Operating Instructions
Operating the Griddle - Pilot Lighting Instructions for MANUALLY CONTROLLED Griddles
Before operating griddle, it should be checked to see that it is sitting level. Adjust the feet to level the griddle. Be
sure the catch tray has been properly placed.
The pilot lights on the appliance have been set at the factory. Each burner has a pilot light.
1. Make sure all knobs are in the “OFF” position.
2. The main gas valve should be “OFF/Closed” for ve (5) minutes before lighting pilots to clear
any existing gas. (Main gas valve is supplied by your local gas company.)
3. Turn “ON/OPEN” the main gas valve to the unit.
4. Light and hold an ignition source (match) at the pilots. When the ame is established, remove the
ignition source. Repeat this step for each burner as each burner has its own individual pilot.
The pilot can be reached through the holes in the front of the unit.
5. Turn each burner knob “ON”. If the burners do not ignite promptly, turn the knobs “OFF”. From the
opening in the front panel, use a screwdriver and turn the pilot valve screw counterclockwise which will
increase the ame heights; then repeat step 4.
If the pilot ame appears larger than necessary, turn it down and reset the burner ignition. The pilot ame
should be as small as possible but large enough to guarantee reliable ignition of the burners when the
knobs are turned to “ON”. The holes located in the front panel are pilot valve adjustments. Use a
screwdriver to turn the valve to adjust the ame height to your desired level.
All burners are lit from constantly burning pilots. Turning the valve to the desired ame
height is all that is required to put the unit in service.
Shutdown:
Turn the unit off by rotating the gas control knob clockwise to the “OFF” position.
The pilot light will remain lit.
To extinguish the pilot light completely, verify the gas control knob is “OFF” and turn OFF/Close the main gas
line connection to the unit.
To reignite pilot lights, repeat the above steps.
