convert it for other gases.
Installation pipe work should be fitted in accordance with local / national standards. The pipe
work must not be smaller than unit gas inlet connection, i.e. Rp¾ (¾” B.S.P.). If using
flexible hosing, the length must not exceed 1.5m. An isolating valve must be located close by
for shut-down during an emergency or servicing.
If flexible hose is used, it shall comply with national requirements. These must be
periodically examined and replaced as necessary. If a retention chain is required then attach
the fixing on the rear top panel.

6.3.2 This appliance is also provided with a terminal for connection of an external
equipotential conductor. This terminal is in effective electrical contact with all fixed
exposed metal parts of the appliance, and shall allow the connection of conductor
having a nominal cross-section area of up to 10mm².
It is located at the rear of the unit and identified by the following label and must only
be used for bonding purposes.
6.4 ASSEMBLY
6.4.1Position appliance and level using feet or castor adjusters as shown below. Fit anti tilt
