The leaflet says theyre so it can be ran on propane for caravan use.
sadly ive lost the instruction book it came with and only have the leaflet that shows how to swap the burners over.
if theres anyone here that knows about gas cookers.
how would I go about connecting it to a propane tank.
obviously id need a regulator, and hose.
do I just cut off the old connector and put on the regulator valve
or do I have to do anything else....
usually those brass thingies are the nozzles for the different gas type. since the propane gas is most potent, the nozzles with the smallest hole are the right ones.
often there is number stamped on spare nozzle, the smaller the number the more potent gas this nozzle is intended for.
spanner is for changing the nozzles.
as a rule you have to adjust the air flow throttle every time you change the gas supplier or the nozzles with the type of the gas.
throttle is usually a cylindrical piece of sheet metal around the nozzle covering the air intake to the burner and it has a slot for stopper screw for adjusting.
air flow is adjusted like this:
flame has to be blue in colour with the little yellow or orange coloured tips. and if the nozzle is right the height of the flame in the minimum power position should be about 2 cm high, no more.
if there is only weak blue colour - there is too much air and the burning is unstable. move the throttle a little bit (couple of mm) towards covering the air intake and try again.
if the flame is too bright yellow - there is lack of air in the fuel-oxygen mixture and it is going to create smoke and soot. move the throttle a little bit off the burner air intake.
is this one burner cooker or several burners (2 or 4) cooker you have?
in case of multiple burners with the different sizes of burners you have to be especially careful about the nozzles.
