accessible area next to the appliance.
This appliance is suitable for Natural Gas and Uni-
versal LPG; ensure that the available gas supply
matches the Data Label.
When converting from Natural Gas to Universal
LPG ensure that the NG regulator is removed and
replaced with the Test Point Assembly. An AGA Ap-
proved gas regulator suitable for a supply pressure
of 2.75kPa should be part of the gas tank supply
and the test point pressure should be adjusted to
2.75kPa.

Replacing the nozzles

If the equipment is adjusted for a type of gas that is
different from the one available, it is necessary to
replace the burner nozzles.
The choice of the nozzles to replace must be

made according to the table of the “technical
characteristics” as enclosed.
Act as follows:

remove the racks and burners.
by means of a straight spanner L, unscrew
the nozzle U (fig. 8) and substitute it with the
corresponding one.
tighten the nozzle strongly.

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 C in the hole F of
the tap (fig. 9) 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.

MAINTENANCE

Maintenance Schedule
