Pressure Testing

Connect the appliance to the gas supply. Check the appliance is gas sound.

The gas pressure can be measured at the pressure test point (b) on the appliance side on the manifold, near the pressure regulator.

For proper operation, the pressure of LP supplied to the regulator must be between 10’’ and 13’’ of water column (2.49 - 3.24 kPa). When checking for proper operation of the regulator, the inlet pressure must be at least 1’’WC (0.25 kPa) greater than the operating (manifold) pressure as given above. The pressure regulator located at the inlet of the range manifold must remain in the supply line regardless of whether natural or LP gas is being used.

Check operation of all the burners.

Replace the back panel.
