Pilot Lighting
To light the pilot burner:
1. Press the control knob and rotate it clockwise to the
OFF position. Allow five (5) minutes to pass to allow
any unburned gas to dissipate.
WARNING
L.P. Gas is heavier than air and does not dissipate
easily. Venting the area with a fan or equivalent
is recommended before attempting to relight the
pilot burner.
2. Rotate the control knob to the PILOT position, press
the knob fully and light the pilot burner.
3. Continue to hold the control knob down for about
one minute to allow the pilot sensor enough time to
heat up and sense the flame.
4. Release the knob and the pilot should remain lit.
5. Rotate the knob to the ON position, set the thermostat
located in the control box to the desired wash tank
temperature (150° - 160° F).
The main burner should ignite when the thermostat calls
for heat.
CAUTION
Do not turn on gas heat until the wash tank is filled
with water.
Note: The main burner is equipped with a non adjustable
orifice (0.052 for L.P. gas and 0.078 for Natural gas).
