3.3.1 Start-up Procedure
If this is the first time the unit is being used after installation, refer also to Section
3.3.3, Boiling Out the Cookpot.
1. Ensure the drain valve is closed.
2. Manually fill the cookpot with water until the level is at the bottom of the overflow.
3. Ensure the thermostat is set to approximately 190°F (88°C).
4. Turn the gas valve knob to the ON position (see illustration below.)
5. Toggle the boil/simmer switch to simmer.
6. Press the power switch to the ON position.
The burners should light. If not, the ignition module will keep
attempting light for a total of eight (8) tries. If the burners fail
to light, and the trouble light illuminates press the power
switch to the OFF position, wait 60 seconds, then repeat this
step.
If the trouble light illuminates after four (4) minutes, ensure
that the gas valve is ON. Cycle power and check for ignition.
7. After the burners have been lit continuously for at least 90 seconds, observe the burners through
the burner viewports. They should display a bright orange-red glow. If a blue flame is observed,
or if there are dark spots on a burner face, the air gas mixture requires adjustment, as explained
below.
On the side of the blower housing opposite the motor is a plate with one or two locking nuts.
Loosen the nut(s) enough to allow the plate to be moved, then adjust the position of the plate to
open or close the air intake opening until a bright orange-red glow. Carefully hold the plate in
position and tighten the lock nut(s).
3.3.2 Normal Operation
1. Turn the controller on by pressing the power switch to the ON position.
