Lighting the Pilot Burners The burners of this Gas Hob are fitted with individual standing pilots, which allows the main burners to be turned ON or OFF without the need to manually re-light the burner each time that it is turned OFF, as the burner will automatically lit itself by the pilot burner. Flame Failure Protection is incorporated for each burner by way of a thermo-electric system which will shut off the gas supply to that burner in the event that the pilot burner flame goes out, so that un-burnt gas is not expelled to the surroundings.

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 front of the burner. Loosen the lock screw and adjust the air shutter to just eliminate the yellow tips of the burner flame.
Cleaning Instructions CAUTION! Always turn the unit OFF, and follow the lock-out/tag-out procedure before performing cleaning and maintenance operation. Allow the unit to cool down first, before starting any cleaning or maintenance operation. General Clean the Gas Hob regularly. A clean Gas Hob looks better, will last longer and will perform better.

Scrape off the caramelized or carbonized food debris from the trivets and burners using soft bristled wire brush or copper brush. Ensure that food debris that was scraped off from the burner shall not go inside the burner port holes.
