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. Means of
isolation must be provided at the supply point by either
an approved quick-connect device or a Type 1 manual
shut-off valve. The hose should be fitted so that both
inlet and outlet connections are vertical so that the
hose hangs downwards in a ‘U’ shape.
The connector is located just below the hotplate level
at the rear of the cooker.
A flexible connection is supplied with the cooker. If it is
necessary to use another hose it must be to A.S. 1869
class B and suitable for your gas type. If in doubt
contact, your supplier.
To prevent strain on the connections to the cooker the
restraining chain should be used. Securely fix the
supplied wall bracket to the fabric of the building and
clip the supplied restraining chain to the bracket.
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.
Natural Gas
The adjustable spring loaded governor is pre-set to
give a nominal pressure of 1kPa on NG. Connect to the
Rp

/

inlet on the underside of the governor.
Propane
This cooker is supplied ready for use on natural gas. A
conversion kit for Propane is supplied with the cooker -
see the conversion instructions in the next section.
Pressure testing
Pull the cooker forward, if necessary, to gain access to
the rear.
The pressure test point is accessible on the connector
block at the upper right hand rear. Remove the test
nipple screw and fit a pressure gauge to the test point.
See Technical data section at the back of this book for
test pressures.
Electrical Connection
This appliance must be installed by a qualified
electrician to comply with the relevant regulations
and also the local electricity supply company
requirements.
Make sure that the mains characteristics (voltage,
nominal, power, etc.) match the ratings indicated on
the data plate affixed to the lower right hand cooker
upright (remove storage drawer). The cooker is preset
for a single-phase earthed electrical connection. It is
essential to install a multi-pole circuit breaker that
completely disconnects the appliance from the mains,
with a minimum contact break distance of 3mm.
WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
The appliance must be connected to an efficient
earthing circuit. If the electricity network is not
equipped with an earth connection, then it must be
installed separately in compliance with local
regulations. Earthing is a safety measure required by
law, and must be performed with particular care by a
qualified technician, who must also check that the
electricity supply characteristics are correct.
The cable size used should be suitable for the
appliance load and in accordance with local
regulations. Please note the maximum cable sizes are
6mm
2
for the screw terminals and 10mm
2
for the 3
pronged links.
Access to the mains terminal is gained by removing the
electrical terminal cover box on the back panel.
Connect the mains cable to the correct terminals for
your electrical supply type (see fig.). You may need to
move the links to suit you connection type. Check that
the links are correctly fitted and that the terminal
screws are tight. Secure the mains cable using the
cable clamp.
