Gas Connection - Electrolux EHGC64AS User Manual

Gas connection

This appliance is supplied for use with Natural Gas.
However, it can be converted for use with Propane or
Universal LPG. Refer to LP conversion on page 10.
Supply pipe sizing
The total hourly gas consumption for the appliance is
shown on the data label. The required supply pressure (i.e.
at inlet to appliance regulator, where fitted) for each gas
type is shown on the data label, and given in Table 3 (page
10). Use this information in conjunction with the length
of run, number of elbows, tees and bends, the available
service pressure and the supply requirements of other
installed appliances to determine a suitable pipe size.
For assistance in this matter refer to the appropriate
section of the Installation Code AS5601 (AG601).
An AGA certified class B or D flexible connection may
be used to connect the cooktop in accordance with the
AS5601 (AG601) and in particular section 4.8. Where a
hose assembly is used and the cooktop is in the installed
position, the hose assembly shall be suitable for connection
to a fixed consumer piping outlet located at a point
800 – 850mm above the floor and in the region outside
the width of the appliance to a distance of 250mm. The
point of connection to consumer piping must be accessible
with appliance installed.
Elbow positioning
It is possible to reposition the elbow if required by
loosening the locking nut and elbow by using two
spanners. Re-tighten the entire assembly after the elbow
has been repositioned. When fitting elbow to appliance,
ensure that the sealing washer is fitted.
Operation on N.G./S.N.G.
Regulator
An appliance regulator is provided. The regulator must be
positioned so that the pressure test nipple is accessible
when the appliance is installed.
Connect the gas supply to the 1/2" B.S.P. internal thread
inlet of the regulator. Refer to 'bench cutout' (Figure 5) for
connection point position.
Regulators are supplied pre-adjusted and configured by the
component maker for use with Natural Gas.
The appliance installer is not required to make an
adjustment to obtain the correct outlet pressure setting.
An arrow on the base of the regulator indicates the
direction of gas flow when the inlet and outlet of the
regulator is orientated correctly. When the regulator has
been fitted check for leaks from the connections with
soapy water.

Checking the gas supply
1. Check the manometer zero point is correct.
2. Connect the manometer to the cooktop pressure point.
This is located on the regulator.
3. Turn on the gas supply and electricity and try to ignite
the gas.
NOTE! It will take additional time to light the gas for the first
time as air needs to be purged from the pipes.
4. With the appliance operating check the outlet pressure
• when all burners of the appliance are operating at
maximum,
• when the smallest burner of the appliance is operating
at minimum.
Under these conditions the outlet pressure should not
vary from the nominal outlet pressure of 1.00kPa by
more than ±0.20kPa.
If the regulator appears to not be performing satisfactorily,
then check the following points.
1. If the outlet pressure is consistently too low then 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 1.13 – 5kPa.
2. Check that the regulator has been fitted to the gas supply
line in the correct orientation, the arrow on the base of the
body indicates the direction of gas flow.
Once these checks have been completed, if the regulator still
fails to perform in a satisfactory manner it should be replaced.
