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 fitted on the R/H side panel
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.

breakdown action of LPG must be used on every gas line connection, unless compression fittings
are used.

DO NOT USE A NAKED FLAME TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKAGES.
5. Check all gas connections for leakages using soapy water or other gas detecting equipment.
6. Check that the gas operating pressure is as shown in ‘Specifications’ section.
NOTE:
The burner operating pressure is to be measured at the manifold test point with
both burners operating at full setting. The operating pressure is ex-factory set and
not to be adjusted, apart from when converting between gases, if required. Refer to
the ‘Gas Conversion' instructions for this appliance for further details.
7. Turn off the mains gas supply and bleed the gas out of the appliance gas lines.
8. Turn 'On' the gas supply and the appliance.
9. Verify that the operating pressure remains correct.
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.
