Lincat GS7pFL [9/12] Servicing

IS212 ECN3592

SERVICING

Gas catering equipment should be routinely serviced to ensure a long trouble-free life. With this in mind, it is

recommended that a competent gas engineer service the appliances every 6 months.

Please see page 12 “Service” for information on authorised service agents.

3.1 GENERAL SERVICE

 General check of the equipment, e.g. installation - is the unit on the correct hose? Does the hose have

a safety chain? Does the equipment have a separate isolation valve?

 To access the valve/s, pull off the knobs and remove screws from the facia panel.

 Lower the fascia panel to reveal the valves.

 Check and adjust where necessary the burner pressure at the test nipple, with the unit in full

operation.

 Check the general burner condition.

 Check the thermocouple/s for sooting etc. and clean. Check for correct operating distance (3mm

from the centre of the thermocouple to the burner face).

 Carryout a gas soundness check.

 Refit the fascia panel and the control knob/s.

3.2 COMPONENT REPLACEMENT.

Note: When removing the control knob care must be taken not to lose the spring clip.

3.2.1 Thermocouple

 Remove the fat drawer, control knobs and fascia panel.

 Remove the rear panel.

 Slide the hob top / griddle plate backwards and lift off. This assembly is very heavy and Lincat

advises this is a two-person job.

 Loosen the thermocouple-retaining nut at the valve.

 Loosen the retaining nuts on the thermocouple body.

 Withdraw the thermocouple from the bracket.

 Refitting is the reverse of the above.

 Check for correct operating distance (3mm from the centre of the thermocouple to the burner

face).

3.2.2 Control Valve

 Remove knobs and fascia panel.

 Remove the thermocouple from the back of the valve.

 Loosen the nuts to burner feed pipe.

 Loosen the valve retaining screws.

 Fit the new valve and thermocouple and leak test the unit.

 Check the gas pressure.

Note: The control valve has been factory pre-set and therefore it should not be necessary to adjust the

low flame setting.

3.2.4 Burner

 Remove knobs and fascia panel.

 Remove the rear panel.

 Slide the hob top / griddle plate backwards and lift off. This assembly is very heavy and Lincat

advises this is a two-person job.
