Frequently Asked Questions - HDG4830G Wells

How to light the pilot light on the Wells HDG4830G griddle?
Turn all control knobs to OFF. Ensure the gas shut-off valve is open and the air has been purged. Use a long match or fireplace lighter to ignite the pilot light accessible through the front panel opening. Do not use a cigarette lighter.
What to do if I smell gas?
Do not attempt to light the appliance. Do not touch any electrical switch or use any phone in the building. Close the main gas shut-off valve and contact the gas supplier from an outside location.
How to clean the griddle surface?
Pour a little water on the hot surface to boil off residues. Use a pumice stone or grill scraper to remove debris, then wipe with a damp cloth. Never use steel wool scouring pads. After cleaning, re-season the surface with oil.
How to adjust the burner flame?
Remove the knobs and front panel. Light one burner. Loosen the air shutter locking screw and turn it to obtain a mostly blue flame. Tighten the screw. This operation must be performed by a qualified technician.
Can I use the griddle with propane?
Yes, the HDG4830G model can be configured for propane (LPG) with a manifold pressure of 10" W.C. However, conversion must be performed by a qualified technician. The unit is shipped for natural gas.

WARNING: FIRE HAZARD

This griddle is supplied with a gas pressure regulator. Failure to properly install the supplied regulator will result in an extremely hazardous condition.

Flow arrow stamped on body of regulator must point toward the griddle.

Vent hole must point UP.

IMPORTANT:

Verify fuel gas type. If the available fuel does not match the nameplate specification, exchange the hotplate for the correct type.

IMPORTANT:

The appliance and its individual manual shutoff valve must be disconnected from supply system piping during any pressure testing of that system at pressures in excess of 1/2 p.s.i. (3.5 kPa).

Also, the appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 p.s.i. (3.5 kPa).

INSTALLING THE GAS GRIDDLE

Refer to the nameplate. Verify the fuel type and pressure, which must match the nameplate specifications. Connecting the hotplate to the wrong fuel type and/or pressure will compromise the safety and/or performance of the appliance.

BE SURE TO MAINTAIN REQUIRED CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLE SURFACES.

The griddle must be placed in its final operational position and leveled front-to-back and side-to-side, with a spirit level, prior to beginning the gas piping installation. Re-check the level of the unit at the conclusion of the gas piping installation.

Each gas griddle is supplied with a separate gas pressure regulator, which must be installed on the manifold pipe protruding from the rear of the griddle. Ensure that the regulator is installed such that the flow arrow stamped on the body of the regulator points toward the griddle. Failure to properly install the supplied regulator will result in an extremely hazardous condition.

A moisture trap (drip leg) consisting of a tee, 4" nipple pointing down, and cap must be installed upstream of the gas pressure regulator.

A manual gas shut-off valve may be required by local codes and is, in any case, strongly recommended. The shut-off valve must be installed between the gas supply piping and the gas pressure regulator.

INSTALLATION (continued)

SET GAS PRESSURE:

Gas pressure regulator is factory set.

SET PILOT FLAME:

Remove all burner control knobs, then remove the front panel.

The pilot adjustments are near the control valve for each set of burners.

Using a small, flat-blade screwdriver, turn the screw clockwise to decrease the flame size, or counter-clockwise to increase the flame size.

Adjust the pilot flame to 1/4" high. Test for operation: all sections of the burner must light without undue delay. Drafty conditions may require a higher flame to allow the pilot to remain lit.

Replace the front panel and all knobs before returning the unit to service.

IMPORTANT:

Adjustments must be performed by a qualified technician only.

IMPORTANT:

The griddle is shipped from the factory equipped for natural gas and adjusted for sea level to 2000 feet elevation. For conversion to LP / Propane, or for operation above 2000 feet elevation, contact your Authorized Wells Service Agency.

ADJUST BURNER FLAME:

Remove all burner control knobs, then remove the front panel.

Turn an individual burner on.

Loosen the locking screw on the shutter.

Turn the shutter to admit more or less air as required. Adjust the air shutter until the flame is mostly blue in color.

Tighten the locking screw when finished. Replace the front panel and all knobs before returning the unit to service.

OPERATION

Wells HDG4830G - OPERATION - 1

WARNING: FIRE HAZARD

IF YOU SMELL GAS:

☐ DO NOT try to light any appliance.
☐ DO NOT touch any electrical switch
☐ DO NOT use any telephone in your building.

In the event a gas odor is detected, shut down the unit at the main gas shutoff valve and contact your local gas supplier from a neighboring location.

Follow the instructions received from the gas supplier immediately and exactly.

GENERAL OPERATIONAL NOTES

Carefully read the description of the griddle operation on the specification sheet.

Do NOT use this appliance if it has been submerged in water. Call a qualified technician to examine the appliance and to service or replace any component which has been submerged. Burners which have been allowed to become wet must be thoroughly dried before use.

For initial startup, and any time the gas supply has been shut-off, it may take several minutes to light the pilot while air in the piping and manifolds is purged.

The burner control knobs must be turned by hand only. Never use tools to turn the control knob. If the knob will not turn by hand, DO NOT attempt to force or repair it. Contact your Authorized Wells

Service Agency for repairs. Forced or improperly repaired valves pose the risk of fire and/or explosion.

Make sure burners, pilot burner and grease tray are properly installed before attempting to operate.

LIGHTING THE PILOT FLAME

Before lighting the pilot light, smell all around the appliance area for gas. Be sure to smell near floor level because some gas is heavier than air and will settle to the floor.

For initial startup, and any time the gas supply has been shut-off, it may take several minutes to light the pilot while air in the piping and manifolds is purged.

The pilot light must be lighted by hand:

Turn all control knobs to the full OFF position. The pilot is located adjacent to one leg of the burner, and is accessible through the front panel opening. Be sure the gas shut-off valve is ON and the appliance has had time for the air to be purged from the lines. Attempt to light the pilot every 15 seconds after the gas valve is turned on.

Light the pilot with a long match or fireplace lighter.

DO NOT use a cigarette lighter.

SHUT DOWN INSTRUCTIONS

Turn all burner knobs to OFF.

Turn all pilots OFF.

Turn the main gas supply OFF.

OPERATION

SEASON THE GRIDDLE SURFACE

As manufactured, the steel surface of your Wells griddle has microscopic pores. It is important to fill these pores with oil in order to provide a hard, non-stick cooking surface.

a. Preheat the griddle surface to 375°F (191°C).
b. Spread a light film of cooking oil over the entire griddle surface
c. Allow the oil film to cook in for approximately 2 minutes, or until it smokes.
d. Wipe the griddle surface with a clean damp cloth until all oil is removed.
e. For new griddles, repeat this procedure 2-3 times until the griddle has a slick, clean surface.

OPERATION

Inspect the unit for cleanliness before use. Clean as necessary: See Cleaning Instructions, page 10.

Be sure the pilot light is lit before operation. See Lighting the Pilot Light, page 8.

The burner control knobs must be turned by hand only. Never use tools to turn the control knob.

The control used in this gas griddle provides a continuous range of settings from OFF to ON.

Light the burner by turning the control knob to the ON position until fire forms completely in all sections of the burner. Set the control knob to the desired position. The setting can be readjusted at any time.
