IGNITION
To perform the correct ignition of the burners, follow the steps below:
1 - Soak the lighter (wick) that accompanies the product in alcohol and light it;
2 - Rotate the manipulator corresponding to the burner you want to turn 90 ° counterclockwise;
3 - Insert the igniter (wick) into the hole corresponding to the ignition located on the panel, until you
pass the hole in the burner plate;
4 - Make sure that the burner is lit. If the burner does not light up, repeat the procedure;
5 - Remove the igniter (wick) and do the same with the other burners (the order of ignition does not
interfere with the use of the equipment);
6 - After lighting all the burners, the manipulator corresponding to the PILOT can be turned
counterclockwise by 90 ° so that all the pilot burners are lit and you can now turn off the main burners
and re-ignite them only by turning the corresponding buttons;
OPERATION: The flames of the burners will heat the baffles (plates), which will radiate the heat with
uniformity for the food placed on the grates.
