OPERATION
GENERAL OPERATIONAL NOTES
Carefully read the description of the griddle operation on the
specification sheet.
Do NOT use this appliance if it has been submerged in water.
Call a qualified technician to examine the appliance and to service
or replace any component which has been submerged. Burners
which have been allowed to become wet must be thoroughly dried
before use.
For initial startup, and any time the gas supply has been shut-off, it
may take several minutes to light the pilot as air in the piping and
manifolds is purged.
The gas control knobs must be turned by hand only. Never use tools
to turn the control knob. If the knob will not turn by hand, do NOT
attempt to force or repair it. Contact your Authorized Wells
Service Agency for repairs. Forced or improperly repaired valves
pose the risk of fire and/or explosion.
Make sure grease drawer is properly installed before attempting to
operate.
LIGHTING THE PILOT LIGHT
Before lighting the pilot light, smell all around the appliance area for
gas. Be sure to smell near floor level because some gas is heavier
than air and will settle to the floor.
For initial startup, and any time the gas supply has been shut-off, it
may take several minutes to light the pilot as air in the piping and
manifolds is purged.
Each burner assembly has a pilot assembly which must be lit before
the associated main burner can be operated. This operation requires
a LONG match or fireplace lighter. Set all temperature control knobs
and gas safety valve control knobs to the OFF position.
To light the pilot flame, turn the knob on the SAFETY VALVE
(adjacent to each thermostat) to the PILOT position. Depress and
hold the safety valve knob and light the pilot.The pilot is located
behind the front baffle, and is visible through the small opening in
the baffle.
After the pilot flame has been established, the match or lighter can be
withdrawn. Continue to press in on the knob for approximately 30
seconds, then slowly release the knob. When the knob is fully
released, the pilot should stay lit.
When the pilot flame is established, turn the safety valve knob counter
clock-wise to the ON position.
