Operation
Lighting the Pilot Burner
These griddles are fitted with a pilot as a standard option and flame failure protection, which is
incorporated for each main burner, by way of a thermo-electric system. Flame failure protection will shut
off the gas supply to that burner in the event that the pilot for that burner goes out, so that un-burnt gas is
not expelled.
This is an important safety feature which is slowly becoming law throughout the
world
.
1.
Depress the gas control knob and rotate anti-clockwise to the ‘PILOT’ position.
2.
With the gas control knob held in the depressed position, depress the piezo igniter button located on
the front control panel to the right of the gas control knob, to ignite the pilot burner. (Each
depression operation of the piezo igniter button will generate a single spark).
3.
Hold in the gas control knob for approximately 10-15 seconds, then release. The pilot burner should
remain alight. (If not repeat Items 1 to 3 above).
4.
Pilot ignition can be viewed through opening in the plastic surround fitted to the piezo igniter button.
NOTE: If the pilot burner goes out during normal operation wait 5 minutes before re-lighting.
Lighting the Main Burner
1.
Ensure that the pilot burner is alight by checking through the opening in the plastic surround fitted
to the piezo igniter button on the front control panel.
2.
Rotate the gas control knob anti-clockwise to the desired temperature marked on the gas control
knob.
3.
The main burner will now ignite automatically off the pilot burner.
Re-Setting the Overtemp Device (All UK and Optional Non-UK Models).
This griddle is fitted
with an overtemp device which isolates the gas supply to the burners should the gas
control system or thermostat malfunction, thus preventing overheating of the griddle. If the pilot fails to
ignite after several attempts, ensure that the overtemp is checked to ensure that it has not tripped.
1.
To reset the overtemp, remove the gas
control knobs from the front of the
griddle. These are a push fit onto the
spindle of the gas valves.
2.
Slacken the 2 screws securing the front
control panel to the front of the griddle
and carefully remove the control panel,
ensuring that the leads to the piezo
igniter are disconnected from the rear
of the piezo buttons.
3.
Using a small screwdriver, depress the
centre of the overtemp reset button.
4.
Re-connect the piezo igniter leads to
the rear of the piezo igniter buttons.
5.
Refit the front control panel onto the griddle and secure in position with the 2 securing screws.
6.
Refit the gas control knobs to the gas spindles.
7.
Attempt to re-light the pilot burners as shown above. Should the pilot burners still not ignite, call a
qualified service person to investigate the problem.
