Gas

During the planning stage, consider the position of supply
connections.
The cooktop must be connected to the gas supply with
upstream connection of an isolation valve in accordance
with the respectively valid regulations. We recommend
that the isolation valve be fitted prior to the cooktop to
enable isolation of cooktop from gas supply. The valve
must be easily accessible at all times.
To find out the factory set gas type, see bottom of
cooktop next to gas connection.
Remove plastic cap from gas supply line prior to
installation.
Fit regulator (N.G.) or a test point (Propane gas) directly
to the R 1/2’’ connection as per Fig. 5. and Fig. 6.
Direction of gas flow is indicated on the rear of the
regulator.
For position of the inlet connection refer Fig.1.
Use pipe compound or thread sealant, properly theaded
pipes and careful assembly procedure so that there is no
cross threading, etc., which might cause damage or
leakage.
Make sure that all connections peformed are free of
leakage.
The manufacturer does not accept any liability for
leakage on connections performed by the installer or if
the L-tube is moved or twisted.

There are two ways to carry out the connection to the
main gas line:
A. The hotplate can be connected with rigid pipe as
specified in AS/NZS 5601.1
B. Flexible Hose: If installing with a hose assembly, install
with a hose assembly that complies with AS/NZS 1869
(AGA Approved), 10 mm ID, class Bor D, no more than
1,2 m long and in accordance with AS/NZS 5601.1.
Ensure that the hose does not contact the hot surfaces of
the hotplate, oven, dishwasher or any other appliance
that may be installed underneath or next to the hotplate.
The hose should not be subjected to abrasion, kinking or
permanent deformation and should be able to be
inspected along its entire length with the cooktop in the
installed position. Unions compatible with the hose
