INSTALLATION TO LP GAS
This appliance must only be connected to LPG after an LPG conversion kit has been fitted,
(see pages from 16 to 17).
When operating on Butane gas a supply pressure of 28-30 mbar is required.
When using Propane gas a supply pressure of 37 mbar is required.
The installation must conform to the relevant British Standards.
Warning: Only a suitably qualified and registered installer, also with technical knowl-
edge of electricity should install the hob. He should observe the Regulations and Codes
of Practice governing such installation of gas appliances.
Note: It is recommended that the gas connection to the cooktop is installed with a flexi-
ble connecting tube made to BS 5386.

Notes:
Flexible hoses can be used where the sited ambient temperature of the hose does
not exceed 70°C. These 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.
Using a suitable leak detection fluid solution (e.g. Rocol) 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.
IMPORTANT!
Do not use a naked flame to test for
leaks.
