TIPS & INFORMATION

 tips & information

Refer to page 9 if you have been supplied with a DONG 

YANG regulator.

This appliance is supplied set up for Natural Gas usage. A 

conversion kit is included with the product for Universal LPG 

usage. The conversion kit contains the appropriate injectors 

and 1 LPG sticker.
Please follow the procedure below if a conversion to suit 

UNIVERSAL LPG is required:
1.  Remove the hotplate trivets, burner caps and burner crowns 

to access the hotplate injectors. Replace the factory fitted 

injectors with the appropriate injectors, as supplied. Refer 

to injector orifice table for injector sizes. The injector size is 

stamped on the side of the injector.

2.  Unscrew the top hat nut from the regulator. The top hat nut 

and control pressure spring assembly will disengage as an 

assembly.

3.  Unscrew the threaded pin from top hat.
4.  Upturn threaded pin, so spring is free and screw pin back 

into the top hat until firm.

5.  Refit the top hat nut assembly to the regulator ensuring 

that it is fully screwed down. The regulator is now set for 

connection to LPG.

6.  Turn on the gas supply and at each new connection check 

for leaks using soapy water. Each hotplate valve should be 

turned on, one at a time, and the injector hole blanked off 

for several seconds.

7.  The operation of the regulator can be confirmed by 

connecting a manometer to the pressure test point located 

on the side of the regulator body adjacent to the outlet. 

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 2.60kPa by more than 

±0.52kPa.

8.  If the regulator appears to not be performing satisfactorily 

then check the following points:
•   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 

2.75 – 7.00kPa.

•   Check that the insert has been fitted correctly.
•   Check that the turret screw is fully screwed down.
•   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.

9.  One by one, turn the knobs to minimum and screw in the 

bypass screw (accessible when the knob is removed) until 

a small stable flame results. Turn the knob to maximum and 

then back to minimum to ensure that the correct minimum 

flame is maintained.

10.Attach the LPG sticker to the cooker, near the gas supply 

inlet. Cover the Natural Gas label that is  

factory fitted.
