GAS CONNECTION
Checking the gas supply
1. Check the manometer zero point is correct.
2. Connect the manometer to the cooktop pressure point.
This is located on the regulator.
3. Turn on the gas supply and electricity and try to ignite
the gas.
TIPS & INFORMATION
It will take additional time to light the gas for the first time
as air needs to be purged from the pipes.
4. With the appliance operating check the outlet pressure
• when all burners of the appliance are operating
at maximum,
• when the smallest burner of the appliance
is operating at minimum.
Under these conditions the outlet pressure should not vary
from the nominal outlet pressure of 1.00kPa by more than
+/– 0.20kPa.
If the regulator appears to not be performing satisfactorily,
then check the following points.
1. If the outlet pressure is consistently too low then the inlet
pressure may be too low and adjustment of an upstream
regulator may be needed, or an upstream regulator or
valve with insufficient flow capacity may be present in
the gas supply line. If this is suspected then it may be
necessary to repeat the checks whilst
measuring both the inlet and outlet pressure to determine
if the inlet pressure is in the range 1.13 – 5kPa.
2. Check that the regulator has been fitted to the gas supply
line in the correct orientation, the arrow on the base of
the body indicates the direction of gas flow.
Once these checks have been completed, if the regulator
still fails to perform in a satisfactory manner
it should be replaced.
