    Operation Guide NOTE: This equipment is only for professional use and that it shall be used by qualified persons. Parts or components that have adjustments which are protected by the manufacturer or his agents shall not be adjusted by the user/ operator. Please use woks with a diameter between 240mm to 280mm.
  • Page 11 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.
  • Page 12 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.
