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 table 3.1.
B. The hotplate can be connected with a Flexible Hose, which
complies with AS/NZS 1869 (AGA Approved), 10mm ID, class
B or D, no more than 1.2m long and in accordance with
AS/NZS5601.
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 to the 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
Technika for a Gas Conversion Kit. The gas
supply pressure must be adjusted in
accordance with the data label for the gas
type. Set the minimum level for each burner as
described on pages 19 & 20.
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.
ULPG
Fit the ULPG 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.
