of standards.
Gas connection
Read these points before connecting to the gas supply:
• The appliance is preset for natural gas use, if LPG is to
be used see Conversion to LPG section.
2.75*
• Gas installation must be made in accordance with AS/
(kPa)
NZS 5601.1, the local gas fitting regulations, municipal
codes and other statutory regulations.
• The gas connection point is a ½" BSP external thread
located at the rear of the appliance as shown.
• The regulator is to be fitted to the manifold inlet at
the rear of the appliance and the connection is sealed
using a tape or jointing compound suitable for gas
connections. The consumer piping is then connected
to the inlet of the regulator, either
1. directly, or
2. using a hose assembly and in accordance
with Clause 6.10.1.9 of AS/NZS 5601.1 (High
level connection) together with the supplied
elbow. The elbow is fitted to the inlet of the
regulator and oriented to allow the hose to hang
downward. The connection thread between the
regulator and elbow is sealed using a tape or
jointing compound suitable for gas connections.
This appliance is supplied set up for Natural Gas usage.
LPG CONVERSION GAS COOKTOP MODEL
A conversion kit is included with the product for
Universal LPG usage. The conversion kit contains 5 or
7 injectors (refer to LPG conversion table) and 1 LPG
sticker.
Please follow the procedure below if a conversion to suit
UNIVERSAL LPG
UNIVERSAL LPG is required:
1. Remove the hotplate trivets, burner caps and burner
0.55mm
crowns to access the hotplate injectors. Replace the
factory fitted injectors with the appropriate injectors,
0.70mm
as supplied. Refer to injector orifice table for injector

sizes. The injector size is stamped on the side of
the injector.

3. Unscrew the threaded pin from top hat.
4. Upturn threaded pin, so spring is free and screw pin
back into the top hat until firm.
5. Refit the top hat nut assembly to the regulator
ensuring that it is fully screwed down. The regulator
is now set for connection to LPG.

6. Turn on the gas supply and at each new connection
check for leaks using soapy water. Each hotplate
40.9 MJ/h
valve should be turned on, one at a time, and the
45.5MJ/h
injector hole blanked off for several seconds.
7. The operation of the regulator can be confirmed by
connecting a manometer to the pressure test point
located on the side of the regulator body adjacent
to the outlet.
With the appliance operating check the outlet pressure:
• when all burners of the appliance are operating
• when the smallest burner of the appliance is
Under these conditions the outlet pressure should
not vary from the nominal outlet pressure of
2.60kPa by more than ±0.52kPa.
8. If the regulator appears to not be performing
satisfactorily then check the following points:
• If the outlet pressure is consistently too low then
• Check that the insert has been fitted correctly.
• Check that the turret screw is fully
• Check that the regulator has been fitted to the
Once these checks have been completed, if the regulator
still fails to perform in a satisfactory manner it should
be replaced.
9. One by one, turn the knobs to minimum and screw
in the bypass screw (accessible when the knob is
removed) until a small stable flame results.
Turn the knob to maximum and then back to
minimum to ensure that the correct minimum
flame is maintained.

the inlet pressure may be too low and adjustment
of an upstream regulator may be needed, or an
upstream regulator or valve with insufficient flow
capacity may be present in the gas supply line.
If this is suspected then it may be necessary to
repeat the checks whilst measuring both the
inlet and outlet pressure to determine if the inlet
pressure is in the range 2.75 – 7.00kPa.
