GAS CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS

7.1

Gas Supply Connection

WARNING: This appliance must be installed according to the installation requirements of the local gas authority

and the appropriate installation code issued (within Australia) by the A.L.P.G.A and A.G.A (reference
code AG601) and the building authorities requirements and any other applicable requirements.

1. Check the gas type of the appliance which is identified by a sticker attached to the appliance.

2. Ensure the location of the gas sup-ply and routing of the gas line is appropriate for the appliance (see installation

diagrams for gas connection location details).

3. A manual shut-off valve must be installed in the gas supply line, in an accessible position external to the appliance,

such that the gas supply to the appliance can be shut off in the event of an emergency or for servicing without
having to remove the appliance.

4. For LPG models, the gas supply for the appliance must be regulated to a pressure of 2.75 kPa (11” W.G.). The

gas inlet is fitted with an adapter incorporating a pressure test point and has a

1

/

2

’’ female BSP thread.

For Natural Gas models, the gas supply is connected to the regulator supplied with the appliance which has a

1

/

2

’’ female BSP thread. IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT THE REGULATOR ON THE APPLIANCE BE HELD FIRMLY

WITH A SPANNER WHEN CONNECTING THE SUPPLY. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. THE REGULATOR MUST
NOT BE CONNECTED TO APPLIANCE OR THE GAS SUPPLY WITHOUT THREAD SEALANT/LUBRICATION
AS DRY CONNECTION MAY PERMANENTLY BIND THREADS.
The regulated pressure for Natural Gas is 1.0
kPa (4’’ W.G.).

5. After installing the gas supply and making all connections, the supply line connections must be checked for

possible leaks. With all controls of the appliance in the off position, open the gas supply valve and using a soap
and water solution check each gas connection one at a time by brushing the solution over the connection. The
formation of bubbles indicates a leak. Tighten the fitting and recheck for leaks. If it is not possible to correct the
leak by tightening, replace the fitting. Matches or lighters must never be used to check for leaks.

6. Turn on each burner control and light in turn. Check for a clear blue flame without excessive yellow tipping. If

burners show any abnormal combustion check they are correctly located. Sometimes burners may not ignite
immediately and may seem to ‘‘blow’’ slightly when they do ignite. This is usually due to air in the gas line, which
should clear itself.

7. If, after following the instructions, satisfactory performance cannot be obtained, contact the local gas authority

for advice and assistance.

8. For minor adjustments see Servicing and Minor Adjustments.

9. A two (2) yearly inspection of the appliance by an authorised service agent will ensure many years of trouble free

service (Note: This is not provided under warranty).
