Gas Connection - Miele CS 1013-1 Operating And Installation Instructions

Connection to the gas supply, or
conversion from one type of gas to
another, should only be undertaken
by an registered gas installer under
the gas safety regulations
(Registration of Gas Installers and
Gas Contractors).
Only use approved stainless steel
braided flexible tubing bearing
EMSD Approval marking for
connection up to gas supply point.
Every appliance should have its own
easily accessible isolating valve.
Safety regulations demand that a
pressure test point is installed near a
gas hob to allow an engineer to test
the pressure, following servicing.
The gas connection must be
installed so that connection can be
made either from inside or outside
the kitchen unit, and the isolating
valve must be easily accessible and
visible (by opening one of the
kitchen unit doors if necessary).
Check with your local gas supplier
about the type of gas and its
calorific value, and compare this
information with the type of gas
quoted on the data plate.

Gas connection

The gas installation must be carried
out so that the connection is not
subject to high temperatures when
the appliance is in use.
It is particularly important that the
flexible gas connection pipes and
isolator valves do not come into
contact with hot gas exhaust fumes.
Neither the flexible gas connection
pipe nor the electrical cable must
come into contact with any parts of
the appliance which get hot, as this
could damage the flexible gas
connection pipe or the electrical
cable.
Flexible gas connection pipes and
cables must be installed so that they
do not impede moving kitchen parts
(e.g. drawers), which must be able
to move freely without hindrance.
The installer is responsible for
ensuring that the appliance
functions correctly when installed.
A test for possible leakages must be
carried out after installation.
