
This service must be performed by a qualifi ed gas service company.


Range should be cleaned each evening with grease dissolver and rinsed well. It will prevent grease
accumulation and keep the unit clean and sanitary.


If unit is supplied with casters, there should be a restraint on the appliance to limit its movement.
If disconnection of the restraint becomes necessary, it is imperative that the restraint be reconnected after the
appliance is returned to its originally installed position.
