LPG CONVERSION  GAS COOKTOP MODELS

• A conversion kit is included with the product for Universal LPG usage. The conversion kit contains 5 or 7 injectors (refer to LPG conversion table) and 1 LPG sticker.
• Please follow the procedure below if a conversion to suit UNIVERSAL LPG is required:

1. Remove the hotplate trivets, burner caps, and burner crowns to access the hotplate injectors. Replace the factory-fitted injectors with the appropriate injectors, as supplied. Refer to the injector orifice table for injector sizes. The injector size is stamped on the side of the injector.
2. Unscrew the top hat nut from the regulator. The top hat nut and control pressure spring assembly will disengage as an assembly.
3. Unscrew the threaded pin from a top hat.
4. Upturn the threaded pin, so the spring is free, and screw the pin back into the top hat until firm.
5. Refit the top hat nut assembly to the regulator ensuring that it is fully screwed down. The regulator is now set for connection to LPG.
6. Turn on the gas supply and at each new connection check for leaks using soapy water. Each hotplate valve should be turned on, one at a time, and the injector hole blanked off for several seconds.
7. The operation of the regulator can be confirmed by connecting a manometer to the pressure test point located on the side of the regulator body adjacent to the outlet.
   • With the appliance operating check the outlet pressure:
   • when all burners of the appliance are operating at maximum,
   • when the smallest burner of the appliance is operating at a minimum.
   • Under these conditions, the outlet pressure should not vary from the nominal outlet pressure of 2.60kPa by more than ±0.52kPa.
8. If the regulator appears to not be performing satisfactorily then check the following points:
   • If the outlet pressure is consistently too low then the inlet pressure may be too low and adjustment of an upstream regulator may be needed, or an upstream regulator or valve with insufficient flow capacity may be present in the gas supply line.
   • If this is suspected then it may be necessary to repeat the checks whilst measuring both the inlet and outlet pressure to determine if the inlet pressure is in the range 2.75 – 7.00kPa.
   • Check that the insert has been fitted correctly.
   • Check that the turret screw is fully screwed down.
   • Check that the regulator has been fitted to the gas supply line in the correct orientation, the arrow on the base of the body indicates the direction of gas flow.
   • Once these checks have been completed, if the regulator still fails to perform adequately it should be replaced.
9. One by one, turn the knobs to a minimum and screw in the bypass screw (accessible when the knob is removed) until a small stable flame results. Turn the knob to maximum and then back to minimum to ensure that the correct minimum flame is maintained.
10. Attach the LPG sticker to the cooker, near the gas supply inlet. Cover the Natural Gas label that is factory-fitted.

NOTE: You MUST test the cooker after installation before you hand it over to the customer. You MUST have a manometer and a connecting tube.

TESTING THE OPERATION OF THE GAS COOKER

Checking gas supply

1. Check the manometer zero point is correct.
2. Connect the manometer to the cooker pressure test point. This is located on the regulator or LPG inlet fitting.
3. Turn on the gas supply and the electricity and try to ignite the gas.
   • NOTE: It will take additional time to light the gas for the first time as air needs to be purged from the pipes.
4. Check the operating pressure for the particular gas type.

Checking the function of the regulator

• With the appliance operating check the outlet pressure
• when all burners of the appliance are operating at maximum,
• when the smallest burner of the appliance is operating at minimum.
• Under these conditions, the outlet pressure should not vary from the nominal outlet pressure by more than ±20% of the nominal outlet pressure (ie ±0.20kPa for Natural Gas).
• If the regulator appears to not be performing satisfactorily then check the following points.

1. If the outlet pressure is consistently too low then the inlet pressure may be too low and adjustment of an upstream regulator may be needed, or an upstream regulator or valve with insufficient flow capacity may be present in the gas supply line. If this is suspected then it may be necessary to repeat the checks whilst measuring both the inlet and outlet pressure to determine if the inlet pressure is in the range of 1.13 – 5kPa.
2. Check that the regulator has been fitted to the gas supply line in the correct orientation, the arrow on the base of the body indicates the direction of gas flow.

Once these checks have been completed, if the regulator still fails to perform adequately it should be replaced.

Testing the cooker features

• Observe the flame appearance on each burner. If it is much smaller or larger than expected, then the injector size needs checking.
• NOTE: When the flame is unsatisfactory, then refer to the Electrolux Technical Publications and correct the fault, if possible.
• When the maximum flame appearance is correct, then check the turn-down setting on each burner. If the settings appear to be incorrect, proceed as follows:

1. Adjust the bypass screw mounted on the body of each hotplate control cock. This is accessible when the control knob and the control panel are removed.
2. Check the ignition on all burners both separately and in combination.
3. Check the operation of the electrical components, if applicable.
4. If you are satisfied that the cooker is operating correctly, then turn it off and show the customer how to use it. Make sure you ask the customer to operate the clock and controls.

• NOTE: If the cooker cannot be adjusted to perform correctly, then inform the customer of the problem and put a warning notice on the cooker.
• If the problem is dangerous, then disconnect the cooker.
• If there is a fault, then the customer should be advised to contact the manufacturer’s local service organization or the retailer.
