A 3/4" IPS manual gas valve is shipped with each single Pasta System for field installation. Batteries have a factory installed manual gas valve for each Pasta System. The required gas pressure for proper operation of each Pasta System is 4" water column (WC) for natural gas and 10” water column (WC) for Propane gas at the burner manifold. Remove the allen head test plug on the gas valve and using a manometer to check pressure.
If the inlet gas pressure exceeds 7" WC for natural gas and 11" WC for Propane, an
NOTE: If more than one gas Pasta System is on the same supply line, you may require a larger line. Consult your local gas company to assure adequate volume and pressure. Refer to serial plate for proper gas requirements for your particular model.

WARNING
DO NOT CUT OR REMOVE THE GROUNDING PRONG FROM THIS PLUG.
GAS LEAK TESTING
Prior to lighting your Pasta System:
1.Make sure all thermostats, switches and safety valves are in the “OFF” position.
2.Turn main supply gas cock (Item 18, page 17) to the “ON” position.
3.Have your plumber or gas company check for leaks with a soap solution or sniffer. (NEVER check with an open flame)
4.Have your plumber or gas company representative light the constant pilot. (Not necessary if your Pasta System has an optional spark ignitor.)
NOTE: It is estimated that half of all service calls made on Keating Pasta Gas Systems result from an inadequate gas supply. During installation, have a gas company representative make certain that the Pasta System is receiving adequate gas pressure and volume.
WARNING
PROPANE GAS MAY EVENTUALLY LOSE ITS ODOR AND PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN TO ASSURE THAT IT IS NOT PRESENT EVEN THOUGH YOU DO NOT DETECT AN ODOR. IF THERE IS ANY DOUBT, YOU SHOULD CALL YOUR LOCAL PROPANE GAS SUPPLIER FOR ASSISTANCE.
CHECK GAS SUPPLY
PRESSURE
Special attention should be given to the supply pressure and gas flow pressure at the supply connection to the Pasta System. The nominal gas should be 4" WC for natural gas and 10" WC for propane gas.
If the supply pressure is lower or higher than the rated (nominal) pressure, then the reason should be investigated and the gas supplier contacted.
If the supply is lower than 2 1/2" WC or higher than 6" WC for natural gas or lower then 9” WC or higher than 12" WC for propane gas, then the Pasta System should be shut down and a service company or supplier notified. No adjustments should be made and the Pasta System should not be operated.
1.Turn off main gas supply valve.
2.Remove pressure measuring stud screw located at the
3.Remove cover screw from the gas value pressure adjustment valve.
4.Open main gas supply valve and start Pasta System according to instructions with the thermostat set at 190°F(87.8°C).
5.Once the Pasta System is in operation, adjust pressure valve to 4" WC for natural gas and 10” WC for propane gas.
6.Turn Pasta System off, close main gas supply valve, remove manometer and tighten cover screw into pressure measuring stud.
SPECIAL NOTICES
The Pasta System should be operated only in an area that has good air circulation.
The Pasta System must be installed under an electrically powered ventilating hood.
The operator should be properly trained to the functioning of the Pasta System.
This instruction manual should be supplied the the operator.
