Wells COUNTER TOP GAS HOTPLATE H-2412G - Manual (Page 10)

OPERATION
GENERAL OPERATIONAL NOTES
Carefully read the description of the hotplate 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 burner 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 burners, pilot burner, drip tray, actuators and grate
assembly are properly installed before attempting to operate.
LIGHTING THE PILOT FLAMES
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.
The pilot flame must be lighted by hand:
Turn both control knobs to the full OFF position.
Be sure the gas shut-off valve is ON and the appliance has had
time for the air to be purged from the lines.
Remove the grate and drip pan. The pilots are located adjacent
to their respective burner.
Light the pilot with a long match or fireplace lighter. Use of a
cigarette lighter is NOT recommended.
IF THE UNIT DOES NOT LIGHT or
IN THE EVENT OF A GAS INTERRUPTION:
Turn main valve to unit. Wait 5 minutes for gas to clear.
Turn off all knobs and pilot valves.
Turn on main valve and light pilots.
