Check the appliance is electrically safe and gas sound when you have finished.

Gas Connection

Must be in accordance with the relevant standards. A hose
is not supplied with the cooker. Hoses may be purchased at
most builders' merchants.
The gas supply needs to terminate with a down-facing
bayonet.
The hose should be fitted so that both inlet and outlet
connections are vertical so that the hose hangs downwards in
a 'U' shape.
Ideally the hose supply connection should be within the
shaded area 'A' (Fig. 7.10).
The connector is located just below the hotplate level at the
rear of the cooker.
For Natural Gas the flexible hose must be in accordance with
BS 669.
For LP Gas it should be capable of 50 mbar pressure, 70 °C
temperature rise and carry a red stripe, band or label.
If in doubt contact your supplier. Screw connect the threaded
end of the hose into the gas inlet.
After completing the gas connection, check the cooker is gas
sound with a pressure test.

Pressure Testing

The gas pressure can be measured at one of the hotplate
burner injectors (not a wok burner).
Lift off a burner head and fit the pressure gauge to the
injector. Turn on the hotplate burner and turn on and light
one of the other hotplate burners.
For Natural Gas cookers the pressure should be 20 mbar.
For LP Gas cookers the pressure should be 29 mbar for Butane
and 37 mbar for Propane.
Reassemble the burner top making sure it is reassembled in
the correct way on the burner body.
