FITTING THE STABILITY CHAIN

It is recommended that if the appliance is to be
installed with a flexible supply pipe, a stability chain
be fitted and is available from your supplier (see
Important Safety Requirements). These instructions
should be read in conjunction with any leaflet packed
with the stability chain.

1. Place the appliance in its intended position and

level appliance.

2. Mark a position 100mm from the top of the rear

right hand corner.

3. Measure down 150mm from this point. This

gives the position of the wall anchor point for the
stability chain.

4. The stability chain anchor point on the appliance

is shown in the diagram Fig. 4.

PRESSURE TESTING

1. The Rapid injector is used as a pressure test

point.

2. Connect the pressure gauge to the Rapid

injector.

3. Check the supply pressure by turning the Rapid

burner on and one other hotplate burner full on
and light the appropriate burner. The pressure
should be either:-
(i) For Natural Gas 20mbar
(ii) For LP. Gas. The pressure must be set to

29 mbar for use on butane or 37 mbar for
use on propane.

4. Turn off the taps, disconnect the pressure

gauge.

5. Check operation of each hotplate burner.
