Specifications section of this manual. Check gas supply to
ensure that adequate supply pressure exists.

c. Input Rate of this appliance is shown on Rating Plate fitted to

inside of access door and in Specifications' section of this
manual. Input rate should be checked against available gas
supply line capacity. Particular note should be taken if
appliance is being added to an existing 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.

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

Connection to appliance is 3/4” BSP male.

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

3. Correctly locate appliance into its final operating position and using a spirit level, adjust legs so that
