relevant burner pressure and appropriate injector sizes. 
When the appliance is to be connected to Natural Gas 
then the pressure regulator supplied must be fitted to the 
gas inlet. A test point (for checking the gas pressure) is 
supplied either with the regulator or as a separate fitting 
in the case of ULPG (propane) appliances. 
Connection of the appliance to the gas supply must be in 
accordance with the requirements of AS5601. A ½” BSP 
connector at the inlet is recommended and the gas 
supply line to the appliance must be of adequate length 
to allow sufficient withdrawal of appliance for service or

and flame checked and adjusted. 
Warranty service calls do not cover these adjustments! 
To check the operating pressure of the appliance it is recommended at 
least 2 large size burners are used. Ensure appliance is secured to wall 
when installation is completed. 
N.G. The regulator supplied must be fitted to the ½ BSP thread at the
