Owner’s/Installer Manual Rev 1E
Checking For Gas Leaks:
Using a gas leak detector or a soapy water solution is recommended for locating
gas leaks. Matches, candle flame, or other sources of ignition shall not be used for this purpose. Check entire
piping system for leaks.
Exhaust Canopy:
Cooking appliances inherently create a good deal of heat and smoke and should be
installed under an efficient exhaust hood with flame proof filters. A vertical distance of not less than four (4)
feet shall be provided between the top of the appliance and filters or any other combustible material.
Lighting the Pilot:
The manifold units are equipped with a standing pilots and each should be lit immediately
after the gas is supplied to the appliance.
1. Before attempting to light pilots, turn off the main gas valve to the appliance and wait five (5) minutes
to clear the gas.
2. Turn off all gas control knobs (E). See figure 1.
3. Turn on main gas valve and light all pilots.
4. The pilot burner must be lit at the end of the tube. Hold an ignition source through the pilot light hole
(D) in the front panel at the pilot tube. When the flame is established remove ignition source.
5. To shut down the appliance, turn off the main gas valve to the appliance.
NOTE:
Smoke appearing on initial use of the appliance is normal. This is a result of the rust preventative
coating burning off. This will occur for at least fifteen (15) minutes during the first use or seasoning process.
Pilot Flame Regulation:
The pilot flame on the appliance has been factory adjusted. When adjustment is
necessary, adjust the pilot flames as small as possible, but high enough to light the burner immediately when
burner valve is turned to the “HIGH” setting. Access to the pilot flame adjustment screw is obtained by
removing the front panel.
Burner Adjustment:
Remove the front panel to gain access. Turn burner valve knob to “HIGH” position.
Slowly decrease mixing ring aperture to give a soft blue flame having luminous tips, then slowly increase
opening to a point where the yellow tips disappear and a hard blue flame is obtained.
