13.MACHINES WITH ALTERNATIVE GAS HEATER VERSION
N.B. Installation of the machine and any adjustment or adaptation to the type of gas 
should be done by a technically qualified
person.
The machine leaves the factory all set for use with liquid gas (GPL).
The gas regulator (1) is therefore fitted with the appropriate injector shown in the table below:

The primary air intake regulator (2) is set with the reference notch showing “GPL” corresponding te the secuting screw (3).
The flame is regulated (minimum and maximum) to suit this type of gas.
If the machine is to be used with a different type of gas, it will be necessary to replace the injector in accordance with the above table and to rotate the primary air regulator (2), which, in the case of natural gas, will have to be set with the reference notch showing “N” corresponding to the securing screw (3).
To do this, it will of course be necessary to loosen the securing screw (3) and to tighten it again after rotating the primary air intake regulator (2).
Connections to mains gas, from the gas tap available in the room to the valve fitted on the machine, must be carried out in accordance with the regulations in force, using a flexible pipe or a rigid pipe in annealed copper. In the latter case, the special
The flexible pipe is fitted over the end of the mains outlet and secured with the metal strip supplied. Alternatively, the annealed copper pipe can be connected up, again using the special biconical nozzle and the appropriate nuts, directly to the valve.
Once the machine has been connected up to the gas main, and after filling the boiler up with water in accordance with the instructions in the booklet
(“INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE AND MAINTENANCE”), the burner can be lit in the following manner:
zOpen the main gas tap.
zPress on the gas valve knob, on the machine rotate it 90°
zWair about 20 seconds, then release the valve knob and the burner should stay lit – the flame is vidible through the special hole in the panel behind the dispenser units.
N.B.
Should the burner not light up, do not persist, but release the valve knob, and then check that lighter spark on the burner is in order and about 5 mm long.
Should the flame go out when te valve knob is released, check the position of thermocouple and the circuit connected to it.
The flame should be bright blue; if not, slightly regulate the primary air intake (2) until the desired effect is achieved.
Wait until the machine has the correct pressure, according to instructions. Otherwise, adjust the gas pressure regulator, which has two regulating screws. The one that protrudes more (4) serves to regulate the boiler’s operating pressure, while the other (5) serves to set the flame at the minimum.
When the machine is pressurized, check to see that the minimum flame is correct by adjusting the screw (4) if necessary; after loosening the
If the flame is too high, it will be necessary to regulate screw (5), turning it slightly clockwise, of course after having loosened the
Then rotate the screw (4) clockwise until there is a there is a high flame, and wait for the boiler to reach the desired operating pressure: if the flame dies down before reaching the required pressure, tighten screw (4) further; if the flame dies down at a higher pressure, then unscrew the screw.
Check once or twice by opening the steam tap to release the pressure in the boiler, then hold screw (4) still and lock it with the
