operation

After installation, test the appliance and ensure that it 

operates correctly before handing it over to the customer. The 

following procedure is recommended:
1.   Turn on the gas and electricity supply and attempt ignition 

on all burners, both separately and in combination. (For 

correct procedure, refer to page 4). Note that additional 

time needs to be allowed for the initial lighting as air has 

to be purged from the pipes.

2.   Observe the flame appearance on each burner. (Figure 

10) If it is much larger or much smaller than expected, the 

injector size and supply pressure require checking. Where 

a flame is unsatisfactory, refer to the Troubleshooting 

Guide (Page 6) to correct the fault. If the Troubleshooting 

Guide does not solve the problem, call the Service 

Centre.

3.   When all the foregoing is satisfactory, check the turndown 

(minimum or low) setting on each burner, as this may need 

adjustment. Valves have a by pass controlling screw, 

which may be accessed by removing the knob. This 

screw will be located on a particular area of the valve. 

(Refer figure 11). Normally, this will have been correctly 

set at the factory for use on NG (Natural Gas) and should 

not require adjustment. 

If the appliance has been converted to LPG, then the 

bypass screw will have to be screwed in until a small, 

stable flame results.

   Please ensure the supply pressure has been checked 

PRIOR to any adjustment.

4.   If the appliance cannot be adjusted to perform safely, 

inform the customer of the problem and affix an 

appropriate warning notice to the appliance. If the 

fault appears to be dangerous the appliance should be 

disconnected. If a minor fault exists, the customer may 

wish to use the appliance while awaiting service.

   If a fault cannot be fixed, please call the Service Centre.
5.   The customer should be advised that, in the event  

of a fault, the local Service Organisation or the retailer 

from whom the appliance was purchased should be 

contacted.

6.   When satisfied that the unit is operating correctly, turn off  

and instruct the customer on correct operation as outlined  

in this booklet. Ask the customer to operate the controls  

to ensure that the correct procedure is understood.
