Gas Connection

INSTALLATION

Check the appliance is electrically safe and gas sound when you have ￿nished.

Gas Connection

Must be in accordance with the relevant standards.

The gas supply needs to terminate with a down-facing threaded ￿tting ½” connection. The inlet connector is located just below the hotplate level at the rear of the cooker.

Because the height of the cooker can be adjusted and each connection is di￿erent it is di￿cult to give precise dimensions. Ideally, the house supply connection should be in the shaded area (Fig.7-9).

Means of isolation must be provided at the supply point by either an approved quick-connect device or a Type 1 manual shut-o￿valve.

The hose should be ￿tted so that both inlet and outlet connections are vertical so that the hose hangs downwards in a ‘U’ shape (Fig.7-9).

A ￿exible connection is supplied with the cooker. If it is necessary to use another hose it must be to AS 1869 Class B and be suitable for your gas type.

If in doubt contact your supplier. Screw connect the threaded end of the hose into the gas inlet.

After completing the gas connection, check the cooker is gas sound with a pressure test. When checking for gas leaks do not use washing up liquid – this can corrode. Use a product speci￿cally manufactured for leak detection.

Natural Gas

The adjustable spring loaded gas pressure regulator is present to give a nominal pressure of 1 kPa on Natural gas. Connect to the Rp ½ inlet on the underside of the pressure regulator.

Propane

This cooker is supplied ready for use on Natural gas. A conversion kit for Propane as is supplied with the cooker – see the ‘Conversion to Propane Gas’ section.

Pressure Testing

The pressure test point is accessible on the inlet pipe at the rear. Remove the test nipple screw and ￿t a pressure gauge to the test point. Turn on and light two of the hotplate burners.

For Natural gas cookers the pressure should be 1 kPa. For Propane X cookers the pressure should be 2.54 kPa.
