Initial Start-up / Operation
PLACEMENT OF LAVA ROCK
Place a layer of lava rock on the stainless steel pan located directly above the burners.
PILOT & MAIN BURNERS
All Tandoors are tested and adjusted before leaving the factory, effectively matching them to sea level condi-
tions. Adjustments to assure proper operation may be necessary on installation to meet local conditions; low gas pres-
sure, differences in altitude, variations in gas characteristics, possible problems caused by rough handling or vibration
during shipment, and are to be performed only by qualified service personnel. These are the responsibilities of the cus-
tomer and/or dealer and are not covered by Dynamic Cooking Systems Inc.
The Tandoor utilizes a standing pilot to ignite the main burners. Both the pilot and main burner gas supply are
fed through a thermomagnetic safety valve. Proof of pilot through the use of a thermocouple is required for main gas
supply to open. To gain access to the safety valve and pilot open the hinged lower front panel. The pilot is located
between the two burners.
LIGHTING THE PILOT
1) Turn OFF the two main burner valves located on the front of the Tandoor.
2) Open the manual shut off valve in the incoming service line.
3) Open the hinged lower front panel.
4) Depress and hold the red button on the safety and apply a lit match or taper to the pilot burner. Hold this
button in until the pilot stays lit when it is released. This may take a minute or longer.
5) If the pilot does not stay lit, depress the red button on the safety valve and relight the pilot, holding the red
button in longer before releasing. It may be necessary to relight the pilot several times until the lines are
purged of any trapped air and a constant gas flow is established.
LIGHTING MAIN BURNERS
Once the pilot burner flame is established either or both of the main burners can be lit by turning on the burner
valves located on the front panel of the Tandoor.
Warning:
When lighting the pilots and checking for burner performance keep your face away from
the burners. The burner may light with a “ POP” and could flashback and cause facial
burns.
Caution:
If the pilot and main burner go out, the Tandoor MUST be left completely shut down at
least 5 minutes before lighting.
SHUT DOWN
Nightly shut down turn OFF both main burner valves located on the front panel of the Gas Tandoor. To com-
pletely shut down turn OFF both burner valves located on the front panel of the Tandoor and turn OFF the manual shut
off valve in the incoming service line.
