The pilot light has been set at the factory. Each burner has a pilot light.
8.1、Lighting the pilot light
Turn the control valve at the position of “0”(Fig.2), make sure all
knobs are in the close state. Light and hold an ignition source at the pilots.
The pilot light may not be lighted immediately, for existing gas in the pipe.
Wait a minute, the pilot light will be lighted after the gas extinguished.
Tips: You can use a screwdriver to adjust the height of the flame (Fig.3).
8.2、Lighting the main burner
Revolve the main fire control valve knob counterclockwise after lighting
the pilot light, then the main fire burner is lighted by the pilot light.
The power of burner increases as revolving angel increases. When knob reaches
to " ", burner is in the maximum power(Fig.4).

- 10 -
Fig.2 Fig.3 Fig.4

8.4、Stove Operation
Before using the stove for the first time, please use a mild detergent
to wipe it clean. Do not use corrosive or abrasives detergent.
Turn the burners on about 15-20 minutes before broiling for preheating,
according to the cooking requirement to adjust the flame size.
Notice: When first preheating, the furnace will smoke rise. This is
because of protective lipids on the grates and other parts are heated, it
is normal, and it will be eliminated after the power up to the maximum for
burning an hour.
One side of grate with grease trough (Fig.5), and on the other side of
grate is flat (Fig.6), users can choose a side according to demand, users
also can adjust grate’s gradient according to demand (Fig.7). The side of
grate with grease trough up if roasting food with more oil, and oil will drop
into grease trough, then flow to catch tray.
