5.1.3 Gas connection
Before the installation of the device and its connection to the gas supply, carefully
•
inspect the elements of gas installation which should comply with the provisions of
the Building Code.
Check the pipes diameters in order to ensure sufficient supply to all the gas-heated
•
devices. To avoid excessive pressure drop, install the device while maintaining
similar conditions.
Connection to the gas distribution grid should be made of metallic, hard or flexible
•
material with the use of tubes of proportional diameter. Insert a gasket appropriate
for gas products.
Make sure that flexible tubes do not pass on or near hot surfaces, are not subject to
•
strain or pressure and have no contact with sharp edges or other objects which
might damage the tube.
A certified gas shut-off valve must be installed in an accessible place between the
•
gas distribution grid and the device, to allow for cutting off the gas supply at any
moment, if necessary.
Check if the gas cylinder (if attached) is properly set and secured and whether it
•
stands in a dry place.
Before the installation, make sure that the device is set for gas and pressure
•
available at the installation site (see rating plate on the device and packaging). If the
factory settings do not match, the device must be switched to another gas type
(Chapter 5.1.5 „Switching the device to another gas type / required settings").
After the installation of the gas stock-pot stove, a leak test of all gas pipes should be
•
performed with the use of water with soap or leak detection spray.
5.1.4 Output control
Checking nominal heat output
During the initial installation, the gas installer must check the nominal heat load of
•
the device, as well as carry out maintenance and if necessary – switch the device to
another gas type.
Never try to increase the output or nominal heat of the device provided by the
•
manufacturer.
Control the nominal heat load with the use of gas meter and stopwatch. Measure
•
precisely the volume of flowing gas per unit of time, consumed by the device at the
maximum output.
Compare the readouts with the consumption data in Chapter 4.2 „Technical data".
•
Tolerance of ± 5 % is allowed.
