Does a gas hob need adjustment?

[Rampage]

I can't get into the gas forum so thought I'd post here.
If a new gas hob is installed does it need any adjustment or is it a case of connecting the gas supply and that it?
Don't worry it's not something that being done by me!

No

Then don't worry about it.

If you are not gas registered then you should not be surprised that you cannot access the Combustion Chamber part of this site!

If you have a question about fitting a gas hob then ask whoever you get to fit it!

Your question is typical of what can be expected by someone comtemplating a DIY job!

That's the answer I needed, thanks very much.

NO is not strictly true although cookers /hobs should come out of the factory set .
Some have a little adjuster screw on the gas tap so that when on low flame the gas doesnt go out.
But its a simple check the guy fitting it will have done without you even noticing

Ok, thanks.
I'd read in the paper that on some gas products (probably boilers) it needs adjusting to prevent carbon monoxide. I wasn't sure if this would apply to a gas hob too.

I'm a qualified electrician so understand why people are suspicious!

All gas cookers give off carbon monoxide to some degree but not usually to what is regarded as dangerous levels
