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 flame 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. Turn the thermostat to the off position. (If applicable)
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 flame on a hotplate under the
protective pilot shield cast into the burner top grate. Pilot
flames 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
flame 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
flame 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 flame setting.
d. To shut down the main burner turn the valve to off
position.
THERMOSTAT-CONTROL GRIDDLES:
a. Turn griddle thermostat control
knob to the " " position and
then push in to engage the flow
of gas through the safety device
to the pilot.
b. While holding the knob in, light
pilot by pressing the red piezo lighter button or the
black igniter button if your model has the electric
ignition option.
c. Continue to hold the knob in for 15 seconds after
ignition, then release. Pilot should remain lit.
d. If the pilot burner fails to light or does not stay lit,
wait 5 minutes and repeat steps a through c.
e. Turn the griddle thermostat knob to desired cooking
temperature.
f. To shut down the main burner turn the control knob
to the " " position.
6. If you do not have a pilot flame established fairly quickly
and begin to smell gas, shut off the main valve and wait
five minutes to let the gas build-up escape.
7. Only once the pilot flame has been established should
you turn on the burner control. When the burner control
is on it allows gas flow to the burner. If there is no pilot
flame 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. (On thermostat-controlled griddles,
turning the thermostat dial to the OFF position is all that's
required. There are no pilot valves.) Finally, turn the manual
valve on the main gas supply to the OFF position.
