Connection To The Gas Supply - Technika PROFESSIONAL Series Instructions For Use And Installation

Installation

Connection to the gas supply

There are two ways to make the connection to the main gas line:
A. The hotplate can be connected with rigid pipe as specified in
AS/NZS 5601.
B. The hotplate can be connected with a Flexible Hose, which
complies with AS/NZS 1869 (Australian Approved), 10mm ID,
class B or D, no more than 1.2m long and in accordance with
AS/NZS 5601.
WARNING: Ensure that the hose assembly is restrained from
accidental contact with the flue or flue outlet of an underbench
oven and it does not contact the hot surfaces of the hotplate,
oven, dishwasher or other separate appliance that may be
installed underneath or next to the hotplate. The hose should not
be subjected to abrasion, kinking or permanent deformation and
should be able to be inspected along its entire length. Unions
compatible with the hose fittings must be used and connections
tested for gas leaks.
The supply connection point must be accessible
with the appliance installed. Fit the supplied
elbow and gasket as shown in the illustration
right. The gas inlet connection has a 1/2" BSP
male thread. When making the connection, take
care not to apply excessive stress by
counterbalancing tightening force. Ensure that
the available gas supply is the same as the gas
type label affixed to the base of the hob. If not,
contact Glen Dimplex for a Gas Conversion Kit.
The gas supply pressure must be adjusted in
accordance with the data label for the gas type.
Natural Gas
The natural gas regulator supplied must be fitted for natural gas.
Ensure the arrow on the regulator points towards the direction of
the gas flow. The test point pressure must be adjusted to 1.00 kPa
with the largest burner operating on maximum flame.
Propane
Fit the Propane test point assembly (supplied in the gas
conversion kit). An Australian Approved gas regulator suitable for a
supply pressure of 2.75kPa should be part of the gas tank supply.
