Operating the Hot Plate/Cooktop- Pilot Lighting Instructions
Before operating the
hot plate/cooktop
, it should be checked to see that it is sitting level. Adjust the feet to level the
hot
plate/cooktop
. Be sure the catch tray has been properly placed.
The pilot light on the appliance have 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.
(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 on the front of the unit.
5. 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.
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.
Shutdown:
Turn the unit off by rotating the gas control knob clockwise to the
“OFF”
position.
The pilot light will remain lit.
To extinguish the pilot light completely, verify the gas control knob is
“OFF”
and turn
OFF/Close
the main gas line connec-
tion to the unit.
To reignite the pilot light, repeat the above steps.
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 a 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 or air conditioning vents 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 undesir-
able 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.
