PILOT LIGHTING AND ADJUSTMENTS
Although pilot lighting procedures are to be performed by both installation and operation personnel,
only installation/service personnel should attempt to make any pilot or burner adjustments to this
range. Operation personnel are authorized only to perform procedures for pilot lighting. All adjustment
procedures associated with pilot lighting must be performed by an authorized Vulcan-Hart installation
or service person. While performing these procedures, do not turn burner valves ON with burner
heads removed.
Hot Top and Griddle Top Burners
1. Turn main gas supply ON.
2. Wait 30 seconds, and using a taper, light the hot top or griddle top pilot.
3. If pilot fails to light, turn main gas supply OFF. Wait 5 minutes and repeat the above procedures.
4. Turn one hot top or griddle top burner valve ON to remove air from the gas line. Turn burner valve
OFF when gas begins to flow.
Hot Top and Griddle Top Pilot Burner Adjustments
Tools Required: Standard flat blade screwdriver.
After pilot is lit, adjust pilot burner flame, if necessary, by rotating the adjustment screw of the pilot valve
located on the manifold pipe (see Fig. 1).
1. Turn burner ON. Burner flame should appear on burner head within a second.
2. Rotate the screw clockwise to decrease and counterclockwise to increase the flame.
Nightly Shutdown: Turn burner valve OFF; pilot will remain lit.
Complete Shutdown: Turn burner valve OFF; pilot will remain lit. Turn main gas supply OFF; pilot
goes out.
Open Top Burners
1. Turn main gas supply ON.
2. Wait 30 seconds, and using a taper, light the open top pilot (Fig. 4).
