Gas Connection
To Connect the Gas Supply
1. Connect the gas supply to the gas inlet at the rear of the cooker. The gas hose must hang in a “U” shape
behind the cooker.
2. Undertake a full gas tightness test.
3. To avoid damage to the appliance gas rail inlet pipe tighten the fittings using two suitable spanners.
4. Using a suitable leak detection fluid solution check each gas connection one at a time by brushing the
solution over the connection. The presence of bubbles will indicate a leak. If there is a leak, tighten the
fitting and then recheck for leaks.
• Only a suitably qualified and Gas Safe Registered Engineer may convert the appliance to
a different gas type.
• When using Butane (G30) gas a supply pressure of 28 -30 mbar is required.
• When using Propane (G31) gas a supply pressure of 37 mbar is required.
• Flexible hoses must be manufactured in accordance with BS669 part 1 and be of the correct
construction for the type of gas being used.
• Gas hoses designed for natural gas MUST NOT be used for supplying LPG gas (LPG gas hoses
can be identified by a either a red band or stripe on the rubber outer coating of the hose).
• The hose should not be crushed or trapped or be in contact with sharp or abrasive edges.
It should also not be subjected to corrosion by acidic cleansing agents.
Do not use a naked flame to test for leaks.
The installation of the cooker to Natural Gas or LP Gas (using the LPG conversion kit supplied) must be carried
out by a Gas Safe registered engineer. Installers must take account of the provisions of the relevant British
Standards Code of Practice, the Gas Safety Regulations and the Building Regulations.
Note: It is recommended that the gas connection to the cooker is installed with a flexible connecting tube made
to BS669.
Installation Relevant to Natural Gas
Installation to Natural Gas must conform to the Industry Standards, etc. The supply pressure for Natural Gas
is 20 mbar.
Installation Relevant to Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG)
This appliance must only be connected to LPG
after the supplied LPG conversion kit has been
fitted. The installation must conform to the
relevant British Standards.
During gas connection and re-connection,
a sealing material that is either
• PTFE tape approved to BS EN 751-3;
• Or jointing compound suitable for
Natural Gas complying to BS 6956-5 or BS EN 751-1
should be used between connection surfaces.
