Construction, equipment installed

and safety devices

Robust steel frame, with 4 legs (adjustable in hei-

ght).

18/10 chrome-nickel steel outer panelling and tanks.

The water is heated by burners in stainless steel (2

per tank), built to withstand thermomechanical

stress.

The pilot burner has stable injectors.

The combustion chamber and flues are made of

electro-galvanised steel sheeting.

The temperature is set through a thermostat, which

controls the ignition and extinguishing of the bur-

ners.

The fry tops are fitted with a safety thermostat;

should the temperature of the oil exceed the safety

limit, the gas is automatically cut off.

Attention!

Activation of the safety thermostat means the ap-

pliance is not working properly; before using the

appliance again, call the service centre to carry

out a careful check of all functions.

ASSEMBLY

Location

The appliance should be installed in a well ventila-

ted room, and if possible under a range hood.

The appliance can be installed on its own or alongsi-

de other equipment.

If the appliance is to be installed near inflammable

walls, a minimum distance of 50 mm. around the si-

des and back should be allowed.

Place table-top appliances on a table or shelf in fla-

me-proof material.

Before connecting up the appliance to the gas sup-

ply, check on the data plate that the appliance is fit-

ted for the type of gas available.

If not, consult paragraph “Running the appliance on

other types of gas”, page 8.

Legal and technical requisites

During assembly, the following legal and technical

requisites 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 kit-

chens”;

- industrial injury legislation;

- local Gas Board regulations;

- current CEI regulations.

INSTALLATION

Assembly, installation and maintenance, i.e.: as-

sembly, 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 local and national legislation.

Before doing anything else, seek advice from your

Gas Board.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

054

03 - Gas Bain-marie

Installation procedure

To level the appliance correctly, adjust the height of

the four legs.

Gas connection

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

be permanently fixed to the mains or made detacha-

ble using a standard gas tap.

If flexible ducts are used, these should be made of stain-

less steel and should comply with current regulations.

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.

COMMISSIONING THE APPLIANCE

Before commissioning the appliance

Before commissioning the appliance, remove the

protective wrapping.

Thoroughly clean the work-surface and the outside

of the appliance using lukewarm water and deter-

gent.

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 spe-

cifications (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 required (see paragraph “Running the ap-

pliance on other types of gas”, page 8).

To start the appliance up, see the instructions for

regular use.

Testing the power rating

Use the specific nozzles for the rated output (see

table 1 in assembly instructions).

Working tolerances for the capacity obtained accor-

ding to the nozzles used, are as follows:

- tolerances within the following fields of input

pressure:

- 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 pres-

sure thresholds.

If you wish to check the nominal capacity further,

you may do so using a gas meter according to the

so-called ”volumetric method”.

As a rule, however, it is sufficient to check that the

correct nozzles are being used.

Checking input pressure (Fig. 2)

Input pressure should be measured using a gauge

(e.g. a gooseneck pipe, min. resolution 0.1 mbar).

Remove screw (19) from the pressure socket and

connect it to the tube on the gauge; after measu-

ring, the screw should be retightened absolutely

airtight (19).

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” expres-

sed 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 ap-

pliance is at a standstill.

The heat value can be obtained from your local Gas

Board.

To obtain the nominal capacity in relation to the no-

minal pressure, consult table (1) (Gas Flow

Setting).

Capacity

Heat value

E =

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 manufac-

turer's specifications.

Check that the pressure reducer installed on the ap-

pliance has an outlet pressure in compliance with

paragraph "Testing the power rating", page 7(see

data plate or measure the pressure).

Checking the pilot light

When correctly adjusted, the pilot light flame should sur-

round the thermocouple and not flicker. If this is not the

case, adjust the gas flow rate and air.

Checking the primary air

The appliances are fitted with primary air adjustement.

Air flow volume is correct when there is sufficient

protection against the flame becoming detached

when the burner is cold or flare-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;

- 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

combustion air supply. Once the alterations have

been completed, the appliance and its functions

should be thoroughly checked.

Running the appliance on other ty-

pes of gas

When changing to another type of gas, e.g. from na-

tural to LP, or to another gas group, consult the “TE-

CHNICAL 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 sup-

plied 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

(Fig. 1)

To change nozzle (30), loose the fixing screws hol-

ding the control panel in place. Remove the panel.

Using a No. 11 wrench, unscrew the nozzle from the

nozzle holder; replace with a new nozzle (see “TE-

CHNICAL 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).

Adjusting the pilot burner (Fig. 6)

The pilot burner is easily accessible once the con-

trol panel has been removed (as described above).

The pilot burner has a fixed power supply. In order

to change to another type of gas, the burner injector

(36) should be replaced, according to the type of

gas used, by loosening the connector (35) (see
