PANEL REAR 8V U155 PILOT I

Panels of all types are widely used in the design of restaurant equipment. A panel is usually part of the housing, or an access covering made of stainless steel, painted aluminum, or molded plastic and is generally water resistant and easily cleaned.  Panels may have fin type of openings (louvers) to allow air to flow across interior components.  Panels may also be "control panels" having operating buttons, displays, dials or switches.

A pilot light is a small gas flame, usually natural gas or liquefied petroleum gas, which serves as an ignition source for a more powerful gas burner. In a pilot assembly, there is thermocouple sitting in the pilot light's flame. The electricity that is created from the flame contacting the thermocouple wire runs to a small electromagnetic valve and holds it open. If the pilot light blows out, the thermocouple quickly cools off. It stops generating electricity and the valve closes.
