OPERATING THE TOP BURNERS
MODELS WITHOUT SEALED BURNERS
The top burners of some models are equipped with Tri-Set
top burner valves. These valves provide flame adjustment
for any size flame which is desired as well as "click"
positions for "LO", "MED", and "HI" settings. Depress the
knob and turn the knob counterclockwise as far as it will go.
When the burner lights, turn the knob back to the desired
flame height.
The "HI" position provides a flame which will bring water to
a full boil quickly. This is the "full on" position of the valve.
If the burner flame is turned down, an audible "click" can be
heard as the valve reaches the "MEDIUM" position. This
flame is sufficient to keep water boiling in a covered pan.
When the flame is turned down lower, a second "click" can
be heard. This is a very low or "Keep Warm" flame setting
which is the "LO" position on the valve. The low flame
provides a warming heat to keep food which is already
cooked ready to serve.
The Tri-Set valves are equipped with metered, fixed
orifices, and the low setting cannot be adjusted. As there
are air shutters, the burner flames can be adjusted in
accordance with the Adjustment and Calibration Instruc-
tions.
The HI-LOW valves on other models are similar but
without the "click" stops.
TOP BURNERS
The top burners consists of a burner and integral cap, a
flash tube and support, a gas delivery tube including
venturi and an adjustment air shutter. These burners are
designed for trouble free operation with a minimum of
parts.
MODELS WITH SEALED BURNERS
The top burners of these models are equipped with Tri-Set
top burner valves. These valves provide flame adjustment
for any size flame which is desired as well as "click"
positions for "LO", "MED", and "HI" settings.
Whenever a top burner gas valve knob is depressed and
turned fully counterclockwise, the electrode built into the
burner cap will start sparking and continue as long as the
knob is held in this position. After the burner lights, move
the knob to the "HI" position of the valve. At this time the
sparking will cease. There are no standing pilots that have
to be lighted or adjusted.
The "HI" position provides a flame which will bring water to
a full boil quickly. This is the "full on" position of the valve.
If the burner flame is turned down, an audible "click" can be
heard as the valve reaches the "MEDIUM" position. This
flame is sufficient to keep water boiling in a covered pan.
When the flame is turned down lower, a second "click" can
be heard. This is a very low or "Keep Warm" flame setting
which is the "LO" position on the valve. The low flame
provides a warming heat to keep food which is already
cooked ready to serve.
The low burner flame may be adjusted by turning adjust-
ment screw in center of valve stem. Normally, the low
flame should be adjusted to the minimum steady blue
flame. Check the adjustment by turning from high to low
several times to see that the burner does not go out.
NOTE: When adjusting the low burner flame, the valve
stem should be held in the "LOW" position.
