Instructions for the installer
Windows and permanent vents should therefore not be blocked or removed without first consulting a Corgi gas installer.
Failure to install appliances correctly is dangerous and could lead to prosecution.
L.P.G. cookers MUST NOT be installed below ground level i.e. in a basement or aboard any boat, yacht or other vessel.
12.5 Gas connection
We recommend checking that the appliance is properly set up for the type of gas distributed. The threaded ½" gas connection pipe is located at the rear on the right hand side of the appliance.
The cooker is designed to match the depth of standard 600mm worktops. A bayonet connector should, therefore, be fitted within the shaded area shown to allow the cooker to be pushed in fully and secured to the wall with a stability chain.
Connection to the cooker should be made with an approved appliance flexible connection to BS 669. A length of 0.9 to 1.25m is recommended. The length of hose chosen should be such that when the cooker is in position, the hose does not touch the floor.
The temperature rise of areas at the rear of the cooker that are likely to come in contact with the flexible hose do not exceed 70°C.
