Hotpoint HW150GW, HW170GK, HW170GW manual Gas connection, Connecting the gas supply

Gas connection

The cooker should be connected to the gas-supply by a corgi registered installer. During installation of this product it is essential to fit an approved gas tap to isolate the supply from the appliance for the convenience of any subsequent removal or servicing. Connection of the appliance to the gas mains or liquid gas must be carried out according to the prescribed regulation in force, and only after it is ascertained that it is adaptable to the type of gas to be used. If not, follow the instructions indicated in the paragraph headed “Adaptation to different gas types”. On some models the gas supply can be connected on the left or on the right, as necessary; to change the connection, reverse the position of the hose holder with that of the cap and replace the gasket (supplied with the appliance). In the case of connection to liquid gas, by tank, use pressure regulators that conform to the regulation in force. The gas supply must be connected to the left of the appliance. Be sure that the hose does not pass through the rear of the cooker touching hot parts.

Important: make sure the supply pressure conforms with the values shown in the table entitled “Caracteristics of the burners and nozzles”. When the cooker is installed between cabinets (recessed), the gas connection must be effected by an approved flexible hose with bayonet fitting (BS 669 Current Edition).The gas inlet for the cookers is a threaded G 1/2 gas female fitting.

To make the connection, a flexible hose should be used corresponding to the current gas regulations which are:

•the hose must never be at any point in its lenght in contact with the “hot” parts of the cooker;

•the hose must never be longer than 1,5 metre;

•the hose must not be subject to any tension or torsional stress and it must not have any excessively narrow curves or bottlenecks;

•the hose must be easy to inspect along its entire length to check its condition;

•the hose must always be in good condition, never attempt to repair.

Important: the installation must comply with gas safety (installation and use) regulations 1984. In all cases for the above, by low, a qualified, corgi approved engineer must be called for installation.
