Gas connection (Fig. 11)
Connect the appliance to the gas cylinder or to the installation according to the prescribed
standards in force, and ensure beforehand, that the appliance matches the type of gas
available. Other wise, see ”Adaptation to various types of gas”. Further more, check that the
feed pressure fall swithin the values described on the table: ”User chacteristics”.
Fig. 11
There are two ways to carry out the connection to the main gas line:
A. The hotplate can be connected with rigid pipe as specified in AS/NZS5601.
B. The hotplate can be connected with a Flexible Hose, which complies with
AS/NZS 1869 (Australian Certified), 10mm ID, class B or D, no more than 1.2m long and
in accordance with AS/NZS 5601. Ensure that the Hose does not contact the hot surfaces
of the hotplate, oven, dishwasher or other appliance that may be installed underneath or
next to the hotplate. WARNING: Ensure that the hose assembly is restrained from accidental
contact with the flue or flue outlet of an underbench oven. The hose should not be subjected
to abrasion, kinking or permanent deformation and should be able to be inspected along its
entire length. Unions compatible with the hose fittings must be used and connections tested
for gas leaks. The supply connection point shall be accessible with the appliance installed.
The hose assembly shall be suitable for connection to a fixed consumer piping outlet
located at a point 800mm to 850mm above the floor and in a region outside the width
of the appliance to a distance of 250mm.
Adaptation to varius types of gas (Fig. 12)
Should
the appliance be pre-set for a different type of gas than available, procreed as
follows:
•
replace the
injector
(Fig.
13)
with the corresponding type of gas to be used
(see
table
“User characteristics“);
•
to
adjust
to the minimum, use a screwdriver on the screw placed on the tap
(Fig.
13)
after
turning the tap to its minimum position. For GPL (butane/propane) screw tight.
