This model features a standing pilot that must be manually lit with an outside ignition source (such as a lit taper, etc). The pilot is monitored by a thermocouple and pilot safety valve. If the pilot goes out, the safety valve will shut-off the gas supply to the pilot and main burners. There is one pilot and one safety valve for every two burners except on the 36” and 60” models. The 36” and 60” models have an odd number of main burners, therefore one of the sets of pilots and safety valves in these models will control only one main burner. The pilot burners are aligned with the safety valve bush buttons. The pilot burners are inset 12” from the front panel. See pilot lighting procedure.

Each 12” section of the griddle is independently controlled by a mechanical snap-action thermostatic valve. The thermostats have an operating range of 200 to 550 degrees. If the pilots are lit, turning the thermostats to the desired setting is all that is required to put the unit into service.
