BURNER:
Your new DCS Professional wok is equipped with a heavy
cast iron burner typical of those used in restaurants. It is
designed with an electric spark ignition to eliminate the
continuous pilot found on a restaurant wok. The burner is
rated at 30,000 BTU/HR.
NOTE:
When used with propane gas, a slight pop or flash
may occur at the burner ports a few seconds after the
burner has been turned off. This usually occurs after the
burner has been on awhile. This is a normal part of opera-
tion for your wok.
ELECTRIC SPARK IGNITER:
If the burner does not ignite, Turn the control knob to
“off ”.
(
See page 16).
BURNER EFFICIENCY
and FLAME CHARACTERISTICS:
The burner flame should be blue in color and stable with
no yellow tips, excessive noise or lifting. It should burn
completely around both rings of the burner. An improper
gas-air mixture may cause either a yellow tipped flame or
burner flutter. Have the flame adjusted by a technician.
Foreign particles in the gas line may cause an orange flame
during initial use. This will disappear with use.
For proper lighting and efficient performance of the burn-
er, it is necessary to keep the igniter and burner ports
clean. If the flame is uneven, flutters, makes excessive
noise or lifts, check to see if the burner
ports are clogged. If the ports are clogged, use a wire, a
straightened paper clip or needle to clear the ports.
Do
not use a wood, or objects that could break easily to clear
ports they could break off and clog ports.
If the condi-
tion persists, contact a service agency for adjustment.
CONTROL KNOB:
The burner has an infinite number of heat settings and
there are no fixed positions on the control knob
between HI and LO
.
To turn burner on, push in on the
control knob and turn it counterclockwise to the LITE-HI
position. A single click will be heard as the spark igniter
lights the pilot. The pilot will burn approximately 30 sec-
onds before the main gas safety valve opens and the burner
lights.
DRIP TRAY:
A drip tray is located under the wok burner. Be sure it is
in place before using the wok. Spills should be washed off
as soon as possible to prevent “baked on soil”. When the
tray is cool, pull it for-ward to remove.
