2.4 CONVERSION TO OTHER TYPE OF GAS
This operation must be executed always by qualified and authorised tradesperson.
This appliance has been designed to function with Propane or Natural gas.
This appliance is provided with a label on the rear panel, near the gas inlet, indicating the type
of gas for which the cooker has been adjusted.
The gas types that the appliance is certified for installation are nominated on the data label,
which is located on the inside of the storage compartment. Do not connect to any other gas

In order to convert from one type of gas to another, proceed as follows:
1 - Remove the pan supports from the hob, then remove the burner caps and burner
head/skirts.
2 - Unscrew and remove the injectors, and replace them with those supplied corresponding to
the gas available ( see burner and injector table 1).

appliance is now prepared. “Appliance prepared for“. Remove the old gas type Label.
6 - When converting from Natural Gas to Propane ensure that the NG regulator is removed and
replaced with the Test Point Assembly.
A gas regulator suitable for a supply pressure of
2.75kPa should be part of the gas tank supply and the test point pressure should be adjusted to
2.75kPa.
