1.13.2 LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
For manual pilots, refer to the following instructions.
a. Open gas supply valves to the appliance.
b. Turn the thermostat control knob counterclockwise to the OFF position.
c. Turn the gas valve knob to the PILOT position and push in on the
knob. Hold the knob in for approximately one minute to purge the air out
of the line. Hold a flame to the pilot until the pilot ignites; this may take a
little while the first time you light the pilot because of the air in the lines.
Once lit, hold the knob in for approximately one minute and then
release.
d. If the pilot goes out, wait 5 minutes and repeat step C. If after three tries the
pilot will not remain lit, refer to the operator troubleshooting section of this manual.
e. Once a pilot flame has been established, turn the gas valve knob
counterclockwise to the ON position.
f. Set the thermostat control knob to the desired temperature setting.
The main burners will ignite and be controlled by the thermostat.
For Electronic Pilot refer to the following instructions.
NOTE: There is nothing to manually light on the electronic ignition system. Pilot ignition is performed and
controlled by the electronic ignition system.
a. Open the gas supply valves to the appliance.
b. Turn the thermostat control knob counterclockwise to the OFF position.
c. Turn the gas valve knob to the ON position.
d. Turn the appliance ON/OFF/TEST switch to the ON position. If the appliance is
equipped with the optional melt cycle place the switch in the MELT ON position.
e. Turn the thermostat to the desired temperature setting. The main burners will light
and be controlled by the thermostat.
f. The POWER ON light will come on and remain on as long as the power switch is in
the ON position. The HEATING light will be illuminated when the main burners are on.
WARNING
If pilot extinguishes, wait 5 minutes before attempting to relight the pilot to allow
any built up gas to dissipate.
