Town RiceMaster Gas Rice Cookers - Manual (Page 4)

Always follow these lighting and shut down instructions when lighting your rice cooker. A five minute
complete shutoff period is required before lighting or relighting pilot. Check for gas leaks before relighting
unit. Use soapy water or other suitable leak detector. Rinse off the soapy water after testing.
Notice to Installer: The following must be performed to insure proper operation.
1. Remove Pot, Outer Jacket, and Drip Tray.
2. Turn gas valve to “ON” position as in figure 2 below.
3. Gently push on the #2 COOK button. It should stop half way down and not engage. This is
a safety feature that does not allow accidental start of the main burner unless the pilot button has
already been pushed.
4. Push the left button marked #1 START down until you hear a click, then release it. This is the
ignition lever and the pilot should light. The red button marked WARM controls the pilot and is
hidden by the #1 START button when off. Pushing the #1 START button also depressed the
WARM button, exposing it. It will stay down until pushed up to extinguish the pilot. If the pilot
has not lit, repeat until pilot lights.
5. If pilot fails to remain lit, see Trouble Shooting.
6. Replace the Pot, Outer Jacket, and Drip Tray in their proper order. With the pilot lit, push the
#2 COOK button down to its position without water in the pot. The rice cooker should shut off
within 3 to 4 minutes. If it fails to shut off, push the #2 COOK button up to its off position and
see Trouble Shooting. If it shuts off normally, add a gallon of water and wait for the “click”
sound indicating that the sensor has reset. With the pilot lit, again press the #2 COOK button.
The rice cooker should boil the pot dry and then shut off. If it fails to shut off normally, push the
#2 COOK button up to its off position and see Trouble Shooting.
SHUT DOWN: When removing the pot, make sure to push the red button WARM until it clicks and is hid-
den by the start button. It is then in the “OFF” position. A five minute complete shutoff period is required
before lighting or relighting pilot.
WARNING: When igniting the pilot, position the Jacket Window directly over #1 START and #2 COOK
buttons. Do not be too close to the viewing hole when igniting.
