2) After the pilot lights, remove the match or torch and continue to hold the red safety button in for
1 minute (figure 1, page 4). After releasing the button the pilot should stay lit. If pilot does not stay lit,
repeat step 1, pressing the button for approximately 90 seconds.
refer to pages 17-19 for complete iNstructioNs oN the use aNd repair of safety pilot system.
3) The remaining 2 pilots should light with only a 2 or 3 minute bleed time.
4) Turn all 3 burner valves counterclockwise to
on
position. Be sure that each burner has ignited with a clear,
blue flame about 2” long. Fanning or blowing on the burner to get all the tips to light may be necessary.
The burners are designed to fully light when the cast iron top is in position on the unit.
5) With burners lit, use a suitable gas leak detector to check for leaks in the entire gas train.
6) To shut down, turn burner valves clockwise to
off
position.
TrouBlE SHooTING
Poor PErFormaNCE
Most Mongolian barbecue range performance problems can be traced to gas supply pressure or volume
issues. If your unit is not getting hot quickly, it is necessary to determine if your unit has sufficient gas pressure
to operate normally.
The Mongolian barbecue range is supplied with a gas test tap located on the internal gas manifold to check
for proper pressure. It is sealed with a
1
/
8
” NPT plug. A suitable manometer may be attached to this test tap
by a qualified gas service mechanic to verify operating gas pressure. The unit should be restarted following
the initial lighting instructions on page 4 of this manual. With all 3 burners operating, the manometer should
indicate 6” W.C. for natural gas or 10” W.C. for propane gas. If the measured pressure differs from the
above requirements, the problem causing low pressure must be corrected. If pressure is too high, an additional
pressure regulator to the standard pressure regulator may be required (especially with propane gas). If the
pressure is too low contact your installer and/or supply company. undersized gas supply lines are often a
cause of insufficient operating pressure. undersized pipe may not allow adequate gas volume, which will
cause the unit to perform poorly.
PIloT FaIlurE
If one of the safety pilot fails (assuming the unit has worked for a while), a faulty thermocouple could be the
problem. Replacement thermocouples and pilots may be purchased from Town Food or a commercial gas
supply parts company.
