Fixing and use of the 2 clips provided
with the cooker
The enclosed gas hose fixing clips must be fixed
to the back of the cooker, dependant on the
position of the supply bayonet connector (see
fig.).
When selecting the most suitable position for the
clips, please ensure that the gas hose cannot
come into contact with any part of the “Hot zone”
(indicated by the shaded areas on the illustration)
when pushing the cooker into its final position.
Finally, secure the hose into the clips.
Rigid Connection
Where it is not possible to make the connection
using a rubber hose, a rigid pipe work
connection must be used.
Recommendations when using an appliance
flexible connector are as follows:
- For NATURAL the gas installation pipes to the
termination point shall comply with:
Specification for installation of low-pressure
gas pipe work of up to 20mm (R1) in
domestic premises (2nd family gas) – BS
6891;
Connection shall be by means of an appliance
flexible connector for use with a self-sealing
plug-in device, complying with:
Flexible hoses, end fittings and sockets for
gas burning appliances – BS 669;
- The appliance flexible connector should not
be subjected to undue forces either in
normal use or whilst connected or
disconnected; The socket which the plug of
the appliance flexible connector fits should
be permanently attached to a firmly fixed
gas installation pipe and positioned such
that the appliance flexible connector hose
hangs freely downwards (see fig.);
- The appliance flexible connector should be
positioned such that it will not suffer
mechanical damage, e.g. abrasion from the
surrounding kitchen furniture, which may be
moved in use such as a drawer or door, or
by being trapped by any stability device.
The plug-in-connector bayonet should be
accessible for disconnection after moving
the appliance.
