2.1.Siting the appliance
Theappliancemustbesitednext to an adjacent exterior
wall.
The gas supply connection to the appliance is at the
rear right hand side. The connection requires 8 mm
diameter semi-rigid pipe, not more than 1 metre in
length.
2.1.1. Clearance requirements
If the appliance has to be located in an opening, there
must be a clearance of at least 50 mm at the left hand
of the appliance, 50 mm at the back of the appliance
and 50 mm above from any non-combustible materials
(as shown in figure 3).
This distancemustbe extendedtoamininumclearance
of 80 mm from any combustible materials.
There should ideally be a minimum gap of 150 mm at
the right hand side of the stove (this will ensure the best
possibleaccesstothecontrolknob). This measurement
may be reduced to a minimum gap of 100 mm if needed
however extra care should be taken when operating the
control knob when the appliance is hot.
A combustible shelf may be fitted over the appliance,
providedthatinthe case of a 150 mmorlessdeepshelf,
there is at least 250 mm clearance above the top of the
stove. The shelf depth may increase at the same rate
as the increase in clearance ; i.e. a shelf depth of
200 mm would require a clearance of 300 mm.
