HANAU™TOUCH-O-MATIC®
BUNSEN BURNER
Read all instructions before using the Touch-O-Matic®.
Save these instructions for future reference.
The Touch-O-Matic®bunsen burner is a gas burner. The
burner can operate on four types of gas: butane, propane,
natural gas or mixed gas, depending on the nozzle installed in
the Touch-O-Matic®bunsen burner. The Touch-O-Matic®can
be used for a wide variety of lab applications. The pilot light
makes it convenient for intermittent use.

Important Safety Information
WARNING
DO NOT USE AROUND FLAMMABLE MATERIALS. Misuse
of the burner can cause an explosion or fire and result in
burns and property damage.
DO NOT USE FUEL OTHER THAN THE ONE SPECIFIED
ON THE LABEL AND NOZZLE. Use with an improper fuel
may cause dangerous operation. See the “Gas Conversion”
section for operation with other gases.
DO NOT USE THE BURNER WITH ACETYLENE.
CONNECT THE BURNER TO THE GAS SUPPLY WITH A
HOSE APPROVED FOR THE GAS USED AND A SHUTOFF
FOR THE GAS. Verify the ON-OFF Platform is in the inter-
mittent (OFF) position before turning on the gas supply to the burner.
USE A GAS PRESSURE REGULATOR WHEN USING THE BURNER FOR PROPANE
OR BUTANE. Pressure regulators, not supplied with the burner, must be connected
between the gas supply and the burner. Without the regulator, the flame size cannot
be controlled.
DO NOT LEAVE THE BURNER ON WHILE IT IS UNATTENDED. This includes the
Pilot Light. If the Pilot Light or flame goes out, gas will accumulate and may create an
explosion hazard.
KEEP ALERT FOR THE SMELL OF GAS WHEN THE BURNER IS USED. Do not oper-
ate the burner if parts are missing or the unit has been damaged. If Touch-O-Matic®
is dropped, check it carefully for cracks or other damage. Be alert for any improper
operation. Return the unit to Whip Mix for examination and repair if any problem is
encountered.
DO NOT USE THE NEEDLE VALVE AS AN ON/OFF VALVE. Turn the burner off by
shutting off the gas supply valve. The Needle Valve does not control gas to the Pilot
Light.
DO NOT TAMPER WITH SCREWS (4) LOCATED INSIDE VALVE HOUSING.
IF PROPANE IS USED, DO NOT STORE PROPANE TANKS INDOORS.
WARNING

1. Installation
Securely attach an approved
gas hose (not supplied)
from the gas cock of your
fuel source to the Gas Hose
Intake Connector -. Slip
the Pilot Light Shield 1on
to protect the Pilot Light 2
flame from accidentally being
blown out by air movement.
2.Pilot Light
Adjustment
Turn on the gas supply and
light the Pilot Light 2with a
match or lighter. NOTE: When
lighting the Pilot Light, it may
be necessary to allow gas to
flow for a few seconds before
ignition occurs. Using a small
slotted screwdriver, turn the
Pilot Flame Adjustment Screw
4to increase or decrease
the height of the Pilot Light
flame. Adjust the height of the flame to be low, yet functional and not likely to be blown
out. Unless the Pilot flame is used for the optional Waxing Cup tand Loop Heat
Conductor y(see Figure 3), a 1/4” (6 mm) flame is typically used.
When using the Waxing Cup t, it may be necessary to set the Pilot Light 2flame
higher to keep the wax in the wax cup soft or in a liquid state. See the Waxing Cup and
Loop Heat Conductor section for more information.
3.To Adjust The Air-Gas Mixture
Light the Pilot Light 2as directed above, then depress the ON-OFF Platform 9and
turn the platform clockwise, or counterclockwise, slightly so it remains in the down
(ON) position. This permits the burner to operate with a continuous flame. Adjust
the volume of the gas and the height of the flame by opening or closing the Gas
Adjustment Thumbscrew 8. Turn the Air-Intake Adjustment quntil a bright blue flame
with a blue inner cone is obtained. Readjust the fuel and air, if desired.

4.Operation
Turn on the gas and light the Pilot Light 2and adjust the air-gas mixture as directed
above. Operate with an intermittent or continuous flame as directed below.
Intermittent Flame
Locate the small dot, Intermittent/Continuous Flame Indicator 0, on the ON-OFF
Platform 9. When this is aligned with the Gas Hose Intake Connector -, the burner
is ready for intermittent operation. Depressing the platform releases gas to the main
burner where it is ignited by the Pilot Light 2flame. Removing pressure from the
platform shuts off the supply of gas to the main burner.
Continuous Flame
Depress the ON-OFF Platform 9and turn it slightly clockwise, or counter-clockwise,
until it locks and remains in the down position. The flame will burn continuously
until the platform is returned to its original OFF (up or intermittent) position with the
Intermittent/Continuous Flame Indicator 0oriented toward the Gas Hose Intake
Connector -. Turn the ON-OFF Platform back to the intermittent (OFF) position before
turning off the gas.
To remove wax drippings, remove the Screw for Detaching the Burner Assembly 6
from the Valve Housing 7. Detach the Burner Assembly 5from the Valve Housing,
and place the Burner Assembly in boiling water. DO NOT place the Valve Housing in
water. The “O” Ring (14) does not have to be removed, but be careful not to lose it. Use
care to not bend the Pilot Inlet Tube.
5.Care and Cleaning
To remove wax
drippings, remove
the Screw for
Detaching the
Burner Assembly
6from the Valve
Housing 7.
Detach the Burner
Assembly 5from
the Valve Housing,
and place the
Burner Assembly
in boiling water.
DO NOT place the
Valve Housing in
water. The “O” Ring
wdoes not have to be removed, but be careful not to lose it. Use care to not bend the
Pilot Inlet Tube e. Before reattaching the Burner Assembly, blow out all water from the
Pilot Inlet Tube, Air-Intake Adjustment q, Burner Tube rand the Pilot Light 2. Make
sure that the “O” Ring for the Pilot Inlet Tube is replaced if it was removed.

CAUTION: DO NOT submerge the Valve Housing 7in water. Water will prevent
gas from freely passing through the housing into the Burner Assembly 5and
the flame may be erratic or extinguished and release gas into the room. Keep the
orifice of the Gas Nozzle =open and free of wax. If necessary, remove the Gas
Nozzle with 9/16” wrench, then clean it with hot water.
6.If Gas Odor Is Detected
See Figure 2 on previous page. An unlit Pilot Light 2can allow gas to accumulate in
the room when the unit is left with the gas supply turned on. If the Pilot Light fails to
stay lit, adjust it to a larger flame, or eliminate the draft blowing it out.
Leakage will result if the “O” Ring wis missing. Check to verify the “O” Ring is
installed if the leak occurs following cleaning or disassembly for other reasons.
If gas leakage is noted at the Gas Adjustment Thumbscrew 8or at the Gas Nozzle =,
gently tighten the parts with a wrench to snugly seal them against the body of the Valve
Housing 7. Do not over tighten, this may cause damage to the housing itself.
If leakage continues after securely tightening the Gas Nozzle =, or if the burner flame
fails to shut off automatically when ON-OFF Platform 9is released, return the Touch-
O-Matic®bunsen burner to Whip Mix for repair.
7. Use of Waxing Cup and
Loop Heat Conductor
The Waxing Cup tand the Loop Heat
Conductor yare optional accessories.
Remove the Pilot Shield 1and connect
the small loop built into the outer
circumference of the Waxing Cup over
the Post for the Waxing Cup 3. The
Loop Heat Conductor is placed into the
Waxing Cup, circular side down, and
the Loop Heat Conductor Stem uis
positioned above the Pilot Light, or main
burner, flame to transfer heat down into
the wax cup for softening and keeping
wax at a desired consistency. Replace
the Pilot Shield after attaching the
Waxing Cup.
8.Gas Conversion
Should you desire to operate your Touch-O-Matic®bunsen burner on a gas source
other than the one identified on the body of the Touch-O-Matic®burner and the
Gas Nozzle =, order and install a replacement nozzle. The Gas Nozzles available

Part No. 002838-000.
WARNING: USE THE TOUCH-O-MATIC®ONLY WITH THE FUEL TYPE STAMPED
ONTO THE GAS NOZZLE AND SPECIFIED ON THE LABEL. DO NOT USE
ACETYLENE. WITH PROPANE OR BUTANE, USE A PRESSURE REGULATOR.
9.Replacing the Gas Nozzle
Turn the gas supply off and disconnect
the burner from the gas line. Turn
the Gas Adjustment Thumbscrew 8
counterclockwise to its stop. This backs
the needle valve away from the orifice of
the Gas Nozzle =and helps assure that
it will not be damaged while another gas
nozzle is installed. Use care to not bump
the exposed tip of the needle.
Remove the Screw for Detaching the
Burner Assembly 6and separate the
Burner Assembly 5and the Valve
Housing7. Use a 9/16” wrench to unscrew the Gas Nozzle =and replace the old Gas
Nozzle with the new Gas Nozzle. (Be sure to use pipe dope or sealing compound when
re-installing Gas Nozzle.) Reattach the Burner Assembly to the Valve Housing. Go
back to point 3 to adjust the air-gas mixture and point 6 if gas odor is detected.
WARNING: Make certain the “O” Ring won the Pilot Inlet eis in place,
otherwise the burner will leak gas.
Place a new label that identifies the type of gas to be used with the burner over the
original label on the burner.
