SAFE OPERATING PROCEDURES

OPERATING THE TOP BURNERS

MODELS WITHOUT SEALED BURNERS

The top burners of some models are equipped with Tri-Set top burner valves. These valves provide flame adjustment for any size flame which is desired as well as "click" positions for "LO", "MED", and "HI" settings. Depress the knob and turn the knob counterclockwise as far as it will go. When the burner lights, turn the knob back to the desired flame height.

The "HI" position provides a flame which will bring water to a full boil quickly. This is the "full on" position of the valve.

If the burner flame is turned down, an audible "click" can be heard as the valve reaches the "MEDIUM" position. This flame is sufficient to keep water boiling in a covered pan.

When the flame is turned down lower, a second "click" can be heard. This is a very low or "Keep Warm" flame setting which is the "LO" position on the valve. The low flame provides a warming heat to keep food which is already cooked ready to serve.

The Tri-Set valves are equipped with metered, fixed orifices, and the low setting cannot be adjusted. As there are air shutters, the burner flames can be adjusted in accordance with the Adjustment and Calibration Instruc- tions.

The HI-LOW valves on other models are similar but without the "click" stops.

TOP BURNERS

The top burners consists of a burner and integral cap, a flash tube and support, a gas delivery tube including venturi and an adjustment air shutter. These burners are designed for trouble free operation with a minimum of parts.

MODELS WITH SEALED BURNERS

The top burners of these models are equipped with Tri-Set top burner valves. These valves provide flame adjustment for any size flame which is desired as well as "click" positions for "LO", "MED", and "HI" settings.

Whenever a top burner gas valve knob is depressed and turned fully counterclockwise, the electrode built into the burner cap will start sparking and continue as long as the knob is held in this position. After the burner lights, move the knob to the "HI" position of the valve. At this time the sparking will cease. There are no standing pilots that have to be lighted or adjusted.

The "HI" position provides a flame which will bring water to a full boil quickly. This is the "full on" position of the valve.

If the burner flame is turned down, an audible "click" can be heard as the valve reaches the "MEDIUM" position. This flame is sufficient to keep water boiling in a covered pan.

When the flame is turned down lower, a second "click" can be heard. This is a very low or "Keep Warm" flame setting which is the "LO" position on the valve. The low flame provides a warming heat to keep food which is already cooked ready to serve.

The low burner flame may be adjusted by turning adjust- ment screw in center of valve stem. Normally, the low flame should be adjusted to the minimum steady blue flame. Check the adjustment by turning from high to low several times to see that the burner does not go out. NOTE: When adjusting the low burner flame, the valve stem should be held in the "LOW" position.
