3. FITTING THE STABILITY BRACKET
It is recommended that if the appliance is to be installed with a flexible supply pipe a stability bracket
(SK.4729.A) is fitted and is available from your supplier (see Important Safety Requirements, Page 37).
These instructions should be read in conjunction with the leaflet packed with the stability bracket.
1.
Place the appliance in its intended position and level appliance.
2.
Mark off 227mm from the left hand side of the appliance as shown in dimension 'A', Fig 3a. This is the
centre line of the fixing bracket.
3.
Draw a line 100mm from the front edge of the levelling feet (see Fig 3a) and remove appliance from its
position. Mark off dimension 'B' (see Fig 3a) back from this line on the centre line of the bracket to locate
the front edge of the lower bracket. Fix lower bracket (with two fixing holes) to the floor then measure the
height from floor level to engagement edge on back of appliance, dimension 'C' of Fig. 3b.
4.
Assemble upper bracket to lower bracket so that underside of bracket is dimension 'C' + 3mm above
floor level. (see Fig. 3b).
Reposition appliance and check that top bracket engages into appliance back as shown in Fig. 3b.

Check for gas soundness after connecting the gas supply.
The gas bayonet connector must be fitted in the shaded area indicated in Fig. 4. Take into account that it
must be possible to pull the appliance forward sufficiently. The hose must not get caught on the stability
bracket.
