Our grid are available either with a fish or meat surface.
Models AGB 613/WP - AGB 546/WP - AGB 561/WP -
AGB 472/WP have two separate grilling areas on the
plate. Each area has its own temperature controls.
ASSEMBLY
Location
The appliance should be installed in a well ventilated
room, and it is necessary under a range hood.
The appliance can be installed on its own or alongside
other equipment.
If the appliance is to be installed near inflammable
walls, a minimum distance of 200 mm. around the sides
and back should be allowed.
If this is impossible, take proper steps to ensure the in-
stallation is safe, such as fitting tiles or heat-reflecting
material to the walls.
Before connecting up the appliance to the gas supply,
check on the data plate that the appliance is fitted for
the type of gas available.
If not, consult paragraph “Running the appliance on
other types of gas”, page 12.
Legal and technical requisites
During assembly, the following legal and technical req-
uisites should be adhered to:
- relevant national legislation;
- local building and fire safety regulations;
- worksheet “Technical rules for installing gas”;
- worksheet “Technical rules for LP gas”;
- worksheet “Gas installations in industrial kitchens”;
- industrial injury legislation;
- local Gas Board regulations;
- current CEI regulations.
INSTALLATION
Assembly, installation and maintenance, i.e.: assembly,
connecting the gas supply, checking power rating,
trans-
forming or adapting the appliance to run on other types
of gas, and commissioning, must all be done by con-
tractors authorised by the local Gas Board in accor-
dance with local and national legislation.
Before doing anything else, seek advice from your Gas
Board.
Installation procedure
To level the appliance correctly, adjust the height of the
four legs.

Before commissioning the appliance
Before commissioning the appliance, remove the pro-
tective wrapping.
Thoroughly clean the work-surface and the outside of
the appliance using lukewarm water and detergent.
With a damp cloth eliminate all traces of the rust-proof-
ing applied in the workshop then dry with a clean cloth.
Start-up
Before starting the appliance up, check that its specifi-
cations (category and type of gas used) match those of
the family and group of the gas available locally.
If not, adapt the appliance to the gas family or group re-
quired (see paragraph “Running the appliance on other
types of gas”, page 12).
To start the appliance up, see the instructions for regu-
lar use.
Testing the power rating
Use the specific nozzles for the nominal capacity on the
appliance.
Capacity can be of two types:
- nominal, as given on the data plate;
- minimum.
These nozzles are shown in “TECHNICAL DATA” table 1.
The following are the operating pressure tolerances to ob-
tain the nominal power according to the agreed nozzles:
- from 15 to 22.5 mbar for gases of the second family;
- from 25 to 45 mbar for gases of the third family
(propane).
The appliance will not work outside the above pressure
thresholds.
To adjust the capacity to its minimum value, use the da-
ta in “TECHNICAL DATA” tables 1.
If you wish to check the nominal capacity further, you
may do so using a gas meter according to the so-called
”volumetric method”.
It is normally enough, however, simply to check that the
nozzles are functioning correctly.
Checking input pressure (Fig. 3)
Input pressure should be measured using a gauge (e.g.
a gooseneck pipe, min. resolution 0.1 mbar).
Remove screw (22) from the pressure socket and con-
nect it to the tube on the gauge; after measuring, the
screw should be retightened absolutely airtight (22).
Checking power rating using the
volumetric method
Using a gas meter and a chronometer, you can read the
volume of gas output per time unit.
The correct volume will be the value of “E” expressed in
litres per hour (It/hr) or litres per minute (It/min).
The following formula is used to calculate the value of “E”:
Capacity should only be measured when the appliance
is at a standstill.
The heat value can be obtained from your local Gas
Board.
To obtain the nominal and minimum capacities in rela-
tion to the nominal pressure, consult the “TECHNICAL
DATA” table.
WARNING
It is not possible to adjust nominal capacity in ad-
vance.
Checking power rating when using
LP gas
Check that the type of nozzles used match manufactur-
er's specifications.
Check that the output pressure regulator installed col-
laterally to the plant conforms to the specifications laid
down in paragraph "Testing the power rating".
Checking the pilot light (fig.5)
When correctly adjusted, the pilot light flame will com-
pletely surround the thermocouple and will not flicker; if
not, adjust the screw (12) for regulation of the pilot
burner.
Checking the primary air
The grid can be adjusted. Air volume flow is correct
when there is sufficient protection against the flame ris-
ing when the burner is cold or light-back when it is hot.

Checking the functions
- Start the appliance in accordance with the
instructions;
- Check the gas tubes for leaks;
- Check that the flame on the main burner lights
properly and is correctly formed, even on low;
- Check that the pilot light is correctly regulated;
- Draw up a servicing and maintenance contract.
- Check that the pilot light is correctly regulated;
- Draw up a servicing and maintenance contract.
Note for the installer
- Explain and demonstrate to the user how the ma-
chine works according to the instructions, and hand
him this manual.
- Remind the user that any structural alterations to the
room housing the appliance may affect the combus-
tion air supply. Once the alterations have been com-
pleted, the appliance and its functions should be
thoroughly checked.
Running the appliance on other types
of gas
When changing to another type of gas, e.g. from natural
to LP, or to another gas group, consult the “TECHNICAL
DATA” table to determine the correct nozzles to use.
The nozzles for the main burners for different types of
gas, marked in 100ths of mm, are in a case supplied
with the appliance.
When the appliance has been transformed or adapted,
recheck its functions as described in paragraph
"Checking the functions".
Replacing the main burner nozzle
To change nozzle (30), pull out the fat tray and loosen
the fixing screws holding the control panel in place.
Remove the panel. Unscrew the nozzle from the nozzle
holder with an adjustable spanner; replace with a new
nozzle (see “TECHNICAL DATA” table).
To make changing the nozzle easier, loosen screw (39)
to push the air adjustment sleeve back.
After fitting the nozzle, reset primary air distance “A”
(see “TECHNICAL DATA” table).
Replacing the pilot burner nozzle
(Fig. 5)
To get at the pilot burner, slide out the fat tray and re-
move the control panel (as previously described).
The pilot burner can be regulated by unscrewing the cap
(11) and turning the screw (12) with a screwdriver.
Tightening the screw reduces the capacity and loosening
the screw increases it. To change to another type of gas,
replace the nozzle on burner (36) according to the type
of gas used, by loosening hose (35) (see “TECHNICAL
DATA” table).
Adjusting the low flame (Fig. 3)
Referring to the “TECHNICAL DATA” table, set the low
flame screw (20) as follows:
- if the appliance is to run on LP gas, tighten the low
flame screw as far as it will go;
- if the appliance is to run on natural gas, turn the low flame
screw while simultaneously adjusting the primary air;
- read off the setting in It/min which corresponds to the
heat value (calculated by the “Volumetric Method”);
- start the appliance up according to the instructions;
- after allowing the appliance to run for 45 mins., turn the
knob to low and set minimum gas flow by turning screw
(20) (to the right = gas flow decreases; to the left = gas
flow increases).
On models AGB 613/WP - AGB 546/WP - AGB 561/WP -
AGB 472/WP each burner must be adjusted separately.

FIRST-TIME USE OF THE GRID
Important!
Before using the appliance for the first time, thorough-
ly clean the grid with lukewarm water and detergent,
using a soft cloth to eliminate all trace of the rust-
proofing applied in the workshop. Dry with a clean
cloth.
IGNITION
Turning the pilot burner on (Fig. 4)
Press knob (4) and turn it to the left .
Keep the knob pressed down while repeatedly pressing
piezo ignition button (6) until you can see through aperture
(10) on the control panel that the flame has caught. Keep
the knob pressed down for another 15-20 seconds; if the
flame goes out after the knob is released, start again.
Turning the main burner on and
adjusting the temperature (Fig. 4)
To light the main burner, turn the knob to the right until it is
on ‘high’ , or else continue until it reaches low ; the
heating capacity must be set between these two positions.
TURNING THE APPLIANCE OFF
Turning the appliance off during
normal operation
To turn the main burner off only, simply turn the knob
to ; this way only the pilot burner will stay on.
To turn the appliance off completely, turn the knob to ●;
this will turn the pilot burner off as well.
Turning the appliance off in an
emergency
In an emergency turn off the gas supply.
What to do if something goes wrong or if
not using the appliance for a long time
If the appliance is not to be used for a long time, or if it
breaks down or works incorrectly, close the tap to the gas
mains located outside the appliance.
If anything goes wrong, call the aftersales department.
WARNING
The height of the grid in relation to the flame may be
adjusted during cooking. To do this, grip both handles
11 and raise or lower them simultaneously (fig. 4) ac-
cording to the position required, finally fitting them in-
to one of the notches in the respective grooves.
TAKING CARE OF THE APPLIANCE
FREQUENCY OF MAINTENANCE
After using the grid, clean its surface while it is still quite
warm. Use emery paper or steel wool.
The fat tray should be emptied and cleaned daily after
use.
Giving the appliance a thorough clean every day (after
turning it off) will keep it in perfect working order and make
it last longer.
All steel parts should be cleaned with water and a deter-
gent, using a damp cloth; do not use abrasive substances
or corroding detergents. Do not use steel wool anywhere
but on the grilling plate since this might cause rust.
For the same reason, avoid touching the appliance with
anything made of iron.
Do not clean any parts of the appliance other than the
grilling plate with emery or sandpaper. If absolutely nec-
essary, you may use powdered pumice stone.
If the appliance is extremely dirty, use a synthetic sponge
such as Scotchbrite.
After cleaning the appliance, rinse with clean water and
dry with a clean cloth.
All maintenance work must be carried out by qualified
personnel only.
Have the appliance checked at least once a year; we
strongly recommend that you stipulate a servicing and
maintenance contract with your supplier.
