Pre-payment meters

[Robert Tyrrell]

I've got to install a BEKO freestanding cooker tomorrow and I noticed that it's on a prepayment meter. Thing is that I've forgotten how you do the gas rate on this kind of meter and I can't find it in the GSR TB pages so can anyone help?

I'd also like to know what you do if there's no user manual and benchmark for the commissioning of a cooker as this guy bought it via flabby and there's nothing with it even though it's brand new.
Cheers

the one with a and b buttons or the one with digi nub pad?

 

[Robert Tyrrell]

The one with the A & B buttons - I didn't even know there was another type

Have a look at tb112

And

Press A to turn the screen on, then press A again to display the reading. Press A for the first time about 30 seconds before you need your accurate reading. Then with 10 seconds to go press B to update it

I took ShaunCorbs advice and I downloaded TB112. It's all in there. Here's the bit you need though

how accurate do you find them, because they jump so much I never trust the results

I take them with a pinch of salt if there about the same kW as the boiler your fine ( normally can get them within 1-2kw)

Normally customers have a smart meter.... You can normally check how much kW the boiler is running on DHW via the monitor.
