General information
This appliance is suitable for installation with
Natural Gas or ULPG (propane/butane).
Refer to “Burner and injector characteristics
tables” paragraph for the relevant burner
pressure and appropriate injector sizes.
When the appliance is to be connected to
Natural Gas then the pressure regulator
supplied must be fitted to the gas inlet. A test
point (for checking the gas pressure) is
supplied either with the regulator or as a
separate fitting in the case of ULPG
(propane) appliances.
Connection of the appliance to the gas
supply must be in accordance with the
requirements of AS5601. A ½” BSP
connector at the inlet is recommended and
the gas supply line to the appliance must be
of adequate length to allow sufficient
withdrawal of appliance for service or
disconnection and be:
1. annealed copper pipe or;
2. flexible hose according to AS/NZ1869
& be at least Class “B”, 10 mm diameter.
The appliance must be installed with
provision to allow the gas to be turned off
and disconnected for servicing and removal
of the appliance as required from the gas
supply. Before the appliance is operated
make certain all relevant parts are placed in
the correct position.
On completion of the installation, the
installer MUST check for gas leaks and test
each burner individually for the correct
flame. Once all burners have been tested
individually, turn all burners on together.
Warranty service calls do not cover these
adjustments!
