SECTION 1 - INSTALLATION
UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED, PARTS WHICH HAVE BEEN PROTECTED BY THE
MANUFACTURER ARE NOT TO BE ADJUSTED BY THE INSTALLER.
1.1 MODEL NUMBERS, NETT WEIGHTS
and DIMENSIONS
Take care when removing or installing cast iron components as they are heavy items.
Pan Support – 7kg
1.2 SITING
The appliance should be installed on a level, fireproof surface, in a well lit and draught free position.
If the floor is constructed of combustible material, then local fire requirements should be checked to
ensure compliance. A clear space of 150mm should be left
between rear and side of unit and any
combustible wall.
Important
If a unit is to be installed in suite formation with other matching appliances, the
instructions for all models must
be consulted to determine the necessary clearances
to
any combustible rear wall or overlying surface. Some models require greater
clearances than others and the largest figure quoted in individual instructions will
therefore determine the clearance for the complete suite of adjoining appliances.
The oven flue discharges vertically through hob rear.
There must be no direct connection of flue to
any mechanical extraction system or to the outside air.
Open top burners discharge combustion products
directly into the room.
Care should be taken not to disturb the air combustion admission and evacuation of open top burner
models.
1.3 VENTILATION
Adequate ventilation must be provided to supply sufficient fresh air for combustion and allow easy
removal of
combustion products which may be harmful to health. Recommendations for Ventilation of
Catering Appliances are given in BS5440:2.
For multiple installations the requirements for individual appliances should be added together. Installation
should be made in accordance with local and/or national regulations applying at the time. A
competent installer MUST be employed.
1.4 GAS SUPPLY
The incoming service must be of sufficient size to supply full rate without excessive pressure drop.
A gas meter is connected to the service pipe by gas supplier. Any existing meter should be checked
by supplier to ensure it is of adequate capacity to pass required rate for appliance in addition to
any other gas equipment installed.
Installation pipe work should be fitted in accordance with IGE/UP/2. The pipe work should be of adequate
size but not smaller than unit gas inlet connection, ie. Rp¾ (¾” B.S.P.). An isolating cock must be
located close by to allow shut-down during an emergency or servicing.
If flexible tube is used, the gas supply tubing or hose shall comply with national requirements in force. These
will be periodically examined and replaced as necessary.
The installation must be tested for gas tightness. Procedure details can be found in IGE/UP/1.
The adjustable governor supplied must be fitted to
natural gas appliances.
