Connect The Gas
For gas appliances, the
fi
nal gas connection must be made using a
fl
exible hose or annealed copper
tubing of suf
fi
cient length to permit the insertion and removal of the appliance. The gas Inlet
fi
tting is
½ “ BSP (male) thread.
If a
fl
exible hose is used.
Install with a hose assembly that complies with AS/NZ1869(AGA approved). 10mm ID class B or D.
and in accordance with AS5601. This hose must not exceed 1.2m in length. Ensure that the hose
does not contact the hot surfaces of the hotplate, oven, dishwasher or any other appliance that
may be installed underneath or next to the cook top. The hose should be positioned so that it does
not interfere with drawers or other moving parts, and so that it is not subjected to abrasion, kinking,
or permanent deformation. The hose should be able to be inspected along its entire length. Unions
compatible with the
fi
ttings must be used and all connections must be tested.
A restraining wire or chain of adequate strength is to be
fi
xed to the appliance and the wall within
50mm of each connection point. The length of the chain or wire is not to exceed 80% of the length of
the hose assembly.
Connecting The Regulator or Test Point Adaptor
For natural gas installations, use only the regulator supplied with the cooktop. ULPG installations
that have pressure control regulators at the supply cylinder do not require
a separate appliance regulator. However, a test point adaptor must
be connected to the gas inlet of the cooktop to enable gas pressure
measurement at the appliance.
It is essential that the regulator on the appliance be held
fi
rmly with a
spanner when connecting the supply. Do not overtighten. The regulator
must not be connected to the appliance or the gas supply without thread
sealant/ lubrication as a dry connection may permanently bind the threads.
It is recommended that an isolating valve and union be
fi
tted in an
accessible location, to enable simple disconnection for servicing, without
having to remove the appliance.
Pressure Testing
First turn the gas off to the appliance. Remove the sealing screw from the
test point and attach the hose of a manometer to it. Turn the gas on to
the appliance and light the wok burner and medium burners at their maximum setting. Check the
pressure and adjust at the regulator if necessary to the following settings:
NG Pressure
1 kPa / 4” WC
ULPG Pressure
2.75 kPa / 11” WC
Attach The Burner Head And Burner Cap
Place the correct burner head on each burner, ensuring that each head is
seated securely, and rotation is not possible.
When seating the small, medium and large burner heads ensure the hole
near the outer edge of the burner head goes over the igniter electrode.
When seating the wok burner head, position the burner head so that the
raised tracks underneath the head locate into the four channels on the hob
(situated in the 12 o’clock, 3 o’clock, 6 o’clock and 9 o’clock positions.)
Place a burner cap on each burner head, as well as the outer ring on the wok
burner. The caps are positioned correctly when they can rotate, but cannot
move from side to side.
