1.
Blue Seal Salamanders do not require an electrical connection, as they function totally on the gas supply only.
2.
It is essential that the gas supply is correct for the Salamander to be installed and that adequate supply pressure and volume
are available. The following checks should therefore be made before installation:-
a.
Gas Type
the appliance has been supplied for, is
shown on a coloured stickers located above the gas
connection and next to the rating plate. Check that
this is correct for the gas supply the appliance is
being installed for. The gas conversion procedure
is detailed in this manual.
b.
Supply Pressure
required for this appliance is
shown in the 'Specifications' section of this manual.
Check the gas supply to ensure adequate supply
pressure exists.
c.
Input Rate
of this appliance is stated on the
Rating Plate and in the 'Specifications' section of
this manual. The input rate should be checked
against the available supply line capacity.
Particular note should be taken if the salamander is being added to an existing installation.
NOTE:
It is important that adequately sized piping runs directly to the connection joint on the appliance with as few tees
and elbows as possible to give maximum supply volume.
3.
Fit the gas regulator supplied, into the gas supply line as close to the appliance as possible.
The regulator connections are
1
/
2
" BSP female.
The connection to the appliance is
1
/
2
" BSP male.
(Refer to the the 'Specifications' section for the gas supply location dimensions).
NOTE:

every gas line connection, unless compression fittings are used.
7.
Check all gas connections for leakages using soapy water or other gas detecting equipment.
8.
Check gas operating pressure is as shown in 'Specifications' section.
9.
Adjust the regulator spring adjusting nut to set the gas operating pressure at the correct value shown in the 'Specifications'
section.
(From Serial No 401965 onwards).
NOTE:
The operating pressure to be measured at the manifold test point and with both burners operating at the 'High
Flame' setting.
10. Verify the operating pressure remains correct (Re-adjust the regulator if required).
11. Check gas supply pressure is as shown in
Specifications
section,
Gas Supply Requirements
table.
12. Light Main Burners. Refer to
Operation
section,
Lighting Main Burners
.
13. Verify supply pressure is still correct.
NOTE:
Insufficient gas supply line capacity, indicated by operating pressure drop during maximum gas supply demand, is
NOT ACCEPTABLE and may invalidate manufacturers warranty for this appliance.
