2.2 GAS CONNECTION
The cooker is provided with a label placed on the rear panel near the gas inlet, showing the type
of gas and pressure for which the appliance has been originally adjusted.
Before connecting this appliance, check the data label to ensure that it matches the available
gas type.
It may be necessary to convert the appliance to the appropriate gas type (see section 2.4).
Refer to your local gas authority for confirmation of the gas type, if in doubt.
The Gas Connection is male 1/2" BSP and is situated at the right hand rear of the appliance,
40mm from the side of the cooker and 555-570mm above floor level (depending on height of the
adjustable legs).
This appliance is suitable for connection to Natural and Propane Gas. Refer to gas pressure
shown on the data plate and in the table nº 1.
Never place a Propane gas bottle inside the building.
You may connect the appliance to a gas bottle fitted with a regulator, which will maintain a
supply pressure of 2.75 kPa or a Propane Gas network, which supplies a pressure of 2.75 kPa
to the appliance test point.
There are two ways to carry out the connection to the main gas line:
A. The cooker can be connected with rigid pipe as specified in AS5601 table 3.1.
B. The cooker can be connected with a Flexible Hose, which complies with AS/ANZ 1869 (AGA
Approved), 10mm ID, class B or D, no more than 1.2m long and in accordance with AS5601 for
a high level connection. The Hose should not be subjected to abrasion, kinking or permanent
deformation and should be able to be inspected along its entire length. Unions compatible with
the hose fittings must be used and connections tested for gas leaks. The fixed consumer-piping
outlet should be at approximately the same height as the cooker connection point, pointing
downwards and approximately 150mm to the side of the cooker. The hose should be clear of
the floor when the cooker is in the installed position. The hose restraint chain supplied should
be anchored to the wall so that the chain prevents strain on the hose connections when he
cooker is pulled forward.
The gas supply must be connected with the Regulator supplied for natural gas installations,
or Test Point Assembly supplied for Propane gas installations.
An isolation tap fitted in an easily accessible position is recommended.
Check that the gas pressure for Natural Gas is 1.00 kPa at the test point with the largest
hotplate burner on maximum flame.
