INSTALLATION THE UNIT, WHEN INSTALLED, MUST BE ELECTRICALLY GROUNDED IN ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL CODES, OR IN ABSENCE OF LOCAL CODES, WITH THE NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE, ANSI/NFPA 70, OR THE CANADIAN ELECTRICAL CODE, CSA C22.2, AS APPLICABLE. PROVISIONS MUST BE MADE FOR ADEQUATE AIR SUPPLY TO THE UNIT. Ventilating Hood The range(s) must be installed under a properly designed hood.
INSTALLATION DO NOT LIFT RANGE BY THE FRONT RAIL. IF RANGE IS EQUIPPED WITH A FRYTOP SECTION, REMOVE WOOD SHIPPING STRIPS LOCATED BELOW THE GREASE TROUGH. ASSEMBLY Uncrate range as near to final location as possible. Remove all shipping wire from burners and all packing material and accessories from oven interior.
INSTALLATION Counter Ranges: Set unit in desired position and secure to counter using holes provided at rear and bracket at front. All Ranges: Install Open Top sections by aligning cut-outs of open top grate ( A ) with pattern of the burner head ( B ). Grate should have even spacing around the body of the burner head ( C ).
INSTALLATION FRY TOP RANGES: Leveling bolts are at the rear of the range under the Fry Top plate. Adjust leveling bolts so that the plate is pitched to the front to provide for grease runoff and proper ventilation. The heat from the plate should rise to the rear of the unit to prevent damage to valves and other components.
INSTALLATION PIPE JOINT COMPOUND OR THREAD SEALANT THAT IS USED SHOULD BE RESISTANT TO ACTION OF LIQUIFIED PETROLEUM GASES. Install the gas pressure regulator with gas flowing as indicated by the arrow on the regulator. Use pipe compound or thread sealant and carefully thread regulator to pipe so that there is no cross threading, etc., which could cause leakage.
INSTALLATON PILOT ADJUSTMENT - TOP BURNERS (STANDARD MANUAL VALVE) OPEN TOP: Pilots are factory set. No adjustment is necessary. FRY TOP AND HOT TOP: Each pilot is controlled by a pilot valve. Turn adjusting screw until pilot flame is 1/2‖ high. PILOT VALVE PILOT ADJUSTMENT - TOP BURNERS (FLAME FAILURE VALVE) OPEN TOP:...
INSTALLATION BURNER ADJUSTMENT: The efficiency of the range depends on a delicate balance between the supply of air and the volume of gas so that complete combustion is achieved. Whenever this balance is disturbed, poor operating characteristics occur. The air supply is controlled by an air shutter on the front of the burner. The air shutter openings should be increased until the flame on the burner begins to ―lift‖.
OPERATION OPERATIONG INFORMATION FOR THE RANGE HAS BEEN PREPARED FOR USE BY QUALIFIED AND/OR PROFESSIONAL OPERATING PERSONNEL CAUTION DO NOT OBSTRUCT THE FLOW OF COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION AIR. KEEP THE APPLIANCE AREA FREE AND CLEAR FROM COMBUSTIBLES IN THE EVENT A GAS ODOR IS DETECTED, SHUT DOWN UNITS AT MAIN SHUT OFF VALVE AND CONTACT THE LOCAL GAS COMPANY OR GAS SUPPLIER FOR SERVICE.
OPERATION GAS CONTROLS (THERMOSTAT CONTROLLED) TOP BURNERS - Fry Top Check that pilot(s) are burning. Then push thermostat dial inward and rotate dial counter-clockwise to maximum thermostat setting, burner(s) will ignite automatically. After ignition turn thermostat dial to desired setting. To shut down, rotate thermostat dial clockwise to ― OFF ― position. OVEN A.) T60 &...
OPERATION OVEN B.) V26 & VT26 SERIES (LIGHTING) THERMOSTAT PILOT SAFETY MAIN BURNER VALVE PIEZO IGNITER Turn Main Burner Valve to ― OFF ― position. Remove burner compartment cover and open pilot access door. Locate Piezo Igniter , mounted under the Main Burner Valve on the oven Control Panel. Press and hold in the red button of the Pilot Safety Valve while repeatedly depressing the button on the Piezo Igniter until the pilot burner ignites.
OPERATION C.) SHUT DOWN Rotate thermostat dial clockwise to ― OFF ― position. (T60 &VT60) Rotate Main Burner Valve clockwise to the ― OFF ― position. (T26 & VT26) OVEN OPERATION 1. Turn thermostat dial to desired temperature. 2. Limit pre-heat time to 10-20 minutes. 3.
MAINTENANCE CARE AND CLEANING: The complete range should be given a periodic general cleaning. Lint and grease suspended in the air tend to collect in air passages. Therefore, all flueways, air passages and openings, burner ports, primary air openings, etc., should be periodically cleaned to prevent clogging. EXTERIOR: STAINLESS STEEL SURFACE: To remove normal dirt, grease, or product residue from...
MAINTENANCE WEEKLY: Brush burner head with a stiff wire brush and clean clogged ports with a stiff wire or ice pick. Excessive grease build up may be removed from burners by soaking in a solution of washing soda or any good grease solvent. Dry burners by inverting on oven rack in a low temperature oven. FRY TOP SECTION: DAILY: Use flat edge of spatula or metal scraper to keep surface free of encrusted material...
SERVICE WHEN SERVICE IS NEEDED, CONTACT A LOCAL SERVICE COMPANY, DEALER, OR FACTORY TO PERFORM MECHANICAL MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS. THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE INTENDED FOR USE BY COMPETENT SERVICE PERSONNEL. CAUTION DISCONNECT POWER BEFORE DOING ANY SERVICE WORK. EACH SECTION HAS SEPARATE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY CONNECTION. TURN OFF GAS SUPPLY WHEN SERVICING GAS CONTROL SYSTEM.
SERVICE OVEN PILOT BURNER: Pilot Service In The Event Of Pilot Failure: 1. If pilot flame burns yellow, clean pilot orifice and pilot burner to insure a steady blue flame. The orifice can be cleaned by washing in a solvent and/or blowing out with air. 2.
SERVICE FRYTOP THERMOSTAT: (T26 & VT26) & (T60 & VT60) The model BJ Robertshaw is a combination thermostat and gas valve. The gas is turned on and the temperature setting made by a single rotation of the dial. This valve automatically locks itself in the ―...
SERVICE ADJUSTMENT OF BYPASS (MINIMUM BURNER) FLAME: (T26 & VT26) & (T60 & VT60) This is the flame which must be maintained on the burners when the Fry Top has reached the temperature set on the dial. Enough gas must be bypassed by the control to keep the entire burner lit.
SERVICE FRY TOP THERMOSTAT CALIBRATION CHECK: The Fry Top temperature should be checked or recalibrated with the Fry Top hot. NOTE: See ―Adjustment of Bypass (Minimum Burner) Flame‖ before recalibrating this thermostat. HOT CHECK METHOD: 1. Place reliable thermometer in center of the top of the Fry Top over the thermal bulb. 2.

SERVICE ADJUSTMENT OF BYPASS (MINIMUM BURNER) FLAME: (T60 & VT60) This is the flame that must be maintained on the burners when the oven has come up to the temperature set on the dial. Enough gas must be bypassed by the control to keep the entire burner lit.
SERVICE OVEN THERMOSTAT: (T26 & VT26) Field recalibration is seldom necessary, and should not be resorted to unless experience with cooking results definitely proves that the control is not maintaining the temperature to which the dial is set. To check oven temperatures when recalibrating, use a calibrated Test Instrument or a reliable oven thermometer.
SERVICE THERMOSTAT CALIBRATION CHECK: 1. Place the thermocouple of test instrument or thermometer in the middle of the oven. 2. Light the main burner. 3. Turn the dial so that the 400 degree mark lines up with the indicator mark on the dial stop. 4.
SERVICE OPERATIONAL DIFFICULTIES & PROBABLE CAUSES: Oven Pilot Goes Out: 1. Gas shut off. 2. Poor exhaust conditions in flue snuffs out flame. 3. Too much draft pulls flame away from thermocouple. 4. Pilot flame too low. 5. Thermocouple defective. 6.
