Can I bypass the pilot and light the main burner only?
No, the pilot button and burner (#1 button on the left) must be engaged before the main burner button (#2 on the right) is engaged.
What is the black valve on the front for?
This is a gas valve that can be used to shut off gas to the burners. The handle is horizontal when on and vertical when off.
Does this have to be under a hood?
Under most conditions, gas rice cookers emit class 2 vapors (steam) and combustion byproducts. Codes and regulations vary by municipality Contact your local authorities for permissibility.
Does this unit come with a gas pressure regulator?
It is supplied with the required appliance regulator, shipped inside the pot. Depending on the gas system, a first stage regulator may be required. This scenario is more likely when using propane gas. Confirm with the licensed plumber installing the unit.
What are the warranty terms?
The 6 month limited mail in warranty applies for commercial use only, when properly installed. See warranty page for more details.
What are the indentations on the inside of the pot for?
The markings on the left side are volume designations. The levels on the right side are general designations of how many people that level is capable of feeding. For example: the level marked 3 on the scale is for 30 people.
What rice warmer should I pair with this unit?
While this unit can hold rice for short periods of time, you may want to transfer the cooked rice immediately so another batch can be cooked or to keep the rice fresher. 50 cup gas rice cookers pair well with our 56918, 56919, or 56920 23 quart rice warmers.
