Use

• During operation, some parts of the appliance may be very hot! Never touch any hot parts without gloves on.
• Our appliances offer high performance and efficiency. To reduce consumption of gas, electricity, or water, do not use appliances when empty or in conditions that compromise their optimal efficiency (e.g. with doors or lids open, etc.).
• When possible, preheat only before use.

Cleaning

• In order to reduce the emission of pollutants into the environment, clean the appliance (externally and when necessary internally) with products that are more than 90% biodegradable.

Installation

Installation must be carried out only by authorized, licensed installers in accordance with these instructions, local gas fitting regulations, local building codes, water supply regulations, electrical wiring regulations, the Gas Installation Code AS/NZS 5601.1, and any other relevant statutory regulations.

Unpacking

Remove the packing

• Carefully remove the protective film from metal surfaces.
• Remove any traces of glue using a suitable solvent.

Importantly:

• Immediately check for any caused during transport.
• Inspect the packs before and after unloading.
• The forwarder is responsible for the safety of the goods during transport and delivery. Notify the forwarder in the event of apparent or hidden damage. Specify any damage or shortages on the dispatch note.
• Keep all documentation contained in the packing.
• PLEASE notify the supplier of any damages

Positioning

• The installation diagrams give the overall dimensions of the appliances and the positions of connections (gas, electricity, and water)
• Appliances can be installed separately or in combination with other appliances in the same range.
• Leave at least 150mm between the appliance and the side or rear walls.
• When positioned under a grease filter, the appliance must have at least 1000 mm between the top of the appliance and the grease filter
• Maintain an adequate distance between the appliance and any combustible walls.
• Leave an adequate distance between the appliance and any side walls to allow subsequent servicing or maintenance operations.
• Suitably insulate any surfaces that are less than the specified distances from the appliance.

Securing To the Floor or Bench

• To avoid accidental tipping of certain modules, fix them to the floor or bench surface. This must be done in situations where hose assemblies are used for gas connection.

Exhaust

• The appliance must be installed under a ventilation exhaust system complying with the local building regulations and AS/NZS 5601.1 – Gas Installation code.
• Place the appliance under the extractor hood to ensure the removal of fumes and steam produced by cooking.
• The correct clearance between the appliance outlet and the grease filter must comply with the current standards and be not less than 600 mm.
• Where there is no exhaust hood, contact the local authority for information and guidance on installation.

Connections

• Refer to appliance data plate for information relating to gas consumption, pressures, etc. 20mm BSP located at rear 150mm from top, 50mm in from side, or optional under appliance connection.
• Check the appliance connections to ensure the unused inlet is capped off and gas-tight.
• An appliance gas pressure regulator must be fitted for Natural gas and ULPG appliances. Refer AS4563 – Commercial Gas Catering Equipment (implementation Jan 2005)
• Fit an appliance isolating valve before the inlet. This must be a ¼ turn type, be AGA approved, and be in an accessible location when the appliance is installed and working.
• The test point for checking gas pressures is located on the manifold behind the front cover. Remove knobs, and screws to access the test point. Ensure the test point is resealed and leak-tested after use.

Important!

• For all gas appliances, the regulator supplied with the appliance must be fitted between the gas valve and the appliance inlet.
• Clean the pipes to remove any dust, dirt, or foreign matter that could block the supply.
• Do not use pipes of a diameter smaller than that for which the appliance is designed. Refer to AS/NZS 5601.1 Gas Installations for Pipe sizing tables.
• After installation, the pipework should be checked for gas leaks by standard operations. Use soapy water to check connections for leaks.
• Make certain the appliance is arranged for the type of gas to be used. Otherwise, the appliance will have to be converted to the applicable gas type.
• If not certain contact local gas supplier for confirmation of gas type. Any conversion to be carried out must be undertaken by an authorized person according to the supplied instructions.
• Use of Flexible Hoses: Where it is intended to connect the appliance to the gas supply using a flexible, it is important to use the correct type of assembly for the application. Refer to AS5601 for hose connection requirements.
• The hose assembly must comply with AS/NZS1869 – Class B and be kept as short as possible. A chain must be fitted to restrict the appliance movement to no more than 80% of the hose length. Ensure the hose is adequate for appliance gas consumption.

Supply Pressure Check

• Make sure the appliance is suitable for the type of gas available, according to that given on the data plate.
• The supply pressure must be measured with the appliance operating, using a manometer (min 0.1kPa)
• Ensure the gas is turned off.
• Remove the control panel.
• Remove the test point screw from the pressure test point and connect the manometer.
• Turn the gas on slowly, light the applicable burners, and compare the value read on the manometer with that given on the data plate.
• If the manometer gives a pressure outside the range adjust the gas regulator supplying the appliance. If the pressure cannot be adjusted to the correct value check the installation to determine the problem.

Gas Pressure Regulator

• The section of the gas supply line must be sufficient to ensure the gas flow necessary for the full operation of all of the appliances connected to the piping.
• The gas pressure regulator will ensure constant outlet pressure over varying inlet pressures. When the regulator is fitted, it must be adjusted to the correct pressure when the burners are operating.

Test point pressures are:

• 1.0kPa for Natural Gas
• 2.65kPa for ULP GAS

Adjusting the Air for the Burners

• When the primary air is correctly adjusted, the flame does not detach from the burner when cold and there is no flashback when with burner is hot. Burners can be adjusted accordingly.
• The appliance has been installed correctly to the correct gas type;
• The gas regulator has been installed and the pressure set to the correct pressure;
• The burner has been adjusted to the correct flame type.
• The ignition is set correctly and the battery is fitted to the ignition module.
• The safety device (thermocouple) is sufficiently heated during burner start-up.
• If after checking the above items, the appliance does not operate correctly, contact FED for advice and the nearest service agent.
• If you smell gas, immediately turn off the gas supply at the burner control valve. If the smell persists, turn the appliance isolation valve off and call FED for advice.
• If the smell is still evident, the leak is probably on the piping, therefore contact the plumber and gasfitter for advice.
• Where the burner flames begin to burn yellow, the appliance requires cleaning. Remove and clean burners, then thoroughly dry before restarting burners.
