Propane

21.8 mbar

If not, check that the gas supply pressure is correct (Natural Gas 20mbar, and Propane 37mbar).

9.The pressure can be adjusted if required.

10.To check and set minimum pressure first remove one of the modulator wires.

Adjusting the Pressure (Fig 39)

11.Remove the plastic protection cap from the pressure adjustment nuts on the valve.

12.The smaller nut (5mm) adjusts minimum pressure and the larger nut (8mm) maximum pressure.

13.Using a suitable spanner adjust the relevant nut until the correct pressure is achieved.

14.Once the pressure has been set turn the boiler off and disconnect the pressure gauge.

15.Tighten the pressure test screw and refit the modulator to the valve. Reassemble in reverse order.
