Testing the Operation of the Cooker
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.
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 behind the kick panel under the storage drawer.
3. Turn on the gas supply and the electricity (if applicable) 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 and adjust the regulator to the appropriate setting for the particular gas type
(see table on page 25).
NOTE: For LPG cookers the regulator may be remote from the cooker.
Natural gas
1. Turn on smallest burner to minimum.
2. Adjust screw fully in and read pressure.
3. If reading is below 1.13 kPa, then supply pressure is not enough.
If supply pressure is between 1.13 kPa and 1.20 kPa, then follow these instructions:
1. Turn the adjusting screw outward until the pressure just begins to drop. Carefully adjust to a pressure of
1.10kPa.
NOTE: The screw may unwind fully before the pressure drops. If this happens, then remove the screw and
let the pressure fall. Then reinsert the screw and finish the adjustment.
2. Turn the control for the small burner slightly away from the minimum until the pressure drops and then
slowly turn back to minimum.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until the pressure always returns to 1.10 kPa.
4. Turn all burners to maximum and read the pressure. If it is below 0.82 kPa, then repeat steps 1 to 4.
5. Lock the nut.
