GAS CONNECTION
!
Power Voltage Danger of Electrocution
► After carrying out any operation, check that the tightening torque of gas connections is between 10 Nm and 15 Nm.
► If required, use a pressure regulator that complies with cur-rent regulations.
► At the end of the installation, check for any leaks with a soapy solution, never with a flame.
► Installation with flexible hose must be carried out so that the length of the piping does not exceed 1,2 metres when fully
extended; make sure that the hoses do not come into con-tact with moving parts and that they are not crushed in any
way.
► The hoses should not come into contact with moving parts and should not be crushed in any way.
General informations
This appliance is suitable for installation with Natural Gas or ULPG (propane/butane). Refer to “Burner and nozzle
characteristics table” paragraph for the relevant burner pressure and appropriate injector sizes. When the appliance is to
be connected to Natural Gas then the pressure regulator supplied must be fitted to the gas inlet. A test point (for checking
the gas pressure) is supplied either with the regulator or as a separate fitting in the case of ULPG (propane) appliances.
Connection of the appliance to the gas supply must be in accordanc with the
requirements of AS5601. A ½” BSP connector at the inlet is recommended and
the gas supply line to the appliance must be of adequate length to allow sufficient
withdrawal of appliance for service or disconnection and be:
1. annealed copper pipe or;
2. flexible hose according to AS/NZ1869 & be at least Class “B”, 10 mm diameter.
The appliance must be installed with provision to allow the gas to be turned off
and disconnected for servicing and removal of the appliance as required from
the gas supply. Before the appliance is operated make certain all relevant parts
are placed in the correct position.
On completion of the installation, the installer MUST check for gas leaks and test
each burner individually for the correct flame. Once all burners have been tested
individually, turn all burners on together. Warranty service calls do not cover
these adjustments!
To check the operating pressure of the appliance it is recommended at least 2
large size burners are used. Ensure appliance is secured to wall when installation
is completed.
► N.G. The regulator supplied must be fitted to the ½ BSP thread at the rear of
the appliance. An approved manual shut-off valve must be installed. The N.G.
regulator must be checked and adjusted to 1.0kPa after installation.
► U.L.P.G. Can be connected to the inlet fitting directly. The pres-sure must
be checked to ensure it is operating at 2.75kPa. A separate test point fitting
must be installed between the piping & the appliance for the pressure to be
checked to ensure it is operating at 2.75kPa.
