When a gas appliance is being used it produces heat and humidity in the room where it is installed.
For this reason the room must be well ventilated, keeping the natural ventilation openings free (fig. 6)
and switching on the mechanical aeration system (suction hood or electric fan, Figs. 7 and 8).
If the cooker is used for a long time additional aeration may be necessary, for instance, opening a
window, or a more effective aeration by increasing the power of the mechanical system if there is
one.
Gas connection
Install in accordance with relevant gas standards and/or codes of practice
applicable.
Connect the elbow fitting to the appliance gas manifold connection, and check that
seals between the elbow and manifold connection are in place and in good
condition.
For Natural gas: connect the natural gas appliance regulator (pictured opposite) with
integral test point using approved gas thread tape or compound to the elbow fitting.
For Universal LPG: connect the brass test point adaptor (pictured opposite) using
approved gas thread tape or compound to the elbow fitting.
Ensure the supply connection point, test point and natural gas regulator adjustment
screw (for Natural gas installation) are accessible for testing and/or adjustment with
the hotplate in the installed position.
Where a flexible hose assembly is used, ensure it is approved to AS/NZS 1869,
Class B. Any hose assembly used must be restrained from accidental contact with
the flue outlet of an under bench oven. This hose assembly shall be suitable for
connection to a fixed consumer piping outlet located as follows:
Hotplates at a point 800 mm to 850 mm above the floor and in the region outside the
width of the appliance to a distance of 250 mm.
After connecting to gas, check for leaks using soapy solution, never a naked flame.
Fit the duplicate data plate (supplied in separate bag) on a surface adjacent to the hotplate, for example, the inside
of the cupboard door so it is clearly visible for any service technician.
