INSTALLATION
Regulations and Standards
This appliance must be installed in accordance with the manufacturers installation instructions,
local gas fitting regulations, municipal building codes, AG5601 and any other relevant statutory
regulations. Particular attention shall be given to the requirements regarding ventilation. Read
the instructions before installing or using the appliance
Failure to install the appliance correctly could invalidate any warranty or liability claims and
lead to prosecution. Read the instructions before installing or using this appliance.
Ventilation
This appliance is suitable for installation into Holiday Homes, Touring Caravans and Boats. In
all cases the national standards with regard to ventilation for the particular vehicle into which
the appliance is to be installed must be adhered to.
The appliance
MUST
have a gas escape hole (min size Ø25mm; max Ø50mm; or shaped hole
of equivalent area
) in the floor, directly beneath the appliance and positioned at the rear. The
hole
MUST
vent to the outside and should be baffled to prevent direct draught to the appliance.
Location of Appliance
This appliance maybe installed in a kitchen/kitchen diner but NOT in a room containing a bath
or a shower. LP gas appliances must not be fitted below ground level. e.g. in a basement.
•
This appliance must be installed into an aperture, sealed off at either
side in order to prevent draughts from adjoining cupboards/vents.
Ensure that air vents and gas escape holes are kept clear, holes for
cables and pipes must be sized to minimize air leakage between
compartments.
•
Under no circumstances should the ventilation hole exceed the
maximum specified. Low level vents in adjacent compartments are
permitted.
Position
A cutout should be prepared as shown in the enclosed diagrams. The cutout MUST comply
with the dimensions shown and include the low ventilation indicated.
A horizontal distance of 200mm must exist between the edge of the burner and combustible
material unless protected by a layer of non-combustible material. Unless the appliance is fitted
with a glass lid a non-combustible heat shield (splash back) must be fitted onto the rear wall
directly behind the appliance.
This appliance must be positioned free from draughts, which may affect the combustion, and in
a manner that will prevent the accumulation of unburnt gas. When in use ensure that air vents
are not inadvertently blocked or shut off. Ensure all combustible materials such as curtains and
shelves are well clear of the appliance.
The performance of this appliance meets the requirements of the Australian Standard for
Domestic Cooking Appliances. We recommend the installation follows the minimum
dimensions shown in this manual as any deviation could result in excessive temperature rise. If
minimum dimensions must be reduced, due to design constraints, a temperature rise test of all
furniture fitted around the unit MUST be performed. The design is deemed permissible
providing the results of this test comply with all standards in force and the requirements
detailed within the furniture manufacturer’s material specification
.
Where minimum dimensions
are reduced we recommend protecting with non combustible material
.
