appliance is shown in the 'Specifications'
section of this manual. Check the gas
supply to ensure that adequate supply
pressure exists.

c. Input Rate of this appliance is also stated

on the Rating Plate attached 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
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.
