S ecifications).
3. Reasse ble the arts following the instructions in
reverse order.
4. On co leting the o eration, re lace the old rating
label with the one showing the new ty e of gas; the
sticker is available fro our Service Centres.
Regulation of Air Su ly to the Burner
The burners do not need a ri ary air regulator.
Mini u Regulation
1. Turn the gas valve to ini u.
2. Re ove the knob
and turn the regulator
screw (ositioned either
on the side of the to or
inside the shaft)
clockwise until the fla e
beco es s all but
regular.
3. Make sure that, when the knob is turned ra idly
high to low, the fla e does not go out.
4. In the event of a alfunction on a liances with the
security device (ther ocou le) when the gas
su ly is set at ini u, increase the ini u
su ly levels using the regulator screw.
 In the case of liquid gas, the regulation screw ust
be fully screwed in (clockwise).
 Once the adjust ent has been ade, a ly sealing
wax, or a suitable substitute, to the old seals on the
