Operation

Lighting 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 gas supply to that burner should the pilot for that burner go out, so that un-burnt gas is not expelled.  

This is an important safety feature which is slowly becoming law throughout the world
