HANAU™TOUCH-O-MATIC®

BUNSEN BURNER

Read all instructions before using the Touch-O-Matic®.

Save these instructions for future reference.

The Touch-O-Matic®bunsen burner is a gas burner. The

burner can operate on four types of gas: butane, propane,

natural gas or mixed gas, depending on the nozzle installed in

the Touch-O-Matic®bunsen burner. The Touch-O-Matic®can

be used for a wide variety of lab applications. The pilot light

makes it convenient for intermittent use.

Important Safety Information

WARNING

DO NOT USE AROUND FLAMMABLE MATERIALS. Misuse

of the burner can cause an explosion or ﬁre and result in

burns and property damage.

DO NOT USE FUEL OTHER THAN THE ONE SPECIFIED

ON THE LABEL AND NOZZLE. Use with an improper fuel

may cause dangerous operation. See the “Gas Conversion”

section for operation with other gases.

DO NOT USE THE BURNER WITH ACETYLENE.

CONNECT THE BURNER TO THE GAS SUPPLY WITH A

HOSE APPROVED FOR THE GAS USED AND A SHUTOFF

FOR THE GAS. Verify the ON-OFF Platform is in the inter-

mittent (OFF) position before turning on the gas supply to the burner.

USE A GAS PRESSURE REGULATOR WHEN USING THE BURNER FOR PROPANE

OR BUTANE. Pressure regulators, not supplied with the burner, must be connected

between the gas supply and the burner. Without the regulator, the ﬂame size cannot

be controlled.

DO NOT LEAVE THE BURNER ON WHILE IT IS UNATTENDED. This includes the

Pilot Light. If the Pilot Light or ﬂame goes out, gas will accumulate and may create an

explosion hazard.

KEEP ALERT FOR THE SMELL OF GAS WHEN THE BURNER IS USED. Do not oper-

ate the burner if parts are missing or the unit has been damaged. If Touch-O-Matic®

is dropped, check it carefully for cracks or other damage. Be alert for any improper

operation. Return the unit to Whip Mix for examination and repair if any problem is

encountered.

DO NOT USE THE NEEDLE VALVE AS AN ON/OFF VALVE. Turn the burner off by

shutting off the gas supply valve. The Needle Valve does not control gas to the Pilot

Light.

DO NOT TAMPER WITH SCREWS (4) LOCATED INSIDE VALVE HOUSING.

IF PROPANE IS USED, DO NOT STORE PROPANE TANKS INDOORS.

WARNING

1. Installation

Securely attach an approved

gas hose (not supplied)

from the gas cock of your

fuel source to the Gas Hose

Intake Connector -. Slip

the Pilot Light Shield 1on

to protect the Pilot Light 2

ﬂame from accidentally being

blown out by air movement.

2.Pilot Light

Adjustment

Turn on the gas supply and

light the Pilot Light 2with a

match or lighter. NOTE: When

lighting the Pilot Light, it may

be necessary to allow gas to

ﬂow for a few seconds before

ignition occurs. Using a small

slotted screwdriver, turn the

Pilot Flame Adjustment Screw

4to increase or decrease

the height of the Pilot Light

ﬂame. Adjust the height of the ﬂame to be low, yet functional and not likely to be blown

out. Unless the Pilot ﬂame is used for the optional Waxing Cup tand Loop Heat

Conductor y(see Figure 3), a 1/4” (6 mm) ﬂame is typically used.

When using the Waxing Cup t, it may be necessary to set the Pilot Light 2ﬂame

higher to keep the wax in the wax cup soft or in a liquid state. See the Waxing Cup and

Loop Heat Conductor section for more information.

3.To Adjust The Air-Gas Mixture

Light the Pilot Light 2as directed above, then depress the ON-OFF Platform 9and

turn the platform clockwise, or counterclockwise, slightly so it remains in the down

(ON) position. This permits the burner to operate with a continuous ﬂame. Adjust

the volume of the gas and the height of the ﬂame by opening or closing the Gas

Adjustment Thumbscrew 8. Turn the Air-Intake Adjustment quntil a bright blue ﬂame

with a blue inner cone is obtained. Readjust the fuel and air, if desired.

4.Operation

Turn on the gas and light the Pilot Light 2and adjust the air-gas mixture as directed

above. Operate with an intermittent or continuous ﬂame as directed below.

Intermittent Flame

Locate the small dot, Intermittent/Continuous Flame Indicator 0, on the ON-OFF

Platform 9. When this is aligned with the Gas Hose Intake Connector -, the burner

is ready for intermittent operation. Depressing the platform releases gas to the main

burner where it is ignited by the Pilot Light 2ﬂame. Removing pressure from the

platform shuts off the supply of gas to the main burner.

Continuous Flame

Depress the ON-OFF Platform 9and turn it slightly clockwise, or counter-clockwise,

until it locks and remains in the down position. The ﬂame will burn continuously

until the platform is returned to its original OFF (up or intermittent) position with the

Intermittent/Continuous Flame Indicator 0oriented toward the Gas Hose Intake

Connector -. Turn the ON-OFF Platform back to the intermittent (OFF) position before

turning off the gas.

To remove wax drippings, remove the Screw for Detaching the Burner Assembly 6

from the Valve Housing 7. Detach the Burner Assembly 5from the Valve Housing,

and place the Burner Assembly in boiling water. DO NOT place the Valve Housing in

water. The “O” Ring (14) does not have to be removed, but be careful not to lose it. Use

care to not bend the Pilot Inlet Tube.

5.Care and Cleaning

To remove wax

drippings, remove

the Screw for

Detaching the

Burner Assembly

6from the Valve

Housing 7.

Detach the Burner

Assembly 5from

the Valve Housing,

and place the

Burner Assembly

in boiling water.

DO NOT place the

Valve Housing in

water. The “O” Ring

wdoes not have to be removed, but be careful not to lose it. Use care to not bend the

Pilot Inlet Tube e. Before reattaching the Burner Assembly, blow out all water from the

Pilot Inlet Tube, Air-Intake Adjustment q, Burner Tube rand the Pilot Light 2. Make

sure that the “O” Ring for the Pilot Inlet Tube is replaced if it was removed.

Figure 2: Disassembly for Cleaning

BOIL

CAUTION: DO NOT submerge the Valve Housing 7in water. Water will prevent

gas from freely passing through the housing into the Burner Assembly 5and

the ﬂame may be erratic or extinguished and release gas into the room. Keep the

oriﬁce of the Gas Nozzle =open and free of wax. If necessary, remove the Gas

Nozzle with 9/16” wrench, then clean it with hot water.

6.If Gas Odor Is Detected

See Figure 2 on previous page. An unlit Pilot Light 2can allow gas to accumulate in

the room when the unit is left with the gas supply turned on. If the Pilot Light fails to

stay lit, adjust it to a larger ﬂame, or eliminate the draft blowing it out.

Leakage will result if the “O” Ring wis missing. Check to verify the “O” Ring is

installed if the leak occurs following cleaning or disassembly for other reasons.

If gas leakage is noted at the Gas Adjustment Thumbscrew 8or at the Gas Nozzle =,

gently tighten the parts with a wrench to snugly seal them against the body of the Valve

Housing 7. Do not over tighten, this may cause damage to the housing itself.

If leakage continues after securely tightening the Gas Nozzle =, or if the burner ﬂame

fails to shut off automatically when ON-OFF Platform 9is released, return the Touch-

O-Matic®bunsen burner to Whip Mix for repair.

7. Use of Waxing Cup and

Loop Heat Conductor

The Waxing Cup tand the Loop Heat

Conductor yare optional accessories.

Remove the Pilot Shield 1and connect

the small loop built into the outer

circumference of the Waxing Cup over

the Post for the Waxing Cup 3. The

Loop Heat Conductor is placed into the

Waxing Cup, circular side down, and

the Loop Heat Conductor Stem uis

positioned above the Pilot Light, or main

burner, ﬂame to transfer heat down into

the wax cup for softening and keeping

wax at a desired consistency. Replace

the Pilot Shield after attaching the

Waxing Cup.

8.Gas Conversion

Should you desire to operate your Touch-O-Matic®bunsen burner on a gas source

other than the one identiﬁed on the body of the Touch-O-Matic®burner and the

Gas Nozzle =, order and install a replacement nozzle. The Gas Nozzles available

Figure 3: Use of Waxing Cup

and Loop Heat Conductor

are: “BUT” for Butane Gas, Part No. 002835-000; “PRO” for Propane Gas, Part No.

002836-000; “NAT” for Natural Gas, Part No. 002837-000; and “MIX” for Mixed Gas,

Part No. 002838-000.

WARNING: USE THE TOUCH-O-MATIC®ONLY WITH THE FUEL TYPE STAMPED

ONTO THE GAS NOZZLE AND SPECIFIED ON THE LABEL. DO NOT USE

ACETYLENE. WITH PROPANE OR BUTANE, USE A PRESSURE REGULATOR.

9.Replacing the Gas Nozzle

Turn the gas supply off and disconnect

the burner from the gas line. Turn

the Gas Adjustment Thumbscrew 8

counterclockwise to its stop. This backs

the needle valve away from the oriﬁce of

the Gas Nozzle =and helps assure that

it will not be damaged while another gas

nozzle is installed. Use care to not bump

the exposed tip of the needle.

Remove the Screw for Detaching the

Burner Assembly 6and separate the

Burner Assembly 5and the Valve

Housing7. Use a 9/16” wrench to unscrew the Gas Nozzle =and replace the old Gas

Nozzle with the new Gas Nozzle. (Be sure to use pipe dope or sealing compound when

re-installing Gas Nozzle.) Reattach the Burner Assembly to the Valve Housing. Go

back to point 3 to adjust the air-gas mixture and point 6 if gas odor is detected.

WARNING: Make certain the “O” Ring won the Pilot Inlet eis in place,

otherwise the burner will leak gas.

Place a new label that identiﬁes the type of gas to be used with the burner over the

original label on the burner.
