Every cooker is provided with a set of
injectors for the various types of gas.
Injectors not supplied can be obtained
from the After-Sales Service.
Select the injectors to be replaced ac-
cording to the table at page 18.
The nozzle diameters, expressed in hun-
dredths of a millimetre, are marked on
the body of each injector.
To replace the injectors proceed as fol-
lows:
– Remove the grids and extract the
burner bodies.
– Using a wrench, substitute the nozzle
injectors “J” (Figs. 3.4, 3.5) with those
most suitable for the kind of gas for
which it is to be used (see “Table for
