PILOT LIGHTING PROCEDURE – 900RX MODELS
1. Turn the griddle shut-off valve to the OFF position (See Fig.6 on page 9). Wait 5 minutes to allow any
gas that may have accumulated in the burner compartment to escape.
2. Turn the griddle shut-off valve to the ON position (See Fig. 5 on page 9).
3. Push and hold the power switch in the ON position. The switch will illuminate and you will hear a
“clicking” sound.
4. While continuing to hold the power switch in the ON position, depress and hold the red button on the
pilot safety valve while the electric igniters light the corresponding pilots. You will have to monitor the
pilot burners through the pilot sight holes. The pilot burners are aligned with the red buttons on the pilot
safety valves . The pilot burners are inset 12” from the front of the unit.
5. Watch for the pilot burners to ignite. When the gas at the pilot has been burning for about 45
seconds, release the corresponding red button on the pilot safety valve. If the pilot does not remain
lit, repeat the procedure allowing more time before releasing the button. The amount of time
necessary to hold the safety valve button will increase at the initial installation of the unit and if the
main gas supply has been turned off for a long period of time. It may be necessary to adjust the pilot
valve to increase gas to the pilot.
6. Repeat steps until all pilots are lit.
7. The pilot burners can be lit manually in the event of a failure of the electronic ignition system. If
this happens, repeat steps 1-5 without holding the power switch in the ON position. You will have to
reach under the front of the unit and through the pilot cutout to ignite the pilots with an outside ignition
source(such as a lit taper, etc.) while again depressing the corresponding red button.
8. If after completing steps 1 – 7 and the pilot does not light, turn the griddle shut-off valve to the OFF
position (See Fig. 6 on page 9) and contact an authorized service agency.
