A cut-off valve and three-piece coupling must be fitted on the gas supply. Check that there is an adequate mains gas supply. In particular: make sure that the gas mains pressure, with the appliance operating, is set to 20 mbar (204 mm H with an admissible range of 17 mbar to 25 mbar (G20 natural gas supply).
