MOISTURE AND PILOTLESS
ELECTRONIC IGNITION
Ovens, griddle, and grill burners have
a “flame sensing” feature that
automatically stops the sparking once
the pilot gas is ignited. Turning the
control dial ON will activate an
electronic module and send pulses
(sparks) to all electrodes (including
the top burner electrodes) at a rate of
approximately 1 1/2 pulses (sparks)
per second. These controls will be
referred to as OGG (oven, griddle, or
grill).
MOISTURE: Moisture can have the
same effect on the flame sensing
ignitor as does the pilot flame. If
sparking does not occur when an
OGG knob is turned ON during the
initial attempt to use it or after several
days of non-use it COULD BE the
result of moisture build-up in the
ceramic sleeve of the flame sensing
electrode. This may happen in areas
with high humidity. This moisture can
be driven out of the ignitor by
lighting of the OGG pilot and
operating the OGG for a few minutes.
Follow the instructions below for
lighting the pilot.
NEVER LEAVE THE CONTROL
KNOBS IN ANY POSITION
OTHER THAN “OFF” IF THE
IGNITORS OR BURNERS AREN’T
WORKING PROPERLY.
FIRST:
a) With the OGG control OFF
position yourself so you can see the
OGG pilot.
b) Next turn any top burner knob to
the “LITE” position while watching
the OGG flame sensing pilot. This
puts the module which supplies the
sparks for ignition in a manual
position which overrides the “flame
sensing” feature at all electrodes.
Then turn the OGG control on. If the
OGG pilot doesn’t ignite within five
seconds immediately turn all controls
off. If the OGG pilot does ignite, the
burner should ignite within 60
seconds. If not, immediately turn the
controls off and call a serviceman.
If the OGG is working, to determine
if moisture was the problem wait a
few minutes and attempt to light the
OGG by turning the OGG control dial
on. If sparking occurs at the electrode
to ignite the pilot and within sixty
seconds ignites the OGG burner then
moisture build-up was the problem. If
the OGG burner doesn’t ignite within
60 seconds turn the control off and
call the serviceman.
Accessories
Wok Ring
– For standard burners,
remove any burner grate and replace
with wok ring. For sealed burners,
position the wok ring so that it seats
into the fingers of burner grate. Wok
ring accommodates woks up to 14” in
diameter. Wok not included.
Griddle Cover
– Remove stainless steel
griddle cover/work surface when using
griddle. Do not replace until griddle cools.
