GAS SUPPLY CONNECTION
A manual valve must be installed in an accessible location in the gas line external to the
appliance for the purpose of turning on or shutting off gas to the appliance. (In Massachusetts
such shutoff devices should be approved by the Board of State Examiners of Plumbers & Gas Fitters).
This appliance can be used with either LP gas or Natural gas. It is shipped from the
factory adjusted for use with Natural gas.
Instructions for converting the regulator between NG and LP
1. Unscrew the cap from the regulator.
2. Check the orientation of the plastic conversion plug, and if necessary, unscrew, turn over
and screw back in (wide section away from cap for LP and against cap for NG - see
diagram below for appropriate orientation.
For use with a gas pressure regulator. The regulator supplied can be set for either LP gas or
3. Replace regulator cap.
Natural gas and must be used with this appliance. It has a 1 2" NPT thread.
4. Test gas pressure (test point provision on side of regulator). When converting the regulator
for different settings, the function of the regulator must be checked at a pressure at least
1" WC (0.036 p.s.i.) above the specified manifold pressure.
/
Gas connection to the product must use the elbow supplied (it has a 1 2" NPT external thread).
/
Ensure the blue washer (supplied) is located between the elbow and the product
inlet. Failure to use this will cause the product to leak.
(Note: this diagram is of GC36 but is
similar for GC901 and GC901M).

TESTING AND SETTING
PAGE 5 OF 6
After installing the gas supply and making all connections check thoroughly for possible leaks. Turn all control knobs on unit to "off" position. Open the valve on the gas supply. Using a leak
detection fluid (e.g. Rocol leak detection spray) check each gas connection one at a time by brushing the solution over the connection. The presence of bubbles will indicate a leak. Tighten the
fitting and recheck for leaks.
Leak testing of the appliance shall be conducted according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Turn on burner valve and light each burner. Check for a clear blue flame without yellow tipping. If burners show any abnormalities, check that they are located properly and in line with the
injector orifice.
The appliance and it's individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system in excess of 1 2 p.s.i. (3.5kPa).
/
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing it's individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures at
or less than 1 2 p.s.i.(3.5kPa).
/
Maximum inlet gas supply pressure 4" W.P. Natural Gas, 11" W.P. LP gas.
Minimum gas supply pressure for regulator testing 5" W.P. Natural Gas, 12" W.P. LP gas.
CONVERSION TO DIFFERENT GAS TYPE
Burners can be used with all types of gas, provided that the orifices appropriate for the gas
delivered are installed.
The label supplied with the orifices can be placed over the existing gas label to indicate the change.
High altitude orifices are available from Fisher & Paykel USA (see address).
You will need a 9 32" (7mm) socket (and a 13 32" (10mm) socket for the GC901M).
/
/
To change the orifices:
1. Turn off the mains supply.
2. Ensure all gas valves are turned off.

5. Remove the two screws securing each burner (three on the wok burner).
6. Partially lift the hob and unplug the electrode on the simmer burner
(CAUTION: the edge can be sharp).

This has been set at the factory for NG but can be checked after the correct pressure has been
reached. To adjust for minimum setting, if needed. You will need a Ø 7 " x 1 3 4" (Ø2.5 x 45mm)

screwdriver. (A suitable screwdriver is available as Fisher & Paykel spare part. FB200467).
1. Ignite the burner and set the knob to its minimum position.
2. Remove the knobs.
3. Rotate the turn down screw (down the hole in the spindle) while holding the shaft.
Rotate slowly until a minimum regular flame is achieved. (The flame will diminish when
the screw is turned clockwise and increase when turned counter clockwise).
4. When the setting is right check regulation by quickly rotating the knob from the
maximum to the minimum delivery position. The flame must not go out and the
autoreignition should not click. Replace the knob.
