It is essential that the gas supply is correct for the appliance to be installed and that adequate
supply pressure and volume are available. The following checks should therefore be made before
installation:-
a.
The Gas Type
the appliance has been supplied for is shown on
coloured stickers located above the gas entry point and next to
the rating plate. Check that this is correct for the gas supply
the appliance is being installed for. The gas conversion
procedure is detailed in this manual.
b.
Supply Pressure
required for this appliance is shown in the
‘Specifications’ section of this manual. Check the gas supply to
ensure that adequate supply pressure exists.
c. Input Rate
of this appliance is also stated on the Rating Plate
fitted to the inside of the access door and in the ‘Specifications’
section of this manual. The input rate should be checked
against the available gas supply line capacity.
Particular note
should be taken if the appliance is being added to an
existing installation.
NOTE: It is important that adequately sized piping runs directly to the connection joint on the
appliance, with as few tees and elbows as possible to give maximum supply volume.
3.
Fit the gas regulator supplied, into the gas supply line as close to the appliance as possible.
NOTE: The gas pressure regulator provided with this appliance is convertible between Natural Gas
