APPLIANCE GAS CONNECTION & COMMISSIONING
Once the engine has been installed and xed to the building the gas and electricity can be connected. Some
installers elect to leave this until the decorating has been completed and the installation can be nished, remember
that the trim can not be attached until the wall lining is nished.
CAUTION
If commissioning is to be carried out after the decorating has been completed, leave a protective
cardboard cover taped to the front of the engine using a low-tack tape to prevent plaster dust and
debris from entering the engine and damaging the paint work.
Isolate the power and gas supplies before commencing work on the appliance.
