Operation
existing gas. (Main gas valve is supplied by others.)
3. Turn “ON/OPEN” the main gas valve to the unit.
4.
Light and hold an ignition source (match) at the pilots. When the flame is established, remove the ignition
source. Repeat this step for each burner as each burner has its own individual pilot. The pilot can be
reached through the holes in the front of the unit.
5.
Adjust the pilot valve, make sure the pilot flame at 1/2 inch height.
6.
Turn each burner knob “ON”. If the burners do not ignite promptly, turn the knobs “OFF”. From the opening
in the front panel, use a screwdriver and turn the pilot valve screw counterclockwise which will increase the
flame height and repeat step 4.
If the pilot flame appears larger than necessary, turn it down and reset burner ignition. The pilot flames 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.
Caution: 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.
IGNITING THE BURNER
To ignite the burner, turn knob to the “ON” position. Then back off 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 should 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.
SHUTDOWN BURNER
To turn ‘OFF’ the appliance completely, turn the gas control knob completely clockwise to the ‘O’ position, the
pilot burner will extinguish.
