The gas supply must be connected to the gas inlet which is located at the left or the right
hand rear of the appliance (fig. 3.1). The pipe does not cross the cooker.
When screwing the connecting tube operate with two spanners (fig. 3.2).
The unused end inlet pipe must be closed with the plug, interposing the gasket.
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.
