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, and be AGA approved and be in an accessible location when the appliance is installed and working.
Test point for checking gas pressures is located on the manifold behind the front cover. Remove knobs, and screws to access test point. Ensure 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 which could block the supply.
• Do not use pipes of a diameter smaller than that for which the appliance is designed. Refer AS/NZS 5601.1 Gas Installations for Pipe sizing tables.
• After installation the pipework should be checked for gas leaks in accordance with 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 authorised person in accordance with the supplied instructions.

• Ensure gas is turned off.
• Remove control panel.
• Remove 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 problem.

Gas Pressure Regulator

The section of the gas supply line must be sufficient to ensure the gas flow necessary for 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

Adjusting the Air for the Burners

• When the primary air is correctly adjusted, the flame does not detach with the burner when cold and there is no flashback with burner hot.
• Burners can be adjusted accordingly.
• At the completion of the installation, test the appliance for correct operation.

Advice on Service

At the completion of the installation, start the appliance and check operation – Refer ‘operating instructions’. If the appliance does not operate correctly, check the following:-

• Appliance has been installed correctly to the correct gas type;
• Gas regulator has been installed and the pressure set to the correct pressure;
• Burner has been adjusted to correct flame type.
• Ignition set correctly and battery fitted to ignition module.
• Safety device (thermocouple) is being sufficiently heated during burner start up.

If after checking the above items, the appliance does not operate correctly, contact FED for advice and nearest service agent.

If you smell gas, immediately turn off the gas supply at the burner control valve. If smell still persists, turn appliance isolation valve off and call FED for advice. If smell is still evident, leak is probably on piping, therefore contact plumber and gasfitter for advice.
