GAS CONVERSION (fig. 17)
This operation must be performed by
authorised personnel using original Sime
components.
To convert from natural gas to LPG or vice
versa, perform the following operations
–Close the gas cock.
–Replace the two differential nozzles (1-2)
and relative seal o-rings (3) with those
supplied in the transformation kit. The dif-
ference in the shape of the head of the
nozzles, avoid reversal during assembly.
–Apply the nameplate with the new gas
flow layout.
–Calibrate the maximum and minimum
pressures of the gas valve following the
instructions provided in paragraph 4.2.2.
