27The handles should be above the fixings.Remove the 4mm Allen screws from the top corners ofthe fascia and fix the front handrail in position.Fitting the splash back(optional)Remove the two fixing screws (3mm hexagonal sockethead) and nuts that pass through the top of the rearflue grille. Hold the splash back in position. From therear refit the 2 fixing screws and nuts.Fitting a stability bracketA stability bracket or chain (not supplied with thecooker) should be fitted when the cooker is connectedto a flexible gas supply.When fitting a stability bracket read these instructionstogether with the leaflet supplied with the bracket.1. Place the cooker in its intended position and levelthe cooker.2. Draw a pencil line 100mm from the front edge ofthe levelling feet.3. Mark the centre line for the bracket by measuring550mm from the left hand side of the cooker.4. Lower the front roller and move the cooker forward.5. Measure back from the pencil line 550mm to locatethe front edge of the bracket. Fix the bracket to thefloor.6. Measure the height from floor level to engagementedge in back of cooker. Add 3mm to this dimensionand assemble the stability bracket to this height.(i.e. from floor level to underside of the topmember) and ensure the bracket does not foul theoven burner assembly.Gas ConnectionThe Gas supply needs to terminate with a down facingbayonet. The rear cover boxes limit the position of thesupply point.view from the rearA position for gas supply connectorB appliance gas inletBecause the height of the cooker can be adjusted andeach connection is different it is difficult to give precisedimensions. Ideally the house supply bayonet shouldbe in the shaded area shown in the diagram. Althougha 900mm hose can be used, a 1250mm hose will allowslightly more flexibility in the positioning of the bayonetand make moving the cooker easier. The hose shouldbe fitted so that both inlet and outlet connections arevertical so that the hose hangs downwards.The connector is located just below the hotplate levelat the rear of the cooker.For Natural Gas the flexible hose must be inaccordance with B.S.669.For LP Gas it should be capable of 50mbarpressure, 70°C temperature rise and carry a redstripe, band or label.If in doubt contact, your supplier.Screw connect the threaded end of the hose into thegas inlet in the underside of the connector block on theback of the cooker.After completing the gas connection, check the cookeris gas sound with a pressure test.
