An arrow on the base of the regulator indicates the direction of gas flow when the inlet and outlet of the regulator is orientated correctly. When the regulator has been fitted check for leaks from the connections with soapy water.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE INSTALLER

Gas Connection
This appliance is supplied for use with Natural Gas. However, it can be converted for use with LPG. Refer to LP conversion chapter

Supply pipe sizing
The total hourly gas consumption for the appliance is shown on the data label. The required supply pressure (i.e. at inlet to appliance regulator) for each gas type is shown on the data label, and given in page 16 “TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTIC TABLES”. Use this information in conjunction with the length of run, number of elbows, tees and bends, the available service pressure and the supply requirements of other installed appliances to determine a suitable pipe size. For assistance in this matter refer to the appropriate section of the Installation Code AS5601.
An AGA certified class B or D flexible connection may be used to connect the cooktop in accordance with the AS5601 and in particular section 4.8.
Where a hose assembly is used and the cooktopis in the installed position, the hose assembly shall be suitable for connection to a fixed consumer piping outlet located at a point 800 – 850mm above the floor and in the region outside the width of the appliance to a distance of 250mm. The point of connection to consumer piping must be accessible with appliance installed.

Elbow positioning
It is possible to reposition the elbow if required by loosening the locking nut and elbow by using two spanners. Re-tighten the entire assembly after the elbow has been repositioned. When fitting elbow to appliance, ensure that the sealing washer is fitted.

Regulator
An appliance regulator is provided. The regulator must be positioned so that the pressure test nipple is accessible when the appliance is installed. Connect the gas supply to the ½” B.S.P. internal thread inlet of the regulator. Refer page 15 for connection point position.

Assembly of Regulator
The assembly of the regulator to the cooktop manifold is achieved via the elbow union and sealing washer supplied.
The ½” parallel thread connects to the manifold, and the sealing washer is placed between the manifold end and the flat face on the elbow. The ½” tapered thread connects to the outlet of the regulator, and is sealed on the thread using approved thread sealing tape or approved thread sealing compound.
The inlet of the regulator is a ½” parallel thread and is connected to consumer piping or hose assembly. Regulators are supplied pre-adjusted and configured by the component maker for use with Natural Gas.
The appliance installer is not required to make an adjustment to obtain the correct outlet pressure setting.
An arrow on the base of the regulator indicates the direction of gas flow when the inlet and outlet of the regulator is orientated correctly. When the regulator has been fitted check for leaks from the connections with soapy water.

Checking the gas supply

Check the manometer zero point is correct.
Connect the manometer to the cooktop pressure point. This is located on the regulator.
Turn on the gas supply and electricity and try to ignite the gas. NOTE! lt will take additional time to light the gas for the first time as air needs to be purged from the pipes.
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 of 1.00kPa by more than ± 0.20kPa

If the regulator appears to not perform 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 fhe checks whilst measuring both the inlet and outlet pressure to determine if the inlet pressure is in the range 1.13 – 5kPa.
Check that the regulafor 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 in a satisfactory manner it should be replaced.
WARNING: THE BURNER FLAME MUST BE ADJUSTED BY THE INSTALLER. FAULTY INSTALLATION IS NOT COVERED BY THE MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE INSTALLER

Replacing the injectors
If the equipment is adjusted for a type of gas that is different from the one available, it is necessary to replace the burner injectors.
The choice of the injectors to replace must be made according to the table of the “technical characteristics” on page 16.
Act as follows:

remove the racks and burners.
by means of a straight spanner L, unscrew the injectors U (fig.7 page 12) and substitute it with the corresponding one.
tighten the injectors strongly.
After changing the injectors, it is necessary to eliminate residual natural gas in the system.

To do this you have to turn to the maximum position then press the knob of each burner and wait few seconds.

Adjusting the burners
The lowest flame point must always be properly adjusted and the flame must remain on even if there is an abrupt shift from the maximum to the minimum position.
If this is not so, it is necessary to adjust the lowest flame point as follows:

start the burner up
turn the tap up to the minimum position (small flame)
remove the knob from the tap rod
introduce a flat-tip screwdriver in the hole F of the tap (fig.8 page12) and turn the by-pass screw up to a proper adjustment of the lowest flame point. As regards U-LPG gas burners, the by-pass screw must be tightened completely.
