ADJUSTMENTS
ADJUSTMENT OF PILOT FLAME (GRIDDLE MODELS)
The pilots are adjusted at the factory. If later the pilots are over-adjusted to the point where the flame is
leaving its port, or “blowing off,” the result is an unstable condition in which the pilot may extinguish. If
necessary, adjust each burner’s pilot using the following procedure:
1. Open the door on the lower front of the appliance, remove the control knobs, and remove the control
panel by removing the screws holding it in place.
2. If necessary, light the pilots.
3. Locate the adjustment valve of the pilot that needs adjustment (see Figure 16 below). On thermostatic
griddles, the valve is in the pilot’s supply line, while on manual griddles the valve connects the pilot’s
supply line to the front manifold. Turn the pilot adjustment screw to the left to increase the size of the
pilot flame, or to the right to decrease the size of the pilot flame. The flame should be about 1/2" high
with a slight yellow tip, and cover the thermocouple tip. The flame is too high if the yellow tip is
producing black streaks of carbon.
4. Repeat Step 3 for each pilot.
5. Replace the control panel and knobs.

ADJUSTMENT OF PILOT FLAME (CHARBROILER AND OPEN-TOP MODELS)
The pilots are adjusted at the factory. If later the pilots are over-adjusted to the point where the flame is
leaving its port, or “blowing off,” the result is an unstable condition in which the pilot may extinguish. If
necessary, adjust each burner’s pilot using the following procedure:
1. If necessary, light the pilots.
2. Locate the pilot adjustment valve (see Figure 17 below). Turn the pilot adjustment screw to the left to
increase the size of the pilot flame, or to the right to decrease the size of the pilot flame. The flame
should be about 1/2" high with a slight yellow tip. The maximum pilot flame height is 3/4". The flame is
too high if the yellow tip is producing black streaks of carbon.
4. Repeat Step 3 for each pilot.
5. Replace the control panel and knobs.
