6.2.2 Planning the gas installation
Rules for safe gas installation of the appliances
Observe the following rules to prevent hazards caused by faulty gas connections:
The combi steamer is supplied from the factory for operation with a defined gas type (see appli‐
ance type plate). In order to operate the combi steamer using different gas types, a qualified mem‐
ber of staff from an authorized service company must first convert the combi steamer.
After connecting to the gas supply and after any subsequent operation on gas-carrying compo‐
nents, always check for leaks at every connection point and supply point to gas-carrying compo‐
nents. Ensure that all the specified points inside and outside the appliance are gastight before put‐
ting the combi steamer into operation.
For table-top units with a wheeled platform, the gas supply must be provided via a flexible gas sup‐
ply pipe.
For table-top units on a wheeled platform, the length of the gas supply pipe must accommodate the
range of movement allowed to the appliance by the retaining device of the wheeled platform. When
moving the assembly (platform plus appliance), never strain or wheel over the gas supply pipe.

All connection compo‐
nents
All connection components provided by the customer must be tested in
accordance with local and national regulations.
Providing a guaranteed supply of combustion air
In order to ensure a sufficient supply of combustion air, take specific measures according to the instal‐
lation situation and power of the combi steamer in accordance with local regulations, standards and
directives. As the responsible gas fitter, you must ensure there is an adequate supply of combustion
air.
Please note the following points:
The amount of combustion air required depends on the rated gas consumption; see
