Gas tap maintenance
These maintenance operations MUST ONLY be carried
out by a GASSAFE registered engineer.
IMPORTANT: Before carrying out any maintenance operations,
disconnect the appliance from the gas and electricity supplies.
If a gas tap becomes stiff to operate, then you should proceed as
follows:
o Remove the control knobs, pan supports, burners, hob fixing
screws and clamps.
o Remove the hob from the worktop and remove any underside
protective covers.
o Disconnect the fixings holding the tap to the fascia panel and
separate the assembly. Then clean the cone and seating, with
a cloth dampened with solvent.
o Lightly smear the cone with high temperature grease,
reassemble into position and rotate a few times.
o Remove the cone again and remove any excess grease,
making sure that the gas ducts are not obstructed with
grease.
o Carefully reassemble the components and perform a gas
soundness test.
If it becomes necessary to replace a gas tap, then you should proceed
as follows:
o Remove the control knobs, pan supports, burners, hob fixing
screws and clamps.
o Remove the hob from the worktop and remove any underside
protective covers.
o Disconnect the fixings holding the tap to the fascia panel and
separate the assembly.

disassemble them from the gas rail by removing the fixing
screws.
