SAFETY GAS PILOT LIGHT FUNCTION:
The Affi nity 30Gp is equipped with two independently controlled circular gas burners, two Safety
Gas Pilot Light valves, and a dual piezo spark ignition system. The gas pilots for both the inner
and outer burners consist of a pre-confi gured pilot burner orifi ce/jet specifi cally for either Natural
Gas or LP Propane Gas operation.
The purpose of the Safety Pilot Valve is to ensure no gas fl ows to the main burner manifold
unless the gas pilot’s are burning. When a pilot light is burning, it heats a Thermocouple probe
which opens the safety valve and allows gas to fl ow. This “safety” feature controls situations
where a gas knob is turned on and no fl ame is present, thereby eliminating unburned gas into an
occupied space.
It is recommended the gas pilot light burners be shut off each night to minimize gas usage.

BLEEDING AIR FROM GAS LINE
IT IS IMPORTANT TO BLEED OUT THE GAS LINE, OR ‘PURGE’, TO ENSURE ALL
AIR POCKETS ARE REMOVED. IF YOU DO NOT BLEED YOUR GAS LINE AND
THERE ARE AIR POCKETS IN THE LINE YOUR APPLIANCE MAY NOT START
How To Bleed The Gas Line:
Step 1: Turn on gas at the gas inlet valve (external to the evo appliance and supplied by others).
Step 2: Locate the gas bleed port, and using a small fl at-blade screwdriver, open the gas bleed screw until all the air
is purged from the gas line and until there is a faint smell of gas and then immediately close the bleed screw.
Step 3: It is extremely important to ensure the gas bleed screw is completely closed to prevent gas from leaking from
the gas bleed port.
IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO ENSURE THE GAS BLEED SCREW IS COMPLETELY
CLOSED TO PREVENT GAS FROM LEAKING FROM THE GAS BLEED PORT OR
POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS SITUATION WHICH, IF NOT AVOIDED, COULD RESULT IN
DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY

LIGHTING STANDING PILOT BURNERS
To Light The Inner and Outer Standing Pilot Burners:
STEP 1: The external gas shut-off valve must be in the ON position.
STEP 2: Press the Ignition Button and simultaneously press the Inner Burner Pilot Light Button. It may
be necessary to keep the pilot light button depressed for several minutes if air in the gas line was not
bled before installation. Check to see if the gas pilot light is burning by visually inspecting through the
Flame Viewing Portals for the presence of a fl ame. Once a fl ame is present, stop pressing the Ignition
Button and continue pressing the pilot light button for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute to allow the
Thermocouple to become hot and the Pilot Safety Valve to open.
STEP 3: Once a steady fl ame is witnessed, release the Inner Burner Pilot Light Button and confi rm the
pilot light continues to burn. If the pilot light fails or extinguishes, then repeat Step 1. The most common
reason for the pilot light sequence to fail is the pilot light button is not held long enough to heat the
thermocouple, or there’s an excess amount of air in the inlet gas line created during installation. With
the pilot safety valve open, full functionality to the inner and outer burners is now available.
STEP 4: Repeat steps 1 and 2 for the Outer Burner Pilot Light. With both the inner and outer pilot light
burners lit and continuously burning, full functionality to the inner and outer main tube burners is now
available.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL
How To Adjust Inner and Outer Temperature Control Knobs:
With both the inner and outer pilot light burners lit and continuously burning, select the inner or outer or
both control knobs and choose a temperature setting between Hi, Med and Low.
To control temperature across the entire cooking surface, select an appropriate temperature based on the
food being prepared using both the inner and outer control knobs. If focused temperature is required at
the center of the cooking surface, choose a temperature setting using only the inner control knob, leaving
the outer control knob set to Low or Off . In a similar way, if focused temperature is required at the outer
diameter of the cooking surface, then choose a temperature using only the outer control knob, leaving the
inner knob set to Low or Off .
Representative Temperatures For Low, Med and Hi Control Knob Settings:
Temperature settings using both the inner and outer control knobs set to Low, Med and Hi are as follows:
Inner knob set to Lo = 237F (Outer Off ), Inner knob set to Med = 310F (Outer Off ), Inner knob set to Hi =
368F (Outer Off )
Outer knob set to Lo = 225F (Inner Off ), Inner knob set to Med = 304F (Inner Off ), Inner knob set to Hi =
405F (Inner Off )
Inner and Outer knob set to Lo = 358F, Inner and Outer knob set to Med = 450F, Inner and Outer knob
set to Hi = 522F.
Diff erences in altitude and inlet gas pressure less than recommended 7”W.C for NG and 11”W.C
for LP will cause a variation in set temperature.

REMOVABLE SPILLOVER TRAYS
The Affi nity grill has removable waste pans concealed in doors on both the right and left side of the
front control panel. It is very important to monitor the level of spillover in the trays, and immediately
empty when they are near full or after each use.
Opening Spillover Tray Doors - To open a door, grasp the door at its bottom and pull forward.
Do not operate cook top or clean drip pan into spillover slots without waste pans
installed in spillover doors. Failure to install waste pan will result in cooking grease
contamination to the underside of door. This requires immediate cleaning.
Do not allow spillover liquids or debris down spillover slots when doors are open. Any
liquids or debris that may fall into this area when doors are open should be immediately
wiped with a dry cloth, and keep this area clean at all times.
Do not allow the spillover trays to overfl ow, and do not allow full trays to splash over
edge when cleaning. Spillover debris and liquids can be hot and cause burns, and/or
damage to the internal operation of the grill.

Regular cleaning and care for your Evo Affi nity 30Gp cooktop will keep it looking and functioning its best.
The cook surface is designed to hold a fi ne layer of cooking oil creating a ‘seasoning’ on its surface. This
seasoning promotes a non-stick cooking surface and is easily maintained.
Caring for Evo’s cook surface is much like maintaining cast iron cookware. When the surface requires cleaning,
there are a few basic cleaning techniques to use. For quick and routine cleaning between preparations, a metal
spatula or scraper works for removing the majority of surface debris. For tougher areas or where sugars glaze
the cook surface, pour a small amount of vegetable oil on the soiled surface while the grill is warm and scrape the
debris away with a spatula. Heat the cook surface to a high temperature and allow the sticky debris to become
brittle. Once the debris is brittle, use the spatula or scraper to remove it. Afterwards wipe the cook surface with
vegetable oil again before cooking.
To condition the Evo cook surface you should use the grill cleaning kit supplied with your grill. The grill cleaning kit
contains a blue grill pad handle, grill cleaning screens, and grill grey polishing pads. Use the polishing pad after
the grill cleaning pads to achieve a smooth cooking surface for the most delicate foods and applications.
To use a grill cleaning screen: With a warm cook surface, place one gray polishing pad between the grill handle
base and the grill screen, so the grill screen makes direct contact with the cooking surface. Pour a small amount
of vegetable oil on the cook surface and scrub the surface in a circular motion. The gray polishing pad allows
excess oil to be absorbed and scours the cooking surface of carbonized debris. When fi nished scrubbing, wipe
the surface down with a paper towel or cotton terry cloth.
The stainless steel drip pan located just below the cook surface is designed to catch food debris and drippings
from the cook surface. We recommend cleaning the drip pan after your grill has cooled to prevent the possibility of
touching hot adjoining surfaces. The drip pan is easy to wipe out with soap and water using a kitchen sponge. For
added convenience, two removable stainless spill-over pans (ninth-pan size) are mounted inside the swing open
doors at right and left side of the front control panel for collecting drip pan debris and spill overs. These spillover
pans are easily washed by hand or in a dishwasher. Be sure to empty the spillover pans after every use, and at a
minimum, whenever they appear half full.
All the stainless steel components on your grill can be easily cleaned with soap and water and polished using
a stainless steel cleaner/polish. Stainless steel cleaner can be purchased from the Evo web site along with
replacement grill cleaning and polishing pads. The Evo web site address is: www.evoamerica.com.
