This appliance should only be installed by a GAS SAFE registered engineer.
•
The installation should be in accordance with the current Gas Safety Installation and Use Regu-
lations and the Health and Safety at Works Acts.
•
The installations should comply with the relevant requirements of the British Standards
BS6173, BS6891, BS5472 parts 1, 2, 3; BS5482 parts 1,2 and 3 and BS3212.If you smell gas
or in the event of a leak or suspected leak, do NOT light any appliance or touch any electrical
switch. Call the Gas Emergency Helpline at 0800 111999.

Prior to installation, ensure that the local distribution conditions (Nature of Gas and Gas Pres-
sure) and the adjustment of the appliance are compatible (the adjustment conditions are
stated on the data plate).

GAS CONNECTION
Portable GWB 20L
• The gas connection is made using flexible hose (8mm I.D.) complying with BS3212 1991 to
either the bottle governor or the a tap fitted at the end of a rigid pipework assembly. The gas
bottle or isolation tap, must be located close to the appliance so that it is possible to turn on
the gas and light the appliance safely. Turn on the gas and check the installation for sound-
ness.
• The appliance should be securely screwed down onto a flat surface. The gas connection is
8mm O.D. pipe and suitable compression fitting is required to complete the installation. Turn
on the gas and check the installation for soundness.
Note:
The Portable GWB 20L has a round hole in the base panel allowing finger access to block
off the burner injector. This is necessary when completing a full soundness check, including the
appliance’s internal gas circuit. To do this, connect a pressure gauge to the pressure test point.
Confirm the supply pressure is correct and then turn off the gas supply. Whilst blocking the injec
-
tor, depress the control knob and turn to the large flame symbol. If the pressure remains constant,
the appliance is sound.
If you smell gas or in the event of a leak or suspected leak, do NOT light any appliance
or touch any electrical switch. Call the Gas Emergency Helpline at 0800 111999.
