NOTE: ALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTION MUST ONLY BE CARRIED OUT BY A QUALIFIED PERSON.

1. Each appliance should be connected to an adequately protected power supply and an isolation
switch mounted adjacent to, but not behind the appliance. This switch must be clearly marked and
readily accessible in case of fire.

2. Check electricity supply is correct as shown on Rating Plate attached to inside of access door.

3. For immediate electrical supply, simply plug the lead into a properly earthed, 3 pin socket.

Gas Connection

NOTE: ALL GAS FITTING MUST ONLY BE CARRIED OUT BY AN AUTHORISED PERSON.

Flexible Hose Connection.

If a Gas Hose assembly is used to connect this appliance, hose and all fittings must have a minimum

¾” (Natural Gas) or ½” (LPG) inside bore diameter to ensure gas flow rate capacity required by this

appliance is achieved.
This must be verified by operating pressure testing at maximum gas supply demand condition.

Gas Hose assembly should also be classified for use in commercial kitchen conditions that appliance
will be used in.

Recommended Gas Hose Assembly Specification:

- AS/NZS 1869 Class B or D compliant or equivalent, that meets the following requirements:-

NOTE: ALL GAS FITTING MUST ONLY BE CARRIED OUT BY A QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSON.

1. It is essential that the gas supply is correct for the appliance being installed and that adequate
supply pressure and volume are available. Carry out the following checks before installation:-

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

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

b. Supply Pressure required for this appliance is shown in

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

c. Input Rate of this appliance is also 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 connection joint on appliance,

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