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

require to be leak tested, the burner operating pressure and flame
checked and adjusted. Warranty service calls do not cover these
adjustments! To check the operating pressure of the appliance it is
recommended at least 2 large size burners are used. Ensure appliance is
secured to wall when installation is completed. N.G. The regulator
supplied must be fitted to the ½ BSP thread at the rear of the appliance.
An approved manual shut-off valve must be installed. The N.G. regulator
