INITIAL OPERATION
Initial Pilot Light
Initial pilot light is in the following sequence:
1. Turn the manual shut-o valve on the incoming service
line “OFF”.
2. Turn all burner valves “OFF”.
3. Close all pilot adjusting screws (clockwise turn all the way
in).
4. Wait for any accumulated gas to disperse.
5. Open the manual shut-o valve.
6. Apply a lighted match or taper to a pilot burner and open
that pilot’s adjustment screw gradually until the pilot
lights.
7. Adjust the pilot ame for the desired characteristics.
8. Turn “ON” that main burner and watch to make sure it
lights from the pilot, then turn the burner “OFF”.
9. Repeat steps 6 through 8 to light all remaining pilots.
If only one pilot has gone out, it is not necessary to follow
the entire procedure outlined above. Merely apply a lighted
match or taper to the pilot until it lights, then adjust the pilot
valve. If the pilot will not light, close the adjustment valve
completely, do not use that burner, and call for service.
NOTE: It may be necessary to re-light the pilots several
times until the new lines are purged of any trapped air and
constant gas ow is attained.
Final Preparation
New units are wiped clean with solvent at the factory to
remove any visible signs of dirt, oil, grease, etc., remaining
from the manufacturing process. They should be washed
with hot, soapy water to remove any solvent or oil residue or
installation dust or debris before using for food preparation.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING If gas odors are detected, the gas supply must
be turned “OFF” at the main shut-o valve and the local
gas company or authorized service agency contacted for
service.
General Cleaning
Any piece of equipment works better and lasts longer when
maintained properly and kept clean. Cooking equipment is
no exception. Your U.S. Range hot plate must be kept clean
during the working day and thoroughly cleaned at the end
of each day.
Daily
Check the drip pan frequently. Wipe up spills as they occur,
and drain the pan as necessary during the day.
At the end of each day, lift o the burner grates, burner
heads and venturis and wash in hot, soapy water, then re-
assemble. Grates lift directly up, burners slide to the rear to
clear the burner valve and orice, then lift up and out.
Remove the drip pan and wash thoroughly.
Clean the counter surface under and around the hot plate.
Periodic
Your U.S. Range hot plate should be checked and adjusted
periodically by qualied service personnel as part of a regular
kitchen maintenance program.
Cleaning Stainless Steel
All stainless steel body parts should be wiped regularly with
hot, soapy water during the day, and with a liquid cleaner
designed for this material at the end of each day. Do not
use steel wool, abrasive cloths, cleansers, or powders! If it
is necessary to scrape stainless steel to remove encrusted
materials, soak the encrusted area with wet cloths to loosen
the material, then use a wood or nylon scraper. Do not use
a metal knife, spatula, or any other metal tools to scrape
stainless steel. Scratches are almost impossible to remove.
