INSTALLATION
Check the appliance is electrically safe and gas sound when you have finished.
Conversion to Another Gas
Fig. 9.12
If the appliance is to be converted to another gas do the
675
conversion at this point. See 'Conversion to LP Gas' .

315
Gas inlet
Gas Connection
This must be in accordance with the relevant standards.
The gas supply needs to terminate with a down-facing
threaded fitting ½" connection. The inlet connector is located
just below the hotplate level at the rear of the range.
Because the height of the range can be adjusted and
each connection is different, it is difficult to give precise
dimensions. Ideally the hose supply connection should be
470
within the shaded area 'A' (Fig. 9.12).
350
Means of isolation must be provided at the supply point by
either an approved quick-connect device or a Type 1 manual
shut-off valve.
All dimensions in millimetres
The hose should be fitted so that both inlet and outlet
connections are vertical so that the hose hangs downwards in
a 'U' shape.
A flexible connection is supplied with the range. If it is
necessary to use another hose it must be to AS 1869 class B
and be suitable for your gas type.
If in doubt contact your supplier. Screw connect the threaded
end of the hose into the gas inlet.
After completing the gas connection, check the range is gas
sound with a pressure test. When checking for gas leakes do
not use washing up liquid – this can corrode. Use a product
specifically manufactured for leak detection.
Natural Gas
The gas pressure regulator is preset to give a nominal
pressure of 1 kPa on Natural Gas. Connect to the Rp ½ inlet on
the underside of the pressure regulator.
Propane
This range is supplied ready for use on natural gas. A
conversion kit for Propane as is supplied with the range – see
the 'Conversion to Propane Gas' section.
Pressure Testing
The pressure test point is accessible on the inlet pipe at the
rear. Remove the test nipple screw and fit a pressure gauge to
the test point. Turn on and light two of the hotplate burners.
For Natural Gas ranges the operating pressure should be
1 kPa.
For Propane X ranges the operating pressure should be
2.54 kPa.
