INSTALLATION (CONTINUED)
Manual Shut-Off Valve
A manual shut-off valve should be installed in an accessible location
within 6 ft. (1.8m) of the equipment.
Test the Equipment
Check for Gas Leaks
NOTICE: Matches, candle flame, or any other potential source of
ignition shall not be used for this purpose.
1. Rotate the gas control knobs for the main burner(s) to the OFF
position.
2. Remove the gas control knob(s).
3. Use a 5/16" nut driver to remove the 4 screws securing the front
panel. Remove the front panel to access the pilot burner control
valve(s).
4. Locate the pilot burner control valves for each pilot light and turn
them OFF by turning the small forward-facing screw clockwise until
tight.
5. Connect the equipment to the gas supply.
6. Apply soapy water to each connection.
7. Turn ON the main supply valve.
8. Look for bubbles at the connections.
9. Tighten the connections as needed.
Light the Pilot Burners
1. Wait 5 minutes to allow any gas to dissipate.
2. To light the pilot burners, hold a flame source over the desired pilot
burner while slowly turning its control valve screw
counterclockwise, adjusting the flame to the desired intensity.
Repeat for all pilot burners.
Test the Main Burners
After lighting all of the pilot burners, ensure that each main burner
functions correctly.
After the lighting the pilots, the main burners can be ignited by pushing
and turning the control knob from the "off" position to the desired
setting. Visually check that the pilot light ignites the main burner.
The main burners can be extinguished by turning the control knob back
to the "off" position. The pilot lights can be extinguished by shutting off
the gas supply at the shut-off valve installed on the gas line.

OPERATION

WARNING
Fire, Death Hazard
If you smell gas follow the instructions provided by the gas
supplier.
Do not touch any electrical switches; do not try to light the
burner; do not use a telephone in close proximity.
CAUTION
Burn Hazard
Hot surfaces and food can burn skin. Allow the hot surfaces to
cool before handling. Do not drop or spill water onto the
cooking surface as it can spray or splatter.
1. Rotate the gas control knob(s) to ignite the burner(s) and adjust to
the desired heat level.
2. Cook the food.
3. Empty the drip tray periodically to ensure it does not overflow.
4. Do not allow oil or grease to build up on the grates. Wipe down the
grates to prevent carbon build-up, which could affect the
performance of the hot plate.
Adjusting the Pilot Light
From time to time the pilot light intensity may need to be adjusted to
properly ignite the main burners.
1. With the pilot light ignited, use a flathead screwdriver to turn the
exposed slotted brass screw. Turn the screw clockwise to decrease
intensity and counter-clockwise to increase intensity.
2. Determine the proper intensity to ignite the burner flames. Burners
should ignite from pilot in under 4 seconds.
