2. On Non-CE units, turn the gas valve knob to the ON position
(see illustration at right.) NOTE: CE gas valves do not have
an ON/OFF knob. These valves will activate automatically
when the controller power switch is placed in the ON position
and the lower water level sensor is covered with water.
The burners should light for several seconds and then go out. A
few seconds later they should light again. This cycle will repeat
about 10 times, at which time the burners should remain lit until
the setpoint is reached.
If the burners fail to light, press the power switch to the
OFF position, wait 60 seconds, then repeat this step.
3. After the burners have been lit continuously for at least 90 seconds, observe the burners through
the burner viewports. They should display a bright orange-red glow. If a blue flame is observed,
or if there are dark spots on a burner face, the air gas mixture requires adjustment, as explained
below.
NOTE: Adjusting the Air/Gas Mixture:
On the side of the blower housing opposite the motor is a plate with one or two locking nuts.
Loosen the nut(s) enough to allow the plate to be moved, then adjust the position of the plate to
open or close the air intake opening until a bright orange-red glow. Carefully hold the plate in
position and tighten the lock nut(s).

display will begin to count down. At the end of the cooking cycle, an alarm will sound briefly to
alert you and the basket lift will automatically raise the basket or portion cups out of the water.
The display will automatically return to the previously set cooking time. If the same time is
desired for the next batch, simply press the Start Timer switch when ready, otherwise enter the
new cooking time before pressing the switch.
