be fitted and is available from your supplier (see
Important Safety Requirements). These instructions
should be read in conjunction with any leaflet packed
with the stability chain.
1. Place the appliance in its intended position and
level appliance.
2. Mark a position 100mm from the top of the rear
right hand corner.
3. Measure down 150mm from this point. This
gives the position of the wall anchor point for the
stability chain.
4. The stability chain anchor point on the appliance
is shown in the diagram Fig. 4.
PRESSURE TESTING

point.
2. Connect the pressure gauge to the Rapid

and light the appropriate burner. The pressure
should be either:-
(i) For Natural Gas 20mbar
(ii) For LP. Gas. The pressure must be set to
29 mbar for use on butane or 37 mbar for
