INSTALLATION
Check the appliance is electrically safe and gas sound when you have nished.
Repositioning the range following
connection
If you need to move the range once it has been connected
then you need to unplug it and, having gripped under the
fascia panel and lifted the front of the range slightly
(Fig. 9.6), you need to check behind the range to make sure
that the gas hose is not caught.
As you progress, make sure that both the electricity cable and
gas hose always have sucient slack to allow the range to
move.
With a stability chain tted, release it as you ease the range
out. DO NOT forget to ret it when you replace the range.
When you replace the range, again check behind to make
sure that the electricity cable and gas hose are not caught or
trapped.Conversion to Another Gas
If the appliance is to be converted to another gas do the
conversion at this point. See ‘Conversion to LP Gas’.
Gas Connection
This must be in accordance with the relevant standards.
The gas supply needs to terminate with a down-facing
threaded tting ½” connection. The inlet connector is located
just below the hotplate level at the rear of the range.
Because the height of the range can be adjusted and
each connection is dierent, it is dicult to give precise
dimensions. Ideally the hose supply connection should be
within the shaded area ‘A’ (Fig. 9.12).
Means of isolation must be provided at the supply point by
either an approved quick-connect device or a Type 1 manual
shut-o valve.
The hose should be tted so that both inlet and outlet
connections are vertical so that the hose hangs downwards in
a ‘U’ shape.
A exible connection is supplied with the range. If it is
necessary to use another hose it must be to AS 1869 class B
and be suitable for your gas type.
If in doubt contact your supplier. Screw connect the threaded
end of the hose into the gas inlet.
After completing the gas connection, check the range is gas
sound with a pressure test. When checking for gas leakes do
not use washing up liquid – this can corrode. Use a product
specically manufactured for leak detection.
Natural Gas
The gas pressure regulator is preset to give a nominal
pressure of 1 kPa on Natural Gas. Connect to the Rp ½ inlet on
the underside of the pressure regulator.
Propane
This range is supplied ready for use on natural gas. A
conversion kit for Propane as is supplied with the range – see
the ‘Conversion to Propane Gas’ section.
