INSTALLATION - GAS CONNECTION
These technical instructions have been prepared for use by Authorised persons.
THIS APPLIANCE MUST ONLY BE INSTALLED BY AN AUTHORISED PERSON –
PROOF IS REQUIRED FOR WARRANTY SERVICE CLAIMS.
The cooker has been manufactured with Natural Gas injectors fitted. For use with LPG the cooker
must be converted. An LPG conversion kit is supplied with every new cooker. Information on con-
verting the cooker is included with these instructions.
The requirements of the local gas and electrical authorities must be adhered to, consult
AS
/NZS
5601 as appropriate.
Gas inlet fitting is 1/2” BSP (male) thread. This appliance can be connected with rigid pipe as
specified in AS

. The flexible hose must comply with AS/NZS
5601
(AGA Approved), 10mm ID, class B or D, between 1 – 1.2 m 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 all connections tested for gas leaks.
The fixed consumer gas supply outlet should be at approximately the
same height as the cooker connection point, pointing downwards and
approximately 150 mm to the side of the cooker. The hose should be
clear of the floor when the cooker is in the installed position. Ensure that
the safety chain is installed correctly so that the chain prevents strain on
the hose connections when the cooker is pulled forward.
If the connection is for natural gas the test point pressure should be ad-
justed to 1.00 kPa with the wok burner operating at maximum.
Gas Connection
If installing for use with LPG ensure that an AGA approved gas regulator
suitable for a supply pressure of 2.75 kPa is part of the tank supply and
the test point pressure is adjusted to 2.75 kPa.
• There is an LPG conversion kit supplied with the cooker.
• It is recommended that an isolating valve and union be fitted, to en-
able simple disconnection for servicing. These are to be in an accessi-
ble location.
• Check connections are gas tight with soapy water or other approved
method.
• Under no circumstances use a naked flame in checking for leaks.
• Check Gas Adjustments (refer installation - gas checks and adjust-
ments).
REGULATOR PLACEMENT - We strongly advise to
locate the Natural Gas regulator close to the gas inlet and away from
the heat of the cooker. Regulator failure due to heat exposure is not
covered under warranty.
When satisfied that the upright cooker is operating correctly, instruct the
customer in its safe operation. Ensure the customer understands fully by
having them operate the upright cooker in all its functions.
