Gas Connection
The gas supply needs to terminate with a down facing
bayonet. The rear cover boxes limit the position of the
supply point.
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 in a ‘U’
shape. A 3ft hose will need to be connected from the side.
For Natural gas the flexible hose must be in accordance
with BS 269.
For LP gas it should be capable of 50mbar pressure, 70ºC
temperature rise and carry a red stripe, band or label.
If in doubt contact your supplier.
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 fish kettle
burner jet. Make sure that the cooker is not connected to
the electricity supply. Lift off the burner head. Fit the
pressure gauge to the jet. Turn on one of the other burners
and light it with a match. Turn on the control for the fish
kettle burner and press in the knob to allot the gas through
and register the pressure on the gauge.
For Natural gas cookers the pressure should be 20mbar.
For LP gas (propane) the pressure should be 37mbar.
Re-assemble the burner top, making sure it is re-
assembled in the correct way on the burner body.
