is a minimum of 420 mm. above the worktop. The minimum
distance combustible material kitchen units can be fitted

Gas connection
The cooker should be connected to the gas-supply 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
left of the appliance. Be sure that the hose does not pass
through the rear of the cooker touching hot parts.
