Adapting To Different Types Of Gas - Whirlpool ACMT6332/IX/3 Mode D'emploi

Adapting to different types of gas

It is possible to adapt the appliance to a type of gas
other than the default type (this is indicated on the
rating label on the cover).
Adapting the hob
Replacing the nozzles for the hob burners:
1. Remove the hob grids and slide the burners off
their seats.
2. Unscrew the nozzles using
a 7 mm socket spanner ( see
figure ), and replace them with
nozzles suited to the new type
of gas ( see Table of burner
and nozzle specifications ).
3. Replace all the components
by following the above
instructions in reverse.
Adjusting the hob burners' minimum setting:
1. Turn the tap to the minimum position.
2. Remove the knob and adjust the regulatory
screw, which is positioned inside or next to the tap
pin, until the flame is small but steady.
If the appliance is connected to a liquid gas
supply, the regulatory screw must be fastened as
tightly as possible.
3. While the burner is lit, quickly change the position of
the knob from minimum to maximum and vice versa
several times, checking that the flame is not
extinguished.
The hob burners do not require primary air adjustment.
After adjusting the appliance so it may be used with a
different type of gas, replace the old rating label with a
new one which corresponds to the new type of gas (these
labels are available from Authorised Technical Assistance
Centres).
Should the gas pressure used be different (or vary
slightly) from the recommended pressure, a suitable
pressure regulator must be fitted to the inlet hose in
accordance with current standards EN 88-1 and EN
88-2 relating to "regulators for channelled gas".
Replacing the Triple ring burner nozzles
1. Remove the pan supports and lift the burners out of
their housing. The burner consists of two separate
parts (see pictures).
2. Unscrew the nozzles using a 7 mm socket spanner.
Replace the nozzles with models that are configured
for use with the new type of gas (see Table 1). The two
nozzles have the same hole diameter.
3. Replace all the components by completing the above
operations in reverse order.
• Adjusting the burners' primary air :
Does not require adjusting.
1. Turn the tap to the low flame position.
2. Remove the knob and adjust the adjustment screw,
which is positioned in or next to the tap pin, until the
flame is small but steady.
3. Having adjusted the flame to the required low setting,
while the burner is alight, quickly change the position
of the knob from minimum to maximum and vice versa
several times, checking that the flame does not go out.
4. Some appliances have a safety device (thermocouple)
fitted. If the device fails to work when the burners are
set to the low flame setting, increase this low flame
setting using the adjusting screw.
5. Once the adjustment has been made, replace the seals
on the by-passes using sealing wax
! If the appliance is connected to liquid gas, the regulation
screw must be fastened as tightly as possible.
! Once this procedure is finished, replace the old rating
sticker with one indicating the new type of gas used.
Stickers are available from any of our Service Centres.
! Should the gas pressure used be different (or vary
slightly) from the recommended pressure, a suitable
pressure regulator must be fitted to the inlet pipe (in order
to comply with current national regulations).
