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 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

installation 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 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 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 local

and national legislation.

Before doing anything else, seek advice from your Gas

Board.

Installation procedure

is installed, observe current regulations.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

009

03 - Gas fry-top

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 connect

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 “TECHNICAL DATA”

table (Gas Flow Setting).

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

collaterally to the plant conforms to the specifications laid

down in paragraph "Testing the power rating" (see data

plate or measure the pressure).

Capacity

E =

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 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

specifications (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 appliance on other

types of gas”, page 12). 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 DATA” table .

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

thresholds.

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

in “TECHNICAL DATA” table 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”.

Checking the pilot light

When correctly adjusted, the pilot light flame will

completely 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.

Air volume flow is correct when there is sufficient protection

against the flame rising 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.

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” table to determine the correct nozzles to use.

The nozzles for the main burners and pilot light for

different 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 (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”) in

the Gas Flow Setting Table (1);

start the appliance up according to the instructions;

WITH THERMOSTATIC VALVE

- 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 608/WP - AGB 555/WP - AGB 557/WP -

AGB 556/WP - AGB 540/WP - AGB 541/WP - AGB 542/WP

each burner must be adjusted 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

regard to:

- ignition

- combustion safety;

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

vegetable 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

detergent, 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

necessary, you may use powdered pumice stone.

If the appliance is extremely dirty, use a synthetic sponge
