PILOT FLAME ADJUSTMENT
The pilots are adjusted at the factory. If later the pilots are over-adjusted to the point where the flame is
leaving its port, or “blowing off,” the result is an unstable condition in which the pilot may extinguish. If
necessary, adjust each burner’s pilot using the following procedure:
1. Open the door on the lower front of the griddle, remove the thermostat knobs, and remove the control
panel by removing the screws holding it in place.
2. If necessary, light the pilot (the procedure is described on page 20).
3. Locate the pilot adjustment valve (see Figure 13 below). Turn the pilot adjustment screw to the right to
increase the size of the pilot flame, or to the left to decrease the size of the pilot flame. The flame should
be about 1/2" high and cover the thermocouple tip.
4. Repeat Step 3 for each pilot (24" models have one pilot, 36" & 48" models have two pilots, and 60"
models have three pilots).
5. Replace the control panel and knobs.

BURNER FLAME ADJUSTMENT
The burners are adjusted at the factory. If necessary to adjust the burner flames, do the following for each
burner:
1. Turn the burner’s control knob to the full ON position.
2. If the griddle was cold, wait 5 minutes before adjusting the burner flame.
3. Loosen the set screw that holds the sheet-metal air shutter in place.
4. If the burner flame is blowing or lifting off the burner ports, close the air shutter until a stable flame is
obtained. If instead the flame is yellow-tipping, open the air shutter until a stable flame is obtained.
5. Tighten the set screw that holds the sheet-metal air shutter in place.
6. Repeat Steps 1 through 5 for each burner (24" models have two burners, 36" models have three
burners, 48" models have four burners, and 60" models have five burners).
