DISCHARGE OF EXHAUST FLUE PRODUCTS

The units should be installed in premises suitable for the discharge of flue products, which must occur in compliance with the
installation instructions. Our equipment (see Table 1.1 for technical data) is classified as:
2.4.1

GAS UNITS TYPE A1

They are not suitable to be connected to a flue discharge control.
The gas unit should be positioned beneath a draft hood with its system complying with the Regulations. (This unit needs at
least 2cu.m/hr • kW T.C. (Thermal Capacity).
Check kitchen ventilation: it should by complying with the Regulations in force.
2.5

HOW TO ACHIEVE THE NOMINAL THERMAL CAPACITY

Check whether the unit is fitted for the gas type, pressure and category corresponding with the main gas supply.
Indication shown on packing and/or the label of the unit.
If the unit is fitted for another gas type or pressure, you need to first effect a change over to the other gas type.
See Table II . for the nozzle, the idle screw (bypass), the pilots nozzles and the nozzle pressure for the main burners.
N.B. The names of nozzles "2H" and "3+" are shown on the left side of Table II.
2H= G20 - 20mbar
3+= G30 29mbar and/or G31 - 37mbar coupled gas and pressure. In our sector, we almost always have to deal with G31 - 37mbar!
Table II shows the types of gas and pressure for all burners and respective nozzles, the X mm distance for the adjustment of
primary air , the idle screw (bypass), the pilot nozzle, the maximum and minimum pressure at nozzle, the maximum and
minimum thermal capacity, and the gas consumption in l/hr (15°C) or in g/hr in the case of L.P.G.
Attention: If the incoming gas' "dynamic" pressure to the unit is lower than the minimum pressure on Table II, connection is
prohibited; furthermore, the fitter should notify the gas Company that the supply pressure is too low.
N.B. Should the pressure vary more to than +10% of the nominal pressure, e.g. for G20 > 22mbar, it is advisable to mount a
pressure regulator ahead of the unit in order to guarantee the nominal pressure.
Should the supply pressure exceed the maximum pressure on Table II, e.g. for G20 > 25mbar, notify the gas Company.
Make sure the inlet and nozzle pressures agrees with the values shown on Table II.
2.5.1

INCOMING PRESSURE CHECK (PE)

Pressure is measured with a manometer 0÷80mbar (precision at least 0.1mbar).
The pressure socket Fig. 5 is located on the G 1/2" gas ramp behind the panel; undo the screw (A) of the pressure socket (B),
attach the silicone rubber to the manometer, ignite the burner and take the incoming "dynamic" pressure.
Fasten the screw (A) back with a gas washer (C), check gas sealing with bubble soap.
2.5.2 NOZZLE PRESSURE CHECK (PI) FIG. 1
The pressure tube (Picture 1) is located on the out-going screw.
The silicone rubber is prepared for high temperatures and should be protected with tin foil to avoid its burning.
2.5.3

ADJUSTING THE MINIMUM THERMAL CAPACITY

The right minimum for thermal capacity is achieved by means of the bypass idle screw completely opened (100%).
2.5.4

LIQUID GAS OPERATION CONTROL

Check whether the fitted nozzles comply with the indications on Table II.
Check whether the incoming pressure complies with the indications on Table II.
Make sure that the L.P.G. gas system has two pressure regulators of suitable capacity and that the evaporation capacity is
sufficient.
See also the publication "Installation Regulations and Characteristics of L.P.G. Systems".
2.6

OPERATION CONTROL

- Start the unit in accordance with the use instructions Chap. 5.
- Make sure there are no leaks following the local procedures.
- Check the ignition and interignition of the pilot burner and the main burner.
- Make sure the flue gases are discharged regularly.
- Write on a sticker to be glued to the unit label, for what gas and pressure the unit has been calibrated.
2.7

INTRODUCTION TO USERS

Explain the operation and use of the Pasta cooker to its user by consulting the manual, and illustrate any changes.
Leave this instruction manual with the user and explain he/she must consult it for any future reference.
