A
3
/4" IPS manual gas valve is shipped with each single
Pasta System for field installation. Batteries have a
factory installed manual gas valve for each Pasta
System. The required gas pressure for proper operation
of each Pasta System is 4" water column (WC) for natural
gas and 10” water column (WC) for Propane gas at the
burner manifold. Remove the allen head test plug on the
g
as valve and using a manometer to check pressure.
If the inlet gas pressure exceeds 7" WC for natural
gas and 11" WC for Propane, an in-line pressure
regulator is required. In-line pressure regulators are
not supplied by Keating. They are to be provided
and installed by others as directed by local codes.
NOTE: If more than one gas Pasta System is on the
same supply line, you may require a larger line. Consult
your local gas company to assure adequate volume and
pressure. Refer to serial plate for proper gas
requirements for your particular model.
ELECTRICAL
CONNECTION
The Keating Custom Pasta Gas
System is equipped with a 9'
neoprene covered, 3 wire electrical
cord with a three-pronged grounded
plug for protection against electrical
shock. This plug must be placed into a
120V properly grounded
three-pronged outlet (NEMA 5-15 or
5-20). For proper grounding
procedures see local codes or, in the
absence of local codes, the current National Electrical
Code ANSI/NFPA 70 or Canadian Electrical Code CAN
22.2 as applicable.
NOTE: The electrical wiring diagram for the Pasta
System is attached to the inside of the Pasta System
door and in Section VIII of this manual.
DO NOT CUT OR REMOVE THE GROUNDING
PRONG FROM THIS PLUG.
GAS LEAK TESTING
Prior to lighting your Pasta System:
1. Make sure all thermostats, switches and safety
valves are in the “OFF” position.
2. Turn main supply gas cock (Item 18, page 17) to
the “ON” position.
3. Have your plumber or gas company check for leaks
with a soap solution or sniffer. (NEVER check with
an open flame)
4. Have your plumber or gas comp
any representative
light the const
ant pilot. (Not necessary if your Past
a
System has an optional spark ignitor.)
N
OTE: It is estimated that half of all service calls
made on Keating Pasta Gas Systems result from an
inadequate gas supply. During installation, have a gas
company representative make certain that the Pasta
System is receiving adequate gas pressure and
volume.
PROPANE GAS MAY EVENTUALLY LOSE ITS ODOR
AND PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN TO
ASSURE THAT IT IS NOT PRESENT EVEN THOUGH
YOU DO NOT DETECT AN ODOR. IF THERE IS ANY
DOUBT, YOU SHOULD CALL YOUR LOCAL
PROPANE GAS SUPPLIER FOR ASSISTANCE.
CHECK GAS SUPPLY
PRESSURE
Special attention should be given to the supply pressure
and gas flow pressure at the supply connection to the
Pasta System. The nominal gas should be 4" WC for
natural gas and 10" WC for propane gas.
If the supply pressure is lower or higher than the rated
(nominal) pressure, then the reason should be
investigated and the gas supplier contacted.
If the supply is lower than 2
1
/2" WC or higher than 6" WC
for natural gas or lower then 9” WC or higher than 12" WC
for propane gas, then the Pasta System should be shut
down and a service company or supplier notified. No
adjustments should be made and the Pasta System
should not be operated.
1. Turn off main gas supply valve.
2. Remove pressure measuring stud screw located at
the “out-flow” (closest to gas burner) of the gas
valve and attach a manometer.
3. Remove cover screw from the gas value pressure
adjustment valve.
4. Open main gas supply valve and start Pasta
System according to instructions with the
thermostat set at 190°F(87.8°C).
5.
Once the Pasta System is in operation, adjust
pressure valve to 4" WC for natural gas and 10” WC
for propane gas.
6. Turn Pasta System off, close main gas supply
valve, remove manometer and tighten cover screw
into pressure measuring stud.
SPECIAL
NOTICES
The Past
a System should be operated only in an area that
has good air circulation.
The Pasta System must be installed under an electrically
powered ventilating hood.
The operator should be properly trained to the functioning
of the Past
a System.
This instruction manual should be supplied the the operator.
