Connecting the gas
The cooker should be connected to the gas-suply by a
corgi registered installer. During installation of this product
it is essential to fit an approved gas tap to isolate the supply
from the appliance for the convenience of any subsequent
removal or servicing. Connection of the appliance to the
gas mains or liquid gas must be carried out according to
the prescribed regulation in force, and only after it is
ascertained that it is adaptable to the type of gas to be
used. If not, follow the instructions indicated in the
paragraph headed “Adaptation to different gas types”. In
the case of connection to liquid gas, by tank, use pressure
regulators that conform to the regulation in force. The gas
supply must be connected to the right of the appliance.
Be sure that the hose does not pass through the rear of
the cooker touching hot parts.
Important: make sure the supply pressure conforms with
the values shown in the table entitled “Caracteristics of
the burners and nozzles”.
When the cooker is installed between cabinets (recessed),
the gas connection must be effected by an approved
flexible hose with bayonet fitting (BS 669 Current Edition).
The gas inlet for the cookers is a threaded G 1/2 gas
female fitting.

Connecting the gas supply
To make the connection, a flexible hose should be used
corresponding to the current gas regulations which are:

•

the hose must never be at any point in its lenght in
contact with the “hot” parts of the cooker;

•

the hose must never be longer than 1.5 metre;

•

the hose must not be subject to any tension or torsional
stress and it must not have any excessively narrow
curves or bottlenecks;

•

the hose must be easy to inspect along its entire lenght
to check its condition;

•

the hose must always be in good condition, never
attempt to repair.

Important: the installation must comply with gas safety
(installation and use) regulations 1984. In all cases for the
above, by low, a qualified, corgi approved engineer must
be called for installation.
