🔧 How to Safely Change the Gas Nozzle on Your AMPTO Pasta Cooker

Changing the gas nozzle on your AMPTO Pasta Cooker is a critical maintenance procedure—whether you're switching between natural gas and propane or replacing a worn-out nozzle. This task must be done with precision and care to ensure safe operation and optimal performance.

⚠️ Why Gas Nozzle Replacement Matters

Gas nozzles regulate the flow of fuel to the burner. Using the wrong nozzle or installing it incorrectly can lead to:

• Incomplete combustion, which produces carbon monoxide.
• Poor flame control, affecting cooking efficiency.
• Gas leaks, which pose serious fire and explosion risks.

For these reasons, only trained technicians or qualified personnel should perform this procedure. Always follow manufacturer guidelines and local safety codes.

🛠️ Step-by-Step Guide to Changing the Nozzle

Here’s a simplified overview of the process. 

1. Turn Off the Gas Supply

Before starting, shut off the gas supply completely. Wait several minutes to ensure all residual gas has dissipated.

2. Access the Burner Assembly

Remove the panels or covers to expose the burner and nozzle. Refer to your AMPTO model’s manual for specific instructions 

3. Remove the Old Nozzle

Using a wrench, carefully unscrew the existing nozzle. Avoid damaging the threads or surrounding components.

4. Install the New Nozzle

Screw in the correct replacement nozzle for your gas type (natural gas or propane). Tighten securely but do not over-torque.

5. Test for Leaks

Apply a soap solution to the connection and turn on the gas briefly. Bubbles indicate a leak—tighten or reseal as needed.

6. Adjust the Flame

Once installed, ignite the burner and adjust the flame to ensure it’s blue and steady. A yellow or flickering flame may indicate improper installation.

🔒 Safety First

• Never modify the cooker outside manufacturer specifications
• Use approved regulators 
• Do not operate the unit dry—always ensure water is in the tank before turning it on 
• Professional installation is mandatory for warranty and safety compliance.
