METERS
A suitable gas meter must be connected to the
service pipe either by a representative of the gas
board or by an appointed contractor. If using an
existing meter have it checked to ensure that the
meter is capable of dealing with the total rate of
gas needed.
GAS PIPE SIZE
It is important that the correct service pipe size be
used for adequate gas supply. This depends on
the distance between the supply meter and the
appliance relative to the input requirements. The
gas supply to the appliance should be terminated
near the appliance with an approved safety type
service tap.
CONNECTION TO GAS SUPPLY
The gas control is located at the bottom right hand
side of the unit. Check that the mains gas supply
pipe is adequately sized and capable of supplying
enough gas to the appliance when operating on
max. rate.

WARNING:
Before connecting the stove make
sure the gas supply pipe is clear of grit and debris
as this will cause blockage within the stove con-
trol, pilot burner, injectors and pipework. Failure
to do so may void product warranty.

WARNING:
To avoid pipe sealing compounds
from entering into the gas train, do not apply seal-
ing compound to the first two threads at the tip of
the gas connection.

NOTE: Clean off any excess pipe compounds
from connections.
GAS SOUNDNESS TESTING
Gas soundness testing should be in accordance
with I.S. 813 (I.E.) and B.S. 6891 (U.K.). Correct
gas pressure and proper gas supply pipe sizing is
important for the successful performance of this
appliance. Make sure that the plumber or gas
supplier checks the gas supply line and gas pres-
sure at installation.
After testing gas supply pipe work, open isolation
valve to stove and carry out gas soundness test-
ing at normal working pressure 20 mbar for natur-
al gas and 29 to 37 mbar for LPG models.
With stove lighting carry out a leak test down-
stream of control using gas leak detection fluid.
PLACEMENT OF COALS
WARNING:
Only connect to gas type indicated
on the rating plate.
CAUTION:
The appliance must be isolated from
gas supply system during any gas soundness
testing at pressures in excess of 50 mbar
.
CAUTION:
If using a gas leak detection fluid for
leak testing DO NOT spray solution onto control
body.
WARNING:
The ceramic coals supplied with this
stove are extremely durable and long lasting
when fitted properly. They are, however, very del-
icate and can be easily damaged if they are not
handled very carefully.
Handling damage to the ceramic coals is not
covered by warranty.
