GAS HOT PLATE
Exhaust canopy:
Cooking burners inherently create a good deal of heat and smoke
and should be installed under an efficient exhaust hood with flame proof filters. A
vertical distance of not less than 4 ft (1.2m) shall be provided between the top of the
appliance and filters or any other combustible material.
Lighting the pilot:
The units are equipped with standing pilots, and should be lit
immediately after the gas is supplied to the appliance.
1. Turn off the main valve to the unit and wait 5 minutes to clear gas.
2. Turn off all knobs and pilot valves.
3. Turn on main valve and light all pilots.
4. The pilot burner must be lit at the end of the tube. Hold an ignition source through
the opening in the front panel at the pilot tube. When the flame is established
remove ignition source.
Note:
Smoke appearing on initial use of the appliance is normal. This is as a result of
the rust
preventing coating burning off. Allow the unit to ‘burn in’ for at least 30 minutes
before the first use.
IMPORTANT:
If you smell gas close the shut off valve, open windows, ventilate and
evacuate the area immediately. Do not touch electrical switches or plugs. Extinguish
any open flames. Immediately call your gas supplier.
WARNING
FIRE, INJURY OR DEATH HAZARD
Have this equipment installed and adjusted by a qualified technician in
accordance with all federal, state and local codes. Failure to install, adjust or
maintain this equipment properly can result in injury or death.
PILOT FLAME REGULATION
: The pilot flame on the appliance has been factory
adjusted. When adjustment is necessary, adjust the pilot flames as small as possible,
but high enough to light the burner immediately when burner valve is turned to the
‘High’ setting. Access to the pilot flame adjustment screw is obtained by removing the
front panel.
BURNER ADJUSTMENT:
Remove the front panel to gain access. Turn burner valve
knob to ‘High’ position. Slowly decrease mixing ring aperture to give a soft blue flame
having luminous tips, then slowly increase opening to a point where the yellow Tips
disappear and a stable blue flame is obtained.
BURNER OPERATION
:
1. To ignite burners, depress and turn burner valve knob to the High position.
2. Adjust the valve set-point to obtain the desired flame height.
Using the Gas Hot Plate:
1. Make sure unit is sitting securely on the work surface and the work area is free
from hazards.
2. Make sure the cooking surface of the unit is free from anything that is not suited
for high heat.
3. Turn temperature dial to the desired heat setting.
