Safety Instructions
PRODUCT INSTALLATION MUST BE CARRIED OUT BY A REGISTERED ENGINEER
The unit should be installed in compliance with the INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS and the
NATIONAL REGULATIONS in force at the time. Particular attention should be paid to the Gas
Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations and the Health and Safety at Work Act.
All commercial gas catering equipment is recommended to be mounted below an extraction
canopy. Please consult a ventilation engineer or refer to Guidelines DW172 to calculate the
ventilation requirements for cooking areas containing different pieces of gas catering
equipment.
Each appliance requires a flow of fresh air for combustion. Under no circumstances should
air vents on the appliances, or air vents installed by the fitter in the room of the appliance to
supply combustion air, be altered or omitted in any way.
Attention should be drawn to the fact that parts of this unit by necessity, will get VERY HOT,
and will cause burns if touched accidentally. Therefore, it is the responsibility of the
supervisor or equivalent to provide SUITABLE PROTECTIVE CLOTHING for the user.
To prevent shocks, all appliances whether gas or electric, must be earthed.
To avoid scratching the highly polished exterior surface of this equipment whilst in transit,
the protective film on the exterior surfaces has NOT been removed. It is IMPORTANT that
this protective film is peeled off before the equipment is used.

Installation Instructions
Before installation check data plate on rear of unit to ensure appliance is suitable for gas
supply available.
During installation the provision of combustion air to the appliance through base and rear of
appliance must be made. This should not be blocked at any time.
This appliance should be installed with adequate ventilation to prevent the occurrence of
unacceptable concentrations of substances harmful to health in the room in which it is
installed.
POSITIONING
The appliance must not be installed on or against combustible surfaces –minimum
clearances must be:
Rear 150mm (6”)
Sides 150mm (6”)
Hotplate to combustible material 1525mm (60”)
All local fire regulations should be observed.
It is recommended that the appliance be sited below a ventilating hood preferably of the
extractor type incorporating a grease filter.
Appliances are designed to be installed and fitted on a Parry stand for stability. If they are
fitted on any other surface they should be suitably secured.
GAS CONNECTION
The size of the supply pipe should be no less than ¾” B.S.P. and an easily accessible isolation
tap fitted close to the appliance in the gas line. Although a rigid connection is
recommended. An approved armoured flexible pipe may be used in conjunction with a
straining cable.
Before the appliance is commissioned the gas safety regulations require that all connections
on the gas line are tested for gas soundness between the gas meter and the appliance.
All packing and protective film must be removed from panels etc. prior to commissioning
the appliance.

Installation Instructions
Gas hoses used to connect the appliance to the gas supply must be of the correct
specification for the gas and pressure of the appliance. The gas hose must comply with the
national requirements in force, and be CE marked, of a metal braided construction suitable
for commercial catering equipment. The hoses should be periodically examined and
replaced as necessary
The tube or hose shall be fitted such that there are no sharp bends or torsional strain which
may cause damage or failure of the tube or hose, especially near the end fittings. Torsional
strain can be prevented by using internal unions, swivel joints, etc. The bend radius should
not exceed that stated by the Manufacturer. The hose should not touch the ground and
should be no longer than 1.5m long.
A manual valve should be positioned upstream of the tube or hose unless the connection
fitting incorporates a self-sealing quick release coupling.
Where a quick release coupling is used for horizontal travel such as in commercial catering
appliances it is advisable that the coupling is facing downwards to prevent the ingress of
debris and ensure the hose is formed in to a smooth curve.
All units should have a restraining cable fitted preventing the unit from being pulled away
from the wall and causing the gas hose to become disconnected accidentally.
