Installing the Cooker

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.
