5. This appliance should be installed on a stable, level and non-combustible surface (e.g. cement, ceramic tile, terrazzo and metal surface). Verify the requirements of local regulation. Paving metal or ceramic tile onto combustible material does not conform to requirements of non-combustible surface regulation. Please leave appropriate clearance for the ventilation vent in the cabinet to keep the appliance away from the combustible surface nearby.
6. The mounting position should supply sufficient make-up air during normal combustion and installation should not block the burning airflow and ventilation.
7. If the exhaust fan is used, pay special attention to avoid operations that interfere with the device, e.g. ventilation and air demand of the device.
8. After installation, level the device and keep stable. DO NOT sway or tilt the device during operation.
9. DO NOT use gas that is not applicable to this device as fuel, DO NOT use high-pressure or medium-pressure regulating valves. This device is can only be used with a low-pressure regulating valve.
10.  A quick-acting switch-off gas valve should be installed upstream to the device where it is easy to reach before installation.
11.  Make sure the supplied gas is the same as the gas that the device allows to use. If not, please stop using.
12. Coat some dedicated pipe sealant for gas pipeline in all the pipe joints. The sealant used should have durability for the gas action.
13.  If the pipeline pressure is 10% higher or lower than the rated pressure, please install a pressure regulator to adjust the gas pressure to reach the rated one.
14. Installation from the outlet end of the gas flow meter or service regulator to the gas pipe of the device should be operated by professional technicians and qualified personnel. They should also use the cooking equipment first and adjust it.
15. DO NOT block the ventilation of the device and interfere with the ventilation needed during normal operation of the burners.
16. After connecting the appliance to the gas system, check for leaks at joints and pipe fittings; to do so, use soapy water or a specific leak detector (spray).

2. Before installing the gas pipeline, please install the appliance in an ultimate-use position. Adjust the height of the appliance on all 4 leveling legs using a water level to make sure the device in a level state. After installing the gas pipeline, check the level state of the device again.
3. According to requirement of local standard and strong recommendation of the manufacturer, a gas shut-off valve may be needed between the gas supply pipeline and gas-pressure regulator. Whether the installation of the gas shut-off valve has any requirements in the local standard should be judged by the gas installation personnel.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Before operation, please read the user’s manual carefully. If the appliance has been immersed in water, please stop using and call the technicians to check and repair or replace all the components that are immersed in the water. Dry the wet burners before using. Before using, please make sure that the main burner, pilot light burner and oil receiver are in correct installation.

1. Before igniting the pilot light, ensure there is no gas odor around the device. When first using or after cutting off the gas supply, it may take several minutes to ignite the pilot light due to the air existing in the pipeline or clearance of the inlet pipe.

2.  The pilot light should be ignited manually. Remove the grate and rotate all the control knobs to the full open position. The pilot light is near the burner, which can be reached from the top of the burner. Make sure that the gas shut-off valve is on and the air in the pipeline is cleared. After turning on the gas valve, ignite the pilot light with a match or igniter, DO NOT use lighter. Then re-install the grate.

3.  After using, please turn off the main gas supply, all burner knobs and the pilot light.

4. The control knobs of this device have a continuous setting range from “ON” to “OFF”. Rotate the knob to the “ON” position to ignite the burner until all parts of the burner become lit. Then set the control knob to the desired position. The set value can be adjusted freely at any time.
   NOTE: Control knobs of the burners can be operated manually only. DO NOT rotate it with tools. If it cannot be rotated manually, DO NOT rotate or repair it with force. Force or improper maintenance may cause fire or explosion.

5.  If you are not going to use the appliance, please turn off the control knobs to save energy. The gas burner can provide a large quantity of heat, therefore, DO NOT keep the appliance on if it is used intermittently.

ADJUSTING THE PILOT LIGHT
The pilot flame on the equipment has been factory adjusted. When adjustment is necessary, adjust the pilot
flames as small as possible but high enough to light the burner immediately when the burner valve is turned to the highest setting. Access to the pilot flame adjustment screw is obtained through the holes in the front panel.
NOTE: There may be some smoke at the initial startup as the result of rust prevention coatings burning off. This is normal. Please allow at least a 15 minute burn in period before using for the first time.

ADJUSTING THE BURNER FLAME

1.  Remove all the control knobs, front panel, grates, and the heat radiant panel.
2. Turn on a single burner and unscrew the lock screw on the baffle.
3.  Rotate the baffle to increase or reduce the ventilation volume according to the requirement.
4.  Regulate the air baffle to make majority of the flame become blue. Then screw the lock screw tightly.
5. Before using, install the grate, front panel, heat radiant panel and all the knobs back.

DAILY INSPECTION
It is necessary to check the cooking equipment daily to avoid serious accidents. Stop using if user feels that there are some problems in the circuit or machine. Check the condition of the machine before or after using every day. Before using, make sure the cooking equipment isn’t tilted and that the control panel is intact. While using, ensure there are no strange smells, light back, flameouts or vibrating noises and that the burner flame is normal.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

1. Take down the grate from the heat radiant panel to clean:
   a. Remove the food residue and scraps on the grate surface with a steel brush scraper.
