Operating Instructions
Operating the Stock Pot - Pilot Lighting Instructions
BEFORE OPERATING THE STOCK POT, IT SHOULD BE CHECKED TO SEE THAT IT IS SITTING
LEVEL. IF THE STOCK POT IS NOT LEVEL, PERSONAL INJURY CAN OCCUR.
Adjust the feet to level the Stock Pot. Be sure the catch tray has been properly placed.
The pilot light on the appliance has been set at the factory. Each burner has a pilot light.
1. Make sure all knobs are in the “ OFF ” position.
2. The main gas valve should be “CLOSED/OFF” for five (5) minutes prior to lighting pilots to clear
any existing gas.
3. Turn the main gas valve that supplies the gas to the stock pot to “ON/OPEN”.
NOTE: Each burner is equipped with its own pilot. Once the main gas valve is open, gas will flow
to both pilots. It will be necessary, to lite both pilots even if only one burner will be used during
cooking.
4. Light and hold an ignition source (match) at the pilot. When the flame is established, remove the
ignition source. Repeat this step for each burner as each burner has its own individual pilot.
5. Turn each burner knob to “ON”. If the burners do not ignite promptly, turn the knobs to the “OFF” position.
From the opening in the front panel, use a screwdriver and turn the pilot valve screw counterclockwise
which will increase the flame height, and then repeat step 4.
If the pilot flame appears larger than necessary, turn it down and reset burner ignition. The pilot flame
should be as small as possible, but large enough to guarantee reliable ignition of the burners when the
knobs are turned to “ON”. The holes located in the front panel are pilot valve adjustments. Use a
screwdriver to turn the valve to adjust the flame height to your desired level.
Igniting the Burner
T
o ignite the burner, turn knob to the “ON” position. Then back set to the desired flame level. The range of
adjustment is virtually infinite between “ON” and “OFF”.
The space between the legs at the bottom admits combustion air. DO NOT BLOCK THIS SPACE.
All burners are lit from constantly burning pilots. Turning the valve to the desired flame height is all that is required
to put the unit in service.
Do not permit fans to blow directly at the unit. Wherever possible, avoid open windows next to the unit’s sides or
back. Avoid wall type fans which create air cross-currents within a room.
It is also necessary that sufficient air be allowed to enter the room to compensate for the amount of air removed
by any ventilating system. Otherwise, a subnormal atmospheric pressure will occur, affecting operation and
causing undesirable working conditions.
A properly designed and installed hood will act as the heart of the ventilating system for the room or area in which
the unit is installed, and will leave the unit independent of changing draft conditions.
NOTE: It may be necessary to adjust the balance of gas, volume and air supply to each burner. This must be done
by an authorized service technician.
TO AVOID SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY AND PROPERTY DAMAGE:
•
NEVER
move the stock pot when stock pot is turned on or connected to main gas supply line.
•
ALWAYS
remove cooking pot from top of the stock pot before moving.
1.
If it is necessary to move the stock pot, make sure all knobs are in the “OFF” position.
2.
Remove cooking pot from the stock pot.
3. Close the main gas valve and disconnect stock pot from the main gas valve.
