Hi All,
I'm hoping that someone here has some experience with gas hobs?
Whilst away this weekend, our gas regulator failed and delivered unregulated (cylinder pressure) Camping Gas to the Techimpex 2 ring gas hob in our S38. I pressed the ring control knob in preparation to light it, and the gas pressure from the jet nearly blew my hat off so needless to say, the match didn't get struck!
I replaced the regulator which sorted the problem, but now when I light the rings, they don't stay lit when I release the control knobs.
The flames seem (very) slightly less lively than they were previously … but the thermocouples are fully engulfed in the flames and the fail-safe devices seem to operate ok (I can hear them click a few seconds after the flames go out).
Does anyone have any idea what's going on here … could the excess gas pressure have damaged the controls in some way?
Thanks in advance.
Steve
