INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE INSTALLER
Gas Connection
This appliance is supplied for use with Natural
Gas. However, it can be converted for use
with LPG. Refer to LP conversion chapter.
There are two ways to carry out the connection to
themain gas line :
A.the hotplate can be connected with rigid pipe as
specified in AS5601 table 3.1.
B.The hotplate can be connected with a flexibe
hose, which complies with AS/NZS 1869
(Australian Approved), 10mm ID, class B or D, no
more than 1,2 mm long and in accordance with
AS5601. Ensure that the hose does not contact
the hot surface of the hotplate, oven, dishwasher
or other appliance that may be installed
underneath or next to the hotplate. WARNING:
Ensure that the hose assembly is restrainned from
accidental contact with the flue or flue outlet of an
underbench oven. The hose should not be
subjected to abrasion, kinking or permanent
deformation and should be able to be inspected
along itsentire lenght. Union compatible with the
hosefitting must be use and connection testedfor
gas leaks. The supplyconnection point shall be
accessible with the appliance installed.
Supply pipe sizing
The total hourly gas consumption for the appliance
is shown on the data label. The required supply
pressure (i.e. at inlet to appliance regulator) for
each gas type is shown on the data label, and
given in page "TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTIC
TABLES". Use this information in conjunction with
the length of run, number of elbows, tees and
bends, the available service pressure and the
supply requirements of other installed appliances
to determine a suitable pipe size. For assistance
in this matter refer to the appropriate section of the
Installation Code AS5601.
An Australian certified class B or D flexible
connection may be used to connect the cooktop in
accordance with the AS5601 and in particular
section 4.8. Where a hose assembly is used
and the cooktop is in the installed position, the
hose assembly shall be suitable for connection
to a fixed consumer piping outlet located at a
point 800 - 850mm above the floor and in the
region outside the width of the appliance to a
distance of 250mm. The point of connection to
consumer piping must be accessible with
appliance installed.
Elbow positioning
It is possible to reposition the elbow if required by
loosening the locking nut and elbow by using two
spanners. Re-tighten the entire assembly after the
elbow has been repositioned. When fitting elbow to
appliance, ensure that the sealing washer is fitted.
Regulator
An appliance regulator is provided. The regulator
must be positioned so that the pressure test nipple is
accessible when the appliance is installed. Connect
the gas supply to the ½” B.S.P. internal thread inlet
of the regulator. Refer page 10 for connection point
position.
Assembly of Regulator
The assembly of the regulator to the cooktop
manifold is achieved via the elbow union and
sealing washersupplied.
The ½” parallel thread connects to the manifold, and
the sealing washer is placed between the manifold
end and the flat face on the elbow.
The ½” tapered thread connects to the outlet of the
regulator, and is sealed on the thread using
approved thread sealing tape or approved thread
sealing compound.
The inlet of the regulator is a ½” B.S.P. thread and is
connected to consumer piping or hose assembly.
Regulators are supplied pre-adjusted and
configured by the component maker for use with
Natural Gas.
The appliance installer is not required to make an
adjustment to obtain the correct outlet pressure
setting.
An arrow on the base of the regulator indicates the
direction of gas flow when the inlet and outlet of the
regulator is orientated correctly. When the regulator
has been fitted check for leaks from the connections
with soapy water.
Checking the gas supply
1. Check the manometer zero point is correct.
2. Connect the manometer to the cooktop
pressure point. This is located on the
regulator.
3. Turn on the gas supply and electricity and try
to ignite the gas. NOTE! lt will take additional
time to light the gas for the first time as air
needs to be purged from the pipes.
4. With the appliance operating check the outlet
pressure
• when all burners of the appliance are
operating at maximum,
• when the smallest burner of the appliance is
operating at minimum.
