Operating Instructions, Lighting Main Burner

6Turn the burner knobs to "HI". If the burner does not ignite, promptly open the pilot valve more. 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 "HI".

7Replace the front panel and grease drawer.

Lighting Main Burner:

Since the burner is lit from constantly burning pilot, turn knob to “HI” to put the unit in operation; then adjust to any desired position between “LO” and “HI”.

Main Burner Air Supply:

For efficient burner operation, a proper balance of gas volume and primary air supply must be maintained which will result in complete combustion. Insufficient air supply results in a yellow streaming flame. Primary air supply is controlled by an air shutter on the burner.

Loosen the screws on the front of the burner, and adjust the air shutter to eliminate the yellow on the burner flame. Lock the air shutter in place by tightening the screws.

European Community:

If adjustment becomes necessary in the field, it should be done by a factory authorized and trained technician who should seal the screw after the adjustment to safeguard against unauthorized tampering by the end user.

All burners are lit from constantly burning pilots, turning the control valve as desired is all that is required to put the unit in service.

Do not permit fans to blow directly on 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 the 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 atmosphere will occur, adversely 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.

All valves must be checked and lubricated periodically. Consult the authorized service representative in your area.

5. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Season Griddle:

Heat to low temperature (300 - 350 F/150-180C)7and pour on a small amount of cooking oil, about one ounce (30cc) per square foot of surface. Spread the oil over the entire griddle surface with a cloth to create a thin film. Wipe off any excess oil with a cloth. Repeat this procedure 2 to 3 times until the griddle has a slick, mirror-like surface.

Operation:

Turn the burners on about 15-20 minutes before cooking for preheating. Set the knobs to the desired flame height or temperature. Each thermostat will control the burner to bring that area of the plate up to the set temperature. If different temperature settings are to be used, adjoining areas should be set at progressively higher temperatures using the lowest temperatures on the outside burners. A uniform and systematic approach to the loading of the griddle will produce the most consistent product results.
