Conversion from Natural Gas to LPG
IMPORTANT
The replacement/conversion of the gas hob should only
be undertaken by a competent person.
It is important to note that this model is designed for use
with natural gas but can be converted for use with butane
or propane gas providing the correct injectors are fitted
and the gas rate is adjusted to suit.
Method
• Ensure that the gas taps are in the 'OFF' position
• Isolate the hob from the electrical supply
• Remove all pan supports, burner caps, rings, crowns
and control knobs.
• With the aid of a 7mm box spanner the burner injectors
can then be unscrewed and replaced by the
appropriate LPG injectors.
To adjust the gas rate
With the aid of a thin bladed screwdriver completely
tighten down the by pass adjustment screw, which is
located down the centre of the gas tap control shaft.
Upon completion stick the replacement rating plate on
the under side of the hob.
Commissioning
When the hob has been fully installed it will be necessary
to check the minimum flame setting. To do this, follow
the procedure below.
- Turn the gas tap to the MAX position and ignite.
- Set the gas tap to the MIN flame position then turn
the control knob from MIN to MAX several times. If
the flame is unstable or is extinguished follow the
procedure below.
)
Procedure:
- Re-ignite the burner and set to MIN.
- Remove the control knob and use a thin bladed
screwdriver to turn the adjustment screw until the
flame is steady and does not extinguish, when the
knob is turned from MIN to MAX.
- The adjustment screw may be located at the centre
of the gas tap control shaft or on the gas tap body,
left of the control shaft or below (see diagram).
