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 adequate supply pressure exists.
c. Input Rate of this appliance is stated on the Rating Plate,
refer to the ‘Dimensions’ section for rating plate locations
for the different models. 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: Gas pressure regulator provided with this appliance is convertible between Natural Gas and
LPG as per ‘Gas Conversion Section’ in this manual.
Ensure regulator is converted to correct gas type that appliance will operate on.
