Conversion to LP
If the appliance is to be converted to LP gas do the conversion at this point. See the conversion section of these instructions.
Gas Connection
The Gas supply needs to terminate with a down facing bayonet. The rear cover boxes limit the position of the supply point.
Levelling
You are recommended to use a spirit level on a shelf in one of the ovens to check for level.
Place the cooker in its intended position taking care not to twist it within the gap between the kitchen units as damage may occur to the cooker or the units.
The front feet and rear rollers can be adjusted to level the cooker. To adjust the height of the rear of the cooker use the levelling tool supplied to turn the adjusting nuts at the front bottom corners of the cooker. To set the front feet turn the bases to raise or lower.
Gas Connection
Fitting a stability bracket
A stability bracket or chain (not supplied by with the cooker) should be fitted when the cooker is connected to a flexible gas supply. Any restraining device should be secured to the fabric of the building and should be able to be released so that the cooker can be pulled out for cleaning and maintenance.
When fitting a stability bracket read these instructions together with the leaflet supplied with the bracket.
a)Position and level the appliance.
b)Draw a pencil line 70mm from the front edge of the levelling feet.
c)Mark off 350mm from the RH side of the unit to indicate the centre line for the bracket.
d)Remove the range.
e)Mark off 500mm to locate the front edge of the lower bracket. Fix bracket to floor.
f)Measure the height from floor level to the top edge of the rear channel. Add 3mm to this dimension and assemble the stability bracket to this height (i.e. from floor level to underside of top member)

Because the height of the cooker can be adjusted and each connection is different it is difficult to give precise dimensions. Ideally the house supply bayonet should be in the shaded area shown in the diagram. The hose should be fitted so that both inlet and outlet connections are vertical so that the hose hangs downwards.
The hose should be fitted so that both inlet and outlet connections are vertical so that the hose hangs downwards in a ‘U’ shape.
In the UK:
For Natural Gas the flexible hose must be in accordance with BS 669.
For LP Gas it should be capable of 50mbar pressure, 70°C temperature rise and carry a red stripe, band or label.
Although a 900 mm hose can be used, a 1250 mm hose will allow slightly more flexibility in the positioning of the bayonet and make moving the cooker easier. If in doubt contact, your supplier.
In the Republic of Ireland:
Consult IS 813 for details of connection requirements.
Screw connect the threaded end of the hose into the gas inlet in the underside of the connector block on the back of the cooker.
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 specifically manufactured for leak detection.
Pressure testing
The gas pressure can be measured at the pressure test point on the gas connection block.
