Construction, equipment installed and safety devices

Robust steel frame, with 4 legs (adjustable in height). 18/10 chrome-nickel steel outer panelling. The surface of the special steel plate can be either smooth or grooved; the plate comes with side and back splashguards made of 18/10 chrome-nickel steel. The appliance is also fitted with a stainless steel fat tray. The plate is heated by tubular chromium-plated steel burners, built to withtand thermomechanical stress. The pilot burner has fixed injectors. The combustion chamber and flues are made of electrogalvanised steel sheeting. The temperature is set using the safety taps provided. It goes from low (minimum) to high (maximum) through a range of easily selectable intermediate levels. Our fry-tops are available either with a grooved or with a smooth surface. Models AGB 608/WP - AGB 555/WP - AGB 557/WP AGB 556/WP - AGB 540/WP - AGB 541/WP - AGB 542/WP 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, transforming 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

To level the appliance correctly, adjust the height of the four legs. The R 1/2” gas off-take on the appliance can either be permanently fixed to the mains or made detachable using a standard adaptor. If flexible hose is used, it must be in stainless steel and to current regulations. After completing connection, check for leaks using a special leak-detector spray.

Gas venting

These appliances are A construction type, thus no gas venting is required. For advice on ventilating the premises where the appliance is installed, observe current regulations.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

009-03 - Gas fry-top

11

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).

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 obtain 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 lightback 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 loosening 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;

- 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;

- Check the functions of the appliance as described in

paragraph "Checking the functions", page 12. If the main burner needs cleaning, proceed as follows:

a) remove the control knobs and the fat tray; unscrew the fixing screws and remove the control panel; b) unscrew hose clamp (28) to disconnect the gas vent connector from the nozzle holder; c) unscrew the fixing screws and remove the front panel of the combustion chamber; loosen the fixing screws on the panel on the front of the main burner. The main burner can now be removed for cleaning. Take care when cleaning the flame apertures. Make sure you use a prong with the right diameter. When reassembling the burner, make sure the back slots properly into the combustion chamber.

- Check the gas venting path (make sure the gas is correctly evacuated).

REPLACING PARTS

All parts must be replaced by authorised technicians only!

To replace the following parts, first remove the control knobs, slide out the fat tray and remove the control panel (after unscrewing its fixing screws).

Ignition plug (Fig. 5)

The ignition plug (37) must be removed from below. Disconnect the ignition lead, loosen the lock nut and insert a new plug.

Gas tap (Fig. 3)

Loosen the gas piping and thermocouple hoses, then loosen the screws fixing the gas supply to the gas ramp and insert a new tap.

Thermocouple (Figs. 3 & 5)

Turning the appliance off in an emergency

In an emergency turn off the gas supply.

What to do if something goes wrong or if not using the appliance for a long time

If the appliance is not to be used for a long time, or if it breaks down or works incorrectly, close the tap to the gas mains located outside the appliance. If anything goes wrong, call the aftersales department.

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

SMOOTH AND GROOVED PLATES START-UP

FIRST-TIME USE OF THE PLATE Important!
