IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS & SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When using gas cooking equipment, basic safety precautions should always be

followed, including the following:

The hot plate burners, cooking grates and outside surfaces may become HOT after use. Use caution when

touching the unit.

·Never directly touch the burners or cooking grates while the hot plate is on.

·Always turn off the unit when not in use, servicing or adjusting any parts or attachments, and before

cleaning.

·Never leave the hot plate on overnight.

·Do not operate any equipment with a damaged or leaking gas line, ignitor or valves or if the unit is dropped

or damaged in any manner. Call for service.

·The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the manufacturer may cause fire, injury or even

death.

·Do not use outdoors.

·Do not use this equipment for any use other than the use intended by the manufacturer.

·Never use the hot plate as a heating source

·The hot plate does not contain any user-serviceable parts. Dealers or recommended qualified technicians

should carry out repairs. Do not remove any components or service panels on this product.

·Never bypass, alter, modify or attach any unauthorized parts to this equipment. Doing so may create

hazards and will void warranty

·Supplier takes every care to ensure that all products are safe. Steel cutting procedures used to

manufacture these items result in sharp edges. These sharp edges are removed to the best of our ability;

however, we insist the operator take care when in contact with this piece of equipment.

·Always keep hands, hair and clothing away from heating source.

·Allow the hot plate to cool down after use and before dismantling for cleaning; the unit will be too hot to

Operating Instructions

Operating the Hot Plate - Pilot Lighting Instructions

Before operating hot plate, it should be checked to see that it is sitting level. Adjust the feet to level the hot

plate. 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 “CLOSED/OFF” for five (5) minutes prior to lighting pilots to clear

any existing gas. (Main gas valve is supplied by others.)

3. Turn “ON/OPEN” the main gas valve to the unit.

4. Light and hold an ignition source (match) at the pilots. When the flame 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, Adjust the pilot valve, make sure the pilot flame at 1/2 inch height.

6, 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 flame height and repeat step 4.

The pilot flame 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 flame height to your desired level.

Igniting the Burner

To ignite the burner, turn knob to the “ON” position. Then back off to the desired flame level. The range of

adjustment is virtually infinite between “ON” and “OFF”.

The space between the legs at the bottom admits combustion air. DO NOT BLOCK THIS SPACE.

All burners are lit from constantly burning pilots. Turning the valve to the desired flame height is all that is

required to put the unit in service.

Do not permit fans to blow directly at the unit. Wherever possible, avoid open windows next to the unit’s sides

or back. Avoid wall type fans which create air cross-currents within a room.

It is also necessary that sufficient air should be allowed to enter the room to compensate for the amount of air

removed by any ventilating system. Otherwise, a subnormal atmospheric pressure will occur, affecting

operation and causing undesirable working conditions.

A properly designed and installed hood will act as the heart of the ventilating system for the room or area in

which the unit is installed, and will leave the unit independent of changing draft conditions.

NOTE: It may be necessary to adjust the balance of gas, volume and air supply to each burner. This

must be done by an authorized service technician.

Shutdown burner

To turn 'OFF' the appliance completely, turn the gas control knob completely clockwise to the 'O' position, the

pilot burner will extinguish.

·DO NOT use any abrasive or flammable cleaning fluids.

·DO NOT hose down, immerse or pressure wash any part of the hot plate, excluding the catch tray.

·NEVER use a scrubber pad, steel wool or abrasive material, or cleaners containing chlorine, iodine and

ammonia or bromine chemicals as these will deteriorate the stainless steel and shorten the life of the unit.

IF CLEANING THE BURNER OF THE HOT PLATE, THE MAIN GAS VALVE MUST BE SWITCHED

TO THE CLOSED POSITION. AFTER CLEANING, THE GAS LINE CAN BE SWITCHED BACK TO

THE OPEN POSITION. PLEASE FOLLOW THE LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL TO

RELIGHT

THE HOT PLATE’S PILOT LIGHTS.
