supply pressure and volume are available. The following checks should therefore be made before
installation:-

a. The Gas Type the appliance has been supplied for is shown on

coloured stickers located above the gas entry point and next to
the rating plate. Check that this is correct for the gas supply
the appliance is being installed for. The gas conversion
procedure is detailed in this manual.

b. Supply Pressure required for this appliance is shown in the

'Specifications' section of this manual. Check the gas supply to

Rating Plate
Location

ensure that adequate supply pressure exists.

c. Input Rate of this appliance is also stated on the Rating Plate

fitted to the inside of the access door and in the 'Specifications'
section of this manual. The input rate should be checked
against the available gas supply line capacity. Particular note

should be taken if the appliance is being added to an

Fig 1

existing installation.

8

Installation

NOTE: It is important that adequately sized piping runs directly to the connection joint on the

appliance, with as few tees and elbows as possible to give maximum supply volume.

3. A suitable joining compound which resists the breakdown action of LPG must be used on every gas
line connection, unless compression fittings are used.

3

The connection to the appliance is

/4” BSP male.

NOTE: A Manual Isolation Valve must be fitted to the individual appliance supply line.

4. Correctly locate the appliance into its final operating position and using a spirit level, adjust the legs
so that the unit is level and at the correct height.

5. Connect the gas supply to the appliance.

6. Check gas operating pressure to as shown in the 'Specifications' section. If the pressure is incorrect,
adjust the pressure by adjusting the regulator screw of the gas control valve as shown in the ‘Gas
Conversion and Specifications’ section.

7. Check all gas connections for leakages using soapy water or other gas detecting equipment.

WARNING:

DO NOT USE A NAKED FLAME TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKAGES.

NOTE: The operating pressure is to be measured at the lower test point (Out) on the gas control

valve located behind the access door and through the access hole in the control panel, this
is to be carried out with all burners operating at the 'High Flame' setting.

8. Turn ‘OFF’ the mains gas supply and bleed the
gas out of the appliance gas lines.

9. Turn ‘ON’ the gas supply and the appliance.

10. Verify the operating pressure remains correct
