USING THE WOK COOKTOP
GENERAL USE
BURNER
Your new DCS Professional Wok Cooktop is equipped with a heavy cast iron burner typical of those used in
restaurants. It is designed with an electric spark ignition to eliminate the continuous pilot found on a restaurant
wok. The burner is rated at 30,000 BTU/HR.
NOTE: When used with propane gas, a slight pop or flash may occur at the burner ports a few seconds after the
burner has been turned off. This usually occurs after the burner has been on an extended period of time. This is a
normal part of operation for your wok.
ELECTRIC SPARK IGNITER
If the burner does not ignite, turn the control knob to “OFF”.
BURNER EFFICIENCY AND FLAME CHARACTERISTICS:
The burner flame should be blue in color and stable with no yellow tips, excessive noise or lifting. It should burn
completely around both rings of the burner. An improper gas-air mixture may cause either a yellow tipped flame
or burner flutter. Have the flame adjusted by a technician. Foreign particles in the gas line may cause an orange
flame during initial use. This will disappear with use.
For proper lighting and efficient performance of the burner, it is necessary to keep the igniter and burner ports
clean. If the flame is uneven, flutters, makes excessive noise or lifts, check to see if the burner ports are clogged.
If the ports are clogged, use a wire, a straightened paper clip or needle to clear the ports. Do not use wood, or
objects that could break easily to clear ports. They could break off and clog ports. If the condition persists,
contact a service agent for adjustment.
CONTROL KNOB
The burner has an infinite number of heat settings and there are no fixed positions on the control knob between
HI and LO. To turn burner on, push in on the control knob and turn it counterclockwise to the LITE-HI position.
A single click will be heard as the spark igniter lights the pilot. The pilot will burn for approximately 30 seconds
before the main gas safety valve opens and the burner lights.
DRIP TRAY
A drip tray is located under the wok burner. Be sure it is in place before using the wok. Spills should be washed
off as soon as possible to prevent “baked on soil”. When the tray is cool, slide it forward to remove.
