GAS CONNECTIONS
Your cooker is delivered adjusted for the kind of
gas stated on the rating plate
If the appliance is supplied with natural gas and
the pressure for natural gas is 20mbar. The
following methods of connection to the gas
supply must be used:
Right Hand Connection (from front)
Ensure that the rubber hose is not in contact with
any part of the hatched area shown in the
diagram and that the loop of the hose when
connected is not in contact with the floor when
the appliance is in position.
Left Hand Connection (from front)
Ensure that the rubber hose is not in contact with
any part of the hatched area shown in the
diagram and the hose is retained in the clamp
provided, it will be necessary to fit the maximum
length hose when using this method.
Rigid Connection
Where it is not possible to make the connection
using a rubber hose, a rigid pipe work connection
must be used.
Recommendations when using an appliance
flexible connector are as follows:
- For NATURAL the gas installation pipes to the
termination point shall comply with:
Specification for installation of low-pressure
gas pipe work of up to 20mm (R1) in domestic
premises (2nd family gas) – BS 6891;
Connection shall be by means of an appliance
flexible connector for use with a self-sealing plug-
in device, complying with:
Flexible hoses, end fittings and sockets for
gas burning appliances – BS 669;
- The appliance flexible connector should not
be subjected to undue forces either in normal
use or whilst connected or disconnected; The
socket which the plug of the appliance
flexible connector fits should be permanently
attached to a firmly fixed gas installation pipe
and positioned such that the appliance
flexible connector hose hangs freely
downwards (see fig. 27);
- The appliance flexible connector should be
positioned such that it will not suffer
mechanical damage, e.g. abrasion from the
surrounding kitchen furniture, which may be
moved in use such as a drawer or door, or by
being trapped by any stability device.
The plug-in-connector should be accessible
for disconnection after moving the appliance.
