1. Check to see that the correct gas connection has been
made to the unit, the electric 110/120-volt connection
has been made, and the pilot has been lighted.
(Instructions for lighting pilot are on a plate on control
box.) REF. SECTION 2.
2. Be sure skillet has been or is cleaned before using.
3. Be certain skillet is lowered to the normal horizontal
cooking position (or as much as 10° above) so burners
will light.
4. Set the thermostat to the desired temperature. See
Section A—Test Kitchen Bulletin for thermostat
settings.
5. Preheat to desired setting before grilling, pan frying, or
any other type of cooking except boiling.
NOTE: For best results, allow unit to cycle ON/OFF once.
6. Cover should be up for most types of cooking, except
simmering or boiling. The cover has a lip at the rear that
will direct condensate into the skillet rather than onto the
cabinet base.
7. When food is cooked, it should be immediately removed
from skillet to prevent overcooking.
8. To lower skillet, merely turn tilt skillet handcrank coun-
terclockwise. To raise skillet, turn handcrank clockwise.
NOTE: "LX" models are raised and lowered using switch
on front of control box.
9. For cleaning instructions, see Section 6—Troubleshoot-
ing and Maintenance.
Caution: Be Sure to Read
· Disconnect the power supply to skillet before clean-
ing or servicing. (NOTE: "LX" models should have
the skillet raised to washing position before discon-
necting power supply.)
· Keep this appliance area free and clear of combus-
tibles.
· Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventila-
tion air.
· If skillet pan is difficult to raise, the lift gears may
need to be lubricated. The gears are located on the
right side under the control box. Apply a liberal
amount of grease along the helical thread of the
worm where it engages the worm gear. Use multi-
purpose, NLGI #2 lithium-based, water-resistant
grease.
· Keep this manual for future reference.
· Consult the factory, the factory representative, or a
local service company to perform maintenance and
repairs.
· In the event of a power failure, do not operate appli-
ance.
· Periodically examine the flue outlet located behind
the skillet cover for any obstructions.
· Appliances with casters are always to be restrained
from movement. If removal of the restraint is neces-
sary, always reconnect the restraint when the Appli-
ance is returned to its originally installed position.
