INSTALLING24

Checking gas pressures

The cooker MUST be installed in compliance with:

•The Installation Code for Gas Burning Appliances and Equipment – AS 5601/AG 601 – issued by

Standards Australia (Particular reference to sections 4.8 & 5.12.1).

•Local gas fitting regulations, municipal building codes and other statutory regulations.

The cookers come in two gas types: Natural gas and Propane. Before installation check that the cooker is suitable for the gas supply. To do this check the gas type on the carton sticker or on the data plate behind the bottom of the oven door.

The following table shows the supply and operating pressures for various gas supplies.

GAS TYPE	NATURAL GAS	PROPANE
Supply Pressure	1.13 (kPa)	2.75* (kPa)
at inlet to appliance	Minimum
regulator (if fitted)
Operating Pressure	1.00 (kPa)	2.75 (kPa)
at appliance test point

*If the regulator is placed upstream of the cooker inlet, as is normal for cookers operating on Propane, then the supply pressure and operating pressure are the same.

The following table shows the injector sizes for each burner.

INJECTOR ORIFICE	NATURAL GAS	PROPANE
Low Heat Burner	1.00 mm	0.62 mm
Medium Heat Burner	1.35 mm	0.82 mm
High Heat Burner	1.60 mm	0.95 mm
