LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
GGT and GGM Griddles are furnished with either a pilot safety valve or a standing pilot (not
available in the European Community). Please follow the instructions for your unit.
Pilot Safety Valve Lighting Instructions
1. Turn on main gas supply to unit, on-off valve located behind the unit (not supplied with unit).
2. Turn the burner control knobs to "OFF" position. Open the front panel and wait at least 5 minutes to
allow any gas which may have accumulated in the firebox compartment to escape.
3. Depress red button on the pilot safety valve and light through observation hole in firebox. Keep red
button on pilot safety depressed for at least 1 minute after pilot has lit. If pilot does not light, repeat this
step.
4. To adjust the pilot flame, rotate knob next to the red button. Turning the knob clockwise increases the
pilot flame. A properly sized pilot should be 1/2” to 3/4” long (12/19 mm).
Standing Pilot Lighting Instructions ( Not Available in the European Community )
The pilot lights on the griddles have been set at the factory. A screwdriver maybe required for the first light-
ing to adjust the flame for your elevation.
1. Turn off the manual shut off valve and wait 5 minutes to clear the gas.
2. Turn all knobs to the “OFF” position.
3. Remove the grease drawer and front panel for easy access.
4. Turn the manual shut off valve on.
5. Hold an ignition source (match) at the pilot tube. When the flame is established, remove the ignition
source.
6. Turn the burner knobs to “HI”. If the burner does not ignite, promptly open the pilot valve more. If the
pilot flame appears larger than necessary, turn it down and reset burner ignition. 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 “HI”.
7. Replace the front panel and grease drawer.
Lighting main burner
Since the burner is lit from constantly burning pilot, turn knobs to “HI” to put the unit in operation; then,
adjust to any desired position between “LO” and “HI”.
Main burner air supply:
1. For efficient burner operation, a proper balance of gas volume and primary air supply must be main-
tained which will result in complete combustion. Insufficient air supply results in a yellow streaming
flame. Primary air supply is controlled by an air shutter on the front of the burner.
2. Loosen the screws on the front of the burner and adjust the air shutter to just eliminate the yellow tips
of the burner flame. Lock the air shutter in place by tightening the screws.
European Community
If adjustment becomes necessary in the field, it should be done by a factory authorized and trained techni-
cian who should seal the screw after the adjustment to safeguard against unauthorized tampering by the
end user.
All burners are lit from constantly burning pilots. Turning the thermostat to the desired temperature 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 units’
