INSTALLATION

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

another hose, it is still mandatory to fit the stability bracket and restraining chain.

After completing the gas connection, ensure that the cooker is gas sound with a pressure test (see the following sections).

When checking for gas leaks, do not use washing up liquid - this can corrode. Use a product specifically manufactured for leak detection.

Natural Gas

The adjustable spring loaded governor is pre-set to give a nominal pressure of 1kPa on NG. Connect to the Rp 1/2 inlet on the underside of the governor (just above B on the previous figure).

Jets

Standard burner Wok burner

A jet, B internal injector, C external injector

Remove the burner caps and heads. Remove the old jets and then fit the new jets. Re-assemble in reverse order.

Pressure testing for Natural Gas

Pull the cooker forward, if necessary, to gain access to the rear of the cooker. The gas pressure test point is accessible on the connector block that comes out of the governor at the top rear of the cooker.

Remove the test nipple screw and fit a pressure gauge to the test point. Turn on and light two of the hotplate burners.

See the data badge and the Technical Data section at the back of this book for test pressures.

Conversion from Natural Gas to LP Gas

Check in the Technical Data section at the back of the book that the cooker is convertible to the type of LPG (Liquid Petroleum Gas) that you want to use, typically Propane.

This cooker is supplied ready for use on natural gas. A conversion kit for propane gas is supplied with the cooker. Any conversion to propane must be performed by a competent person. Following conversion, the installation must comply with the relevant regulations and also the local electricity supply company requirements.

Read the instructions before converting the appliance. Failure to convert the appliance correctly could invalidate any warranty or liability claims and lead to prosecution.

Before servicing or replacing gas-carrying components, disconnect the cooker from the gas connection before commencing operation. You should also disconnect it from the electricity supply to allow the servicing of items that connect to the electricity supply, e.g. the fascia panel.

Do not use re-conditioned or unauthorised gas controls.

Tap Adjustment

If the hand rail has been fitted, remove it by removing the plastic blanking plugs, followed by the two end bracket fixing screws.

Remove the two cross- headed screws that were hidden by the hand rail end brackets.

Open the oven door and grill door and remove the fixing screws underneath the control panel.

Lower the fascia panel clear of the top retaining tags.
