4. Gas Connection

This appliance is designed for Natural Gas. The gas connection must be performed by a licensed and qualified gas technician. Ensure the gas supply pressure matches the appliance's requirements. A manual shut-off valve must be installed upstream of the appliance for safety and service.

5. Grates Installation

Place the heavy-duty cast iron top grate securely over the burner assembly. Ensure it is seated correctly to provide a stable cooking surface.

Operating Instructions

1. Before First Use

Before operating, ensure all packing materials are removed and the unit is properly installed and connected to the gas supply. Clean the grates and stainless steel surfaces with a mild detergent and warm water.

2. Ignition

• Ensure the main gas supply valve to the appliance is open.
• Push in and turn the desired burner control knob counter-clockwise to the 'PILOT' position.
• Immediately apply a lit match or long lighter to the pilot opening. Hold the knob in for approximately 15-20 seconds after the pilot ignites to allow the thermocouple to heat up.
• Release the knob. If the pilot light goes out, repeat the process.
• Once the pilot is lit, turn the control knob further counter-clockwise to the desired flame setting (LOW to HIGH). The ATSP-18-1 features independent manual controls for inner and outer burner rings, allowing precise heat adjustment.

3. Adjusting Flame

The stove features two independent control knobs for the single burner. One knob controls the inner flame ring, and the other controls the outer flame ring. This allows for versatile heat control, from a gentle simmer to a powerful boil. Adjust the knobs to achieve the desired flame intensity for your cooking needs.

4. Shutting Down

• To turn off the main burner, turn the control knob clockwise to the 'OFF' position.
• For complete shutdown, close the main gas supply valve to the appliance.

5. Usage Tips

• Always use appropriate cookware for the stock pot stove. Large, heavy-duty stock pots are recommended.
• Ensure the pot is centered on the grate for even heat distribution and stability.
• Never leave the stove unattended while in operation.

Maintenance

Regular cleaning and maintenance will extend the life of your Atosa ATSP-18-1 Stock Pot Stove and ensure optimal performance.

1. Daily Cleaning

• Allow the stove to cool completely before cleaning.
• Remove the cast iron grates and clean them with warm, soapy water and a stiff brush. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely to prevent rust.
• Wipe down all stainless steel surfaces with a damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Dry immediately to prevent water spots.
• Clean any spills or food debris from the burner area.

2. Deep Cleaning

• Periodically, inspect the burner ports for any blockages. Use a wire brush or a small wire to clear any debris.
• Ensure the pilot light assembly is clean and free of grease buildup.
• Check gas connections for any signs of leaks (use a soapy water solution, never an open flame). If a leak is detected, shut off the gas supply immediately and contact a qualified technician.

3. Stainless Steel Care

To maintain the finish of your stainless steel stove, avoid using abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or harsh chemicals that can scratch or damage the surface. Always wipe with the grain of the stainless steel.
