You did not think all would be well in one go, did you? Of course you didn't. And with reason, as it did not. The burners burned, but what this whole things was about fo me: small flames, and very low burners: nope. The control range was very bad. Big flames yes, small flames no. We could have kept the old Boretti. *snirf* *boohoo*.
But, the Boretti had small control screws under the gas valves to set the smallest flames. our lovely, wonderful, great and wonderful beautiful Atag in NL had those too, so this one probably as well. Yes. Small screws near the gas valves. So the glass cover needs to be removed yet again. Forth time. screw screw screw, sigh.
You need to turn the bypass screw all the way in for butane, and extend it for natural gas. Of course they were extended, for natural gas. Lucky I have a Torx screwdriver, the very same that was used to open Macintosh 30 years ago.
After putting back the glass cover and the burners you need to reset the hob. Remove the plug, put the right gas valve to '9', plug in the plug, set the gas valve to '0', and the display changes to 5 times 'C' for calibration. And then, finally, it works okay.
I hope to have taken apart and re-assembled this thing for the very last time, as the intimacy with this gas hob's innards start to bother me.
If you would like to admire our nice copper gas conduits and valve, do scroll down.
Question remains: would there be people that have had their gas hob converted to butane properly? The technicians here have no clue how to do this. It can't be right that buyers have to adjust the internals of their newly bought gas appliances?
Pervert!
