USING THE GAS CONTROL (Kettles with Pilot Lights)

A.Lighting

1.Turn thermostat to lowest position and turn the power switch OFF.

2.Open control panel access door.

3.Turn dial on combination control to pilot position. NOTE: Any gas service valves exterior to the unit should be open.

4.Remove shield which fits over the burners for access to the pilot, which is located on the right side of the left burner, approximately 6" into the combustion chamber. Depress dial on the combination control while lighting the pilot burner. Hold dial in for 30 - 45 seconds, until the pilot remains lit when the dial is released. A lit taper is recommended for easy access in lighting the pilot burner.

On units recently installed, the pilot line will require "bleeding". Consequently, the pilot may not ignite immediately and it may be necessary to keep the combination control dial depressed until sufficient gas reaches the pilot to keep it burning. After "bleeding" wait 5 minutes before attempting ignition.
