For any gas work in the UK always
use a Gas Safe registered engineer.
Connection to the gas supply
should only be undertaken by an
approved and registered gas installer
(GasSafe in the UK) in strict
accordance with current local and
national safety and building
regulations. The installer is
responsible for ensuring that the
appliance functions correctly when
installed.
The gas connection must be
installed so that connection can be
made either from inside or outside
the kitchen unit. The isolating valve
must be easily accessible and visible
(by opening the cabinet door if
necessary).
Check with your local gas supplier
about the type of gas its calorific
value and compare this information
with the type of gas quoted on the
appliance's data plate.
The hob is not connected to an
exhaust flue.
When installing and connecting the
appliance please observe all relevant
installation instructions and ensure it
has adequate ventilation once
installed.
Gas connection
Connection to the gas supply must
be carried out in strict accordance
with local and national safety
regulations. (Gas Safe in the UK).
Every appliance should have its own
easily accessible isolating valve and
test point.
Any special local conditions relating
to gas installations as well as
building regulations must also be
observed.
Gas connections, pipes and
connection cables can suffer
damage if exposed to heat from the
hob.
After installation make sure that
neither the gas pipe nor the mains
cable can come into contact with hot
parts of the appliance and that the
gas pipe and connections on the hob
cannot come into contact with hot
gas exhaust.
Flexible gas pipes (in countries
where permitted) can be damaged
by incorrect routing.
Attach flexible gas pipes in such a
way so that they do not come into
contact with any moving kitchen
parts (e.g. a drawer) and are not
exposed to mechanical stress.
The hob must be set for local gas
conditions. The gas connection must
undergo a leakage test.
