OPERATION

WARNING:

Fire Hazard

IF YOU SMELL GAS:

¤DO NOT try to light any appliance.

¤DO NOT touch any electrical switch

¤DO NOT use any telephone in your building.

In the event a gas odor is detected, shut down the unit at the main gas shutoff valve and contact your local gas supplier from a neighboring location.

Follow the instructions received from the gas supplier immediately and exactly.

GENERAL OPERATIONAL NOTES

Carefully read the description of the charbroiler operation on the specification sheet.

Do NOT use this appliance if it has been submerged in water. Call a qualified technician to examine the appliance and to service or replace any component which has been submerged. Burners which have been allowed to become wet must be thoroughly dried before use.

For initial startup, and any time the gas supply has been shut-off, it may take several minutes to light the pilot while air in the piping and manifolds is purged.

The burner control knobs must be turned by hand only. Never use tools to turn the control knob. If the knob will not turn by hand, DO NOT attempt to force or repair it. Contact your Authorized Wells Service Agency for repairs. Forced or improperly repaired valves pose the risk of fire and/or explosion.

Make sure burners, pilot burner and drip tray are properly installed before attempting to operate.

LIGHTING THE PILOT FLAME

Before lighting the pilot light, smell all around the appliance area for gas. Be sure to smell near floor level because some gas is heavier than air and will settle to the floor.

For initial startup, and any time the gas supply has been shut-off, it may take several minutes to light the pilot while air in the piping and manifolds is purged.

The pilot light must be lighted by hand:

Remove grates. Turn all control knobs to the full OFF position. Wait 5 minutes.

The pilot is located adjacent to the burner, and is accessible from the top of the unit.

Be sure the gas shut-off valve is ON and the appliance has had time for the air to be purged from the lines. Attempt to light the pilot every 15 seconds after the gas valve is turned on.

Light the pilot with a long match or fireplace lighter.

DO NOT use a cigarette lighter.

Reinstall grates

SHUT DOWN INSTRUCTIONS

Turn all burner knobs to OFF.

Turn all pilots OFF.

Turn the main gas supply OFF.
