2. CONTROL & ADJUSTMENT OF PRESSURE
2.1 This device is regulated and controlled in order to function with Nat Gas (Gas A), with pressure
7 i.w.c. (17.4 mbar).
A regulator should be installed in order to achieve right and strong pressure. In order to install a
regulator of pressure follow the instructions below.
6
Fig. 1: Installation of pressure regulator
The pressure regulator must have a pressure adjustment range to allow adjustment to the manifold
pressure on the appliance rating plate 2.5" to 12" i.w.c.
The proposed pressure regulators are type 96 and 97.

Notice!
The pressure regulator installed must be listed by a nationally recognized testing agency.
In order to operate this device with a different gas, it is necessary to regulate the device with the
type of gas that is going to be used.
2.2 The pressure that corresponds to different types of gas is shown at Table 1.
7 i.w.c. (17.4 mbar) for natural gas (Nat Gas (Gas A)).
11 i.w.c. (27.4 mbar) for propane (Liquid Propane: LP (Gas E))
See at Table 1.
2.3 STAGES OF PRESSURE CONTROL (Fig. 3)
In order to control the pressure use a manometer with a division at least 0, 1 mbar.
Unscrew the insulate bolt (2) of the pressure control point (1).
Connect the manometer at the pressure point (1).
Check that the pressure of the device is the appropriate for the type of gas you are going to use.
Remove that manometer.
Screw the insulate bolt (2) at the pressure control point (1).
Check for leak!

3. CONVERSION TO DIFFERENT TYPES OF GAS
3.1 In order to achieve main transformation from Nat A to LP E gas you must change the injector
of the burner and convert your pressure regulator. The size of the injector, which corresponds to
the type of the gas, appears at Table - 1.
3.2 CHANGING THE MAIN BURNER’S INJECTOR (Fig. 4)
In order to change the injector (Νο 2, Fig. 4), unbolt it and bolt the appropriate injector. In every
appliance you will find in a socket the appropriate injectors for LP gas E.
ATTENTION !!!
After changing the injector make a leak check.

3.4 REGULATION OF THE SMALL FLAME (Fig. 6)
Turn on the main burner according to the instructions, turn the knob at the position MIN of the
little flame (Νο 1, Fig. 6). Make sure that, at the position MIN, burner’s flame is still alight, even
during rapid turning of the knob from the MAX to the MIN.
In case that at the position MIN, burner’s flame dies down, or if the flame is very strong then do
the following steps:
Keep the knob at the position MIN
Pull off the knob of the gas valve and with a small screwdriver regulate the screw of the gas
valve, which is located behind the hole (No 2, Fig. 6).
When you turn the bolt right you reduce the intensity of the flame, & when you turn it left you
make the flame stronger.
Regulate the intensity of the flame at your will. Then put back the black knob of the gas valve
at its former position.
3.5 FINAL FUNCTION CHECK
Turn the device on following the instructions on the next pages.
Check with a special spray if there is a leak.
Check the intensity of the burner’s flame turning the knob of the gas valve from the little to the
big flame.
Make sure that during the ignition the flame is widespread everywhere in the burner and that it
has a steady deep blue color.

4.4 IGNITION OF THE BURNER (Fig. 8)
It is recommended the burners to be switched on beginning from the bottom to the top and not the
other way round for better roasting. In order to switch on a burner press slightly inboard the knob
of the gas valve (No 6, Fig. 8) and turn anticlockwise (left), until the position that is the reading of
MAX. At this position keep well pressed the button while at the same time you are pressing the
corresponding button of the lighter (No 7, Fig. 8) according of the instructions of paragraph 4.3.
At the first time of the operation of the device you may have to repeat the previous procedure so
as to achieve the vaporization of the air that exists inside the burner.
When the burner ignites keep the button pressed inside for 10 seconds so that the thermocouple to
be heated, so that it keeps the flame of the burner on.
In order to reduce the intensity of the burner’s flame turn the knob of the gas valve at the position
MIN of the little flame.
4.5 TURNING THE BURNER OFF
Always, the burners have to be switched off beginning from the top to the bottom.
The burner would stop functioning when you turn the gas valve right (clockwise), until the position
that the fire of the burner stops. By this way you stop the gas supply to the burner.
4.6 PUTTING THE INOX SPIT (Fig. 9)
The device has to be switched off during the time that you place the spit with the meat on the
machine.
You place the spit with the meat inside the bottom support base (Νο 5, Fig. 9) and at the same
time you pull up the top round disk (No 4, Fig. 8) you place the spit in its place and then you pull
down the top round disk.
ATTENTION !!!
Before to operate your machine do a double check that the spit is well inside its position and
none of the top or bottom spit´s supports move.
4.7 DISTANCE REGULATION FROM THE BURNERS
In order to regulate the distance of the burners from the spit you have to pull out the
movement mechanism (No 1 Fig. 8) the main body will move back or in front at the distance
you wish.
You can as well regulate the distance of the spit by unscrewing the top fixing handle (No 3, Fig.
8) and moving the top disk back or in front to the desired position.
4.8 MOTOR´S FUNCTION
In order to begin motor´s function you have to push the button of the motor (No 2, Fig. 8) at the
position ON.
4.9 INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE CLEANUP OF THE DEVICE (Fig. 9)
In no case should you clean the device with a flow of water or with a potent acid.
The use of acid might inflict rust to the metallic surfaces.
The cleanup must be done only when the device is cold and with disconnected the power supply.
It is necessary to clean the device after each operation.
You can clean the device with a sponge using only special products for stainless surfaces.
14
You can first put off and clean all the movable parts of your machine (See Fig. 9).
Remove the spit (No 4, Fig. 9).
Remove the doors (No 2, Fig. 9) if exist.
Remove the burners’ protection net (No 1, Fig. 9).
Remove the spit’s support mechanism (No 5 & 6, Fig. 9).
Pull out the collector (No 3, Fig. 9).
Wash and clean the moveable parts of your appliance and after set them back to their positions.
WARNING !!!
Do not direct jets of water, against the appliance to prevent any water entering in the components.
No water with or without pressure should be used underneath the machine where is the motor
and all the electric connections.
4.10 MAINTENANCE
The correct operation of your appliance is guaranteed only if these instructions are followed
carefully.
Any repairs or maintenance operations must be performed only by qualified technicians.
We recommend having the appliance controlled at least once a year, for this purpose it is advisable
to apply for a service contract.
Keep the thermocouple constantly clean and treat them carefully.
