Installation instructions

Connecting the cooker to the gas supply

The gas connection must be carried out by an authorised person according to the relevant standards.

Before connecting the appliance to the gas main, mount the brass conical adaptor onto the gas inlet pipe, upon which the washer has been placed (see Fig.s 11-12 following).

Conical adaptor and washer are supplied with the appliance (packed with conversion kit for use with Natural gas or LPG).

This appliance is suitable for use with Natural gas or LPG. (Check the “gas type” sticker attached to the appliance).

For Natural gas, connect the gas supply to the gas pressure regulator which is supplied with the appliance (Fig.12). Adjust the regulator to obtain a test point pressure of 1 kPa with the two semi-rapid burners operating at the maximum.

For LPG, connect the gas supply to the test point adaptor which is supplied with the appliance (Fig.11). Ensure that the supply pressure is regulated to 2.75 kPa.

The connection must be made at the rear of appliance (left or right); the pipe is not to cross the cooker.

Close off the unused inlet with the cap and sealing washer supplied (Fig. 13). IMPORTANT: Use two spanners to tighten or loosen the connecting pipe (Fig.13).

Installation with a flexible hose assembly

If this appliance has to be installed with a hose assembly, the installer shall refer to the network operator or gas supplier for confirmation of the gas type, if in doubt.

When used with a flexible hose, the connector on the wall should be between 450 mm to 500

mmfrom the floor and 200 mm to 300 mm from the left-hand side of the appliance as viewed from the front. The hose connection on the appliance shall face downwards.

It is important that the hose does not come in contact with the metal of the appliance and is secured as per appropriate gas installation codes. A chain 80% of the length of the flexible gas hose must be used to prevent stress being applied to the hose. The chain should be attached securely to the product where shown (see Fig.13), and on the wall.

Flexible hose assemblies should be AS/NZS 1869 Class B or Class D certified. The thread connection shall be Rp ½” (ISO 7-1) male.

Important!

After connection the installer must check that the hose is not kinked, subjected to abrasion or permanently deformed. The installer must check also that the hose is not near or in contact with any hot surfaces.

The hose assembly shall be as short as practicable and comply with relevant AS5601 / NZS5261 requirements.
