Construction, equipment installed and

safety devices

Robust steel frame, with 4 legs (adjustable in height).

18/10 chrome-nickel steel outer panelling.

The surface of the special steel plate can be either

smooth or grooved; the plate comes with side and back

splash-guards made of 18/10 chrome-nickel steel.

The appliance is also fitted with a stainless steel fat tray.

The plate is heated by tubular chromium-plated steel burn-

ers, built to withstand thermomechanical stress.

The pilot burner has fixed injectors.

The combustion chamber and flues are made of electro-

galvanised steel sheeting.

The temperature may be adjusted through special cocks

with thermostats, complete with safety devices.

It goes from low (minimum) to high (maximum) through a

range of easily selectable intermediate levels.

Our fry-tops are available either with a grooved or with a

smooth surface.

Models AGB 459/WP - AGB 470/WP - AGB 461/WP -

AGB 465/WP - AGB 467/WP have two separate grilling

areas on the plate. Each area has its own temperature

controls.

Location

The appliance should be installed in a well ventilated

room, and if possible 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 ma-

terial 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 9.

Legal and technical requisites

During assembly, the following legal and technical requi-

sites 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 contractors

authorised by the local Gas Board in accordance with lo-

cal 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.

The R 3/4” gas off-take on the appliance can either be

permanently fixed to the mains or made detachable using a

standard gas tap.

If flexible hose is used, it must be in stainless steel and to

DIN 3383 part 1 or DIN 3384 standard.

After completing connection, check for leaks using a

special leak-detector spray.

Gas venting

These appliances are A construction type, thus no gas

venting is required.

For advice on ventilating the premises where the appliance

is installed, observe current regulations.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

014

03 - Gas fry-top

Before commissioning the appliance

Before commissioning the appliance, remove the protec-

tive 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-proofing

applied in the workshop then dry with a clean cloth.

Start-up

Before starting the appliance up, check that its specifica-

tions (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 9).

To start the appliance up, see the instructions for regular

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 DATE” 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 35 mbar for gases of the third family

(propane).

The appliance will not work outside the above pressure

threshholds.

To adjust the capacity to its minimum value, use the data

in tables 1.

If you wish to check the nominal capacity further, you may

do so using a gas meter according to the so-called ”volu-

metric 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 li-

tres 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 relation

to the nominal pressure, consult table 1.

WARNING

It is not possible to adjust nominal capacity in advance.

Checking power rating when using LP

gas

Check that the type of nozzles used match manufacturer's

specifications.

Check that the output pressure regulator installed collate-

rally to the plant conforms to the specifications laid down

in paragraph "Testing the power rating" (see data plate or

measure the pressure) page 8.

Checking the pilot light

When correctly adjusted, the pilot light flame will comple-

tely surround the thermocouple and will not flicker; if it

does, make sure that the nozzle is the correct one for the

type of gas used.

Checking the primary air

The plates, whether smooth or grooved, can be adjusted.

The air flow is correctly adjusted when there is adequate

protection against the flame rising when the burner is cold

or flareback 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.

Note for the installer

- Explain and demonstrate to the user how the machine

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 combustion

air supply. Once the alterations have been completed,

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” to determine the correct nozzles to use.

The nozzles for the main burners and pilot light for diffe-

rent types of gas, marked in 100ths of mm, are in a case

supplied with the appliance (the pilot burner nozzles are

marked with a code number).

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 remove

the control panel (as previously described).

The pilot burner has a fixed gas supply.

To change to another type of gas, replace the nozzle on

burner (36) according to the type of gas used, by loosen-

ing hose (35) (see “TECHNICAL DATA” table).

Adjusting the low flame (Fig. 3)

Referring to the “TECHNICAL DATA” table, set the low

flame screw (36) 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”) in

the Gas Flow Setting Table (2);

- 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 (36) (to the right = gas flow decreases; to the left

= gas flow increases).

On models AGB 459/WP - AGB 470/WP - AGB 461/WP -

AGB 465/WP - AGB 467/WP each burner must be adju-

sted separately.

MAINTENANCE

The following maintenance programme should be carried

out at least once a year:

- Check that all the safety and setting devices are

working properly;

- Check that the burners are working properly with re-

gard to:

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.

TAKING CARE OF THE APPLIANCE

FREQUENCY OF MAINTENANCE

Smooth/grooved surface

After using the grilling plate, clean its surface while it is

still quite warm. Use emery paper or steel wool.

To prevent rust from forming, spread a thin coating of ve-

getable oil over the grilling plate after cleaning.

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 substan-

ces 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 ne-

cessary, 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.
