Gas connection
46
Attention! According to the Gas
Safety Ordinance of Hong Kong, any
gas installation works including the
installation of appliances and
connection tubing, must be
undertaken by registered gas
installers who are registered for that
appropriate classes and be
employed by registered gas
contractors.
Use approved gas tubing bearing
EMSD approval marking (such as:
機
電工程署批准
EMSD APPROVAL
GTXXXX) for connection to
appliances, or other appropriate
methods accepted by EMSD.
The gas connection must be
installed so that connection can be
made either from inside or outside
the kitchen unit. The isolating valve
must be easily accessible and visible
(by opening the kitchen door if
necessary).
Check with your local gas supplier
about the type of gas its calorific
value and compare this information
with the type of gas quoted on the
appliance's data plate.
This hob is not connected to an
exhaust flue.
When installing and connecting the
appliance please observe all relevant
installation instructions and ensure it
has adequate ventilation once
installed.
Connection to the gas supply must
be carried out in strict accordance
with current local regulations. Every
appliance should have its own easily
accessible isolating valve and test
point.
Any special local conditions relating
to gas installations as well as
building regulations must also be
observed.
Gas connections, pipes and
connection cables can suffer
damage if exposed to heat from the
hob.
After installation make sure that
neither the gas pipe nor the mains
cable can come into contact with hot
parts of the appliance and that the
gas pipe and connections on the hob
cannot come into contact with hot
gas exhaust.
Flexible gas pipes can be damaged
by incorrect routing.
Attach flexible gas pipes in such a
way so that they do not come into
contact with any moving kitchen
parts (e.g. a drawer) and are not
exposed to mechanical stress.
The hob must be set for local gas
conditions and the gas connection
must undergo a leakage test.
