Installation instructions
Installation with a flexible hose assembly
If this appliance has to be installed with a hose assembly, the installer shall refer to the network
operator or gas supplier for confirmation of the gas type, if in doubt.
When used with a flexible hose, the connector on the wall should be between 450 mm to 500
mm from the floor and 200 mm to 300 mm from the left-hand side of the appliance as viewed
from the front. The hose connection on the appliance shall face downwards.
It is important that the hose does not come in contact with the metal of the appliance and is
secured as per appropriate gas installation codes. A chain 80% of the length of the flexible gas
hose must be used to prevent stress being applied to the hose. The chain should be attached
securely to the product where shown, and on the wall.
Flexible hose assemblies should be AS/NZS 1869 Class B or Class D certified. The thread
connection shall be Rp 1/2” (ISO 7-1) male.
Important!
After connection the installer must check that the hose is not kinked, subjected to abrasion or permanently
deformed. The installer must check also that the hose is not near (or in contact) with any hot surfaces.
The hose assembly shall be as short as practicable and comply with relevant AS5601 / NZS5261
requirements.
Leak-testing and flame-testing the cooker
After installing the freestanding cooker and connecting the gas supply:
1 Using a suitable leak detection fluid solution, check each gas connection one at a time by
brushing the solution over the connection.
The presence of bubbles will indicate a leak. If there is a leak, tighten the fitting and then
recheck for leaks.
Important!
Do not use a naked flame to test for leaks.
2 Adjust the test point pressure or supply pressure to the value that is appropriate for the gas
type.
3 Test the operation of the appliance:
Turn on the appliance gas controls and light each burner individually and in combination.
Check for a well-defined blue flame without any yellow tipping. If any abnormality is
evident, then check that the burner cap is located properly and the injector nipple is
aligned correctly.
Check the minimum burner setting by quickly rotating the gas control knob from the
maximum to the minimum position. The flame must not go out. If you need to adjust the
setting, see section ‘Adjusting the minimum burner setting’.
4 If satisfacfory performance cannot be obtained, the installer shall check the installation and
notify the local gas supply authority for a gas supply problem, or if it is an appliance problem,
our Customer Service Centre should be called to obtain the nearest authorized Service Agent.
