SERVICING
Gas catering equipment should be routinely serviced to ensure a long trouble-free life. With this in mind, it is
recommended that a competent gas engineer service the appliances every 6 months.
Please see page 12 “Service” for information on authorised service agents.

GENERAL SERVICE
General check of the equipment, e.g. installation - is the unit on the correct hose? Does the hose have
a safety chain? Does the equipment have a separate isolation valve?
To access the valve/s, pull off the knobs and remove screws from the facia panel.
Lower the fascia panel to reveal the valves.
Check and adjust where necessary the burner pressure at the test nipple, with the unit in full
operation.
Check the general burner condition.
Check the thermocouple/s for sooting etc. and clean. Check for correct operating distance (3mm
from the centre of the thermocouple to the burner face).
Carryout a gas soundness check.
Refit the fascia panel and the control knob/s.

Thermocouple

advises this is a two-person job.
Loosen the thermocouple-retaining nut at the valve.
Loosen the retaining nuts on the thermocouple body.
Withdraw the thermocouple from the bracket.
Refitting is the reverse of the above.
Check for correct operating distance (3mm from the centre of the thermocouple to the burner
face).

Remove the thermocouple from the back of the valve.
Loosen the nuts to burner feed pipe.
Loosen the valve retaining screws.
Fit the new valve and thermocouple and leak test the unit.

Note: The control valve has been factory pre-set and therefore it should not be necessary to adjust the
low flame setting.

Remove knobs and fascia panel.
Remove the rear panel.
Slide the hob top / griddle plate backwards and lift off. This assembly is very heavy and Lincat
advises this is a two-person job.
