OPERATION: ALL MODELS

Lighting Standing Pilots - All Models

After the appliance has been installed by a licensed gas
trades-person all connections, pilot lights and controls have
been inspected for proper operation. All gas appliances
that use standing pilot systems are generally assumed to
be operating with the pilot on continuously. The appliances
should not be restarted except in the event of a gas service
interruption to the facility.
If a pilot fl ame does go out, here are the basic steps to check
before you re-light the pilot:
1. Check to see that all gas lines are in place and secured
and that there is no accumulation of gas inside the unit.
2. Check to make sure that the main shut off valve is in the
off position.
3. Make sure the individual burner valves are in the off
position.
4. Turn on or open the main shut off valve to the appliance.
5. Follow pilot lighting procedures applicable to your
model. The pilot should ignite within a few attempts. You
will be able to see the pilot fl ame on a hotplate under the
protective pilot shield cast into the burner top grate. Pilot
fl ames on griddles and broilers can be viewed through
observation holes in the stainless steel front panel.
Broilers:
a. Light the pilots with a long match or taper through
the opening(s) in the valve panel.
b. Turn the burner valve on to the full position. A sharp
fl ame should be about 1/4" high.
c. To shut down turn all valves to the off position. If the
appliance is to be shut down for an extended period
of time, close the in-line gas valve.
Hotplates:
a. Pilots are easily accessible. Make sure the individual
burner valve is in the off position, then use an open
fl ame device,match,or BBQ lighter to ignite.

Valve-control griddles:
a. Make sure the individual valve control is in the off
position.
b. Use the piezo spark (or electric spark if your model
has this option) button(s) to ignite the pilot.
c. Once the pilot is lit you may now turn your valve
control to the high or low fl ame setting.
d. To shut down the main burner turn the valve to the
off position.
Thermostat-control griddle
a. Make sure the individual valve is in the off position.
b. Use the piezo (or electric spark if your model has this
option) button(s) to ignite the pilot.
c. Once the pilot is lit you may then set the thermostat
to the desired cooking tempertaure.
d. To shut down turn individual on-off valve to off
position.
6. If you do not have a pilot fl ame established fairly quickly
and begin to smell gas, shut off the main valve and wait
fi ve minutes to let the gas build-up escape.
7. Only once the pilot fl ame has been established should
you turn on the burner control. When the burner control
is on it allows gas fl ow to the burner. If there is no pilot
fl ame it will allow gas to build up and cause possible
delayed ignition, which could result in an explosion.

Shutdown Procedure

To shutdown, turn all main burner valves to OFF position. If
the appliance is to be shut down for an extended period of
time, close the pilot valves, (gum valves), by turning their set
screws clockwise. Finally, turn the manual valve on the main
gas supply to the OFF position.
