LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
HTG 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.
Standing Pilot Lighting Instructions: ( Not Available in the European Community )
The pilot lights on the broilers have been set at the factory. A screwdriver may be required for the first lighting
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. The valve can be accessed through an opening in the front panel or remove the cooking grates and
light the pilot from above.
4. Turn the manual shut off valve on.
5. Hold an ignition source (match) to both openings on the pilot tube. When the flames are 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”.
RELIGHTING PILOT
If the pilot light should go out for any reason:
l
Promptly shut off all gas at the manual shut off valve.
l
Turn off all knobs and pilot valves; wait 5 minutes to clear gas.
l
Relight following steps 4 through 6 under Standing Pilot Lighting Instructions.
HTG 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. Wait at least 5 minutes to allow any gas which may
have accumulated in the firebox compartment to escape.
3. Through the hole in the front panel, press 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).
HTG LIGHTING THE MAIN BURNER:
l
Turn the thermostat to the desired temperature.
Main burner air supply:
1. For efficient burner operation, a proper balance of gas volume and primary air supply must be
maintained 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.

If adjustment becomes necessary in the field, it should be done by a factory authorized and trained
technician who should seal the screw after the adjustment to safeguard against unauthorized tampering by
the end user.
