GAS MANIFOLD PRESSURE

ADJUSTMENT

WARNING: DISCONNECT THE ELECTRICAL POWER TO THE MACHINE AT THE MAIN CIRCUIT BOX. PLACE A TAG ON THE CIRCUIT BOX INDICATING THE CIRCUIT IS BEING SERVICED.

WARNING: SHUT OFF THE GAS SUPPLY BEFORE SERVICING THE UNIT.

1.Open the cabinet base door to access main gas valve.

2.Remove the manifold pressure tap plug from the outlet side of valve.

A.Install a hose barb adaptor and attach a gas pressure manometer.

3.Turn the gas supply and power switch ON.

A.Once the boiler fills, press the reset switch to start the ignition process.

NOTE: The reset switch can be pressed after the green ready light on the switch comes ON. This indicates the water level in the boiler is at the minimum operating level.

4.After the main burner lights, allow the boiler to reach operating pressure then compare the gas manometer pressure reading to the pressure chart near the end of this procedure.

A.If other appliances are connected to the same gas line, turn them all ON and check manometer pressure reading again. If the pressure drops ½ inch water column or more, then the gas supply needs to be checked by the gas line installer or the local gas company for adequate sizing.

NOTE: The gas supply line to the steamer should be a minimum of one inch diameter (ID).

B.If the pressure does not drop as described above but the manifold pressure still requires adjustment, proceed to step 5.

5.Remove the adjustment screw cap to access the pressure adjustment screw.

6.With the burner lit, set the pressure as outlined below.

A.To increase pressure, turn the screw clockwise.

B.To decrease pressure, turn the screw counterclockwise.

NOTE: Accurate gas pressure adjustments can only be made with the gas ON and the burner lit.
