The JF143 is equipped with automatic ignition. When the broiler is turned on, a hot surface ignitor turns on 5 seconds before the flow of gas. Gas then flows to all of the burners. If the burners are not lit within 10 seconds, the control will reset and try again for 10 seconds.
Your Nieco Automatic Broiler is designed to automatically stop gas flow to the broiler in the event of power failure, gas pressure loss or any other related incident. No attempt to operate this appliance should be made in the event of a power failure.
