Specifications

1. GAS CONNECTION
Before installation, ensure that the local distribution
conditions (identification of the type of gas and
supply pressure) and the adjustment of the appliance
are compatible.
It is important to ensure that all pipe work installed is
fitted in accordance with BS6891 and is capable of
supplying sufficient gas flow and pressure to meet the
minimum pressures quoted on page 10 of this manual.
A minimum pipe size of 15 mm should be used for the
gas supply to within 1 metre of the appliance. 8 mm
pipe may only be used for the final connection to the
stove, or within 1 metre of the appliance. An 8 mm nut
and olive is supplied with the stove for the final pipe
joint. A length of formed pipe is supplied with the stove
and test point elbow (with isolation valve), please fit as
desired and check soundness before final positioning of
the appliance.
Do not make any connections to the appliance until all
supply pipes have been purged to expel any dust or
debris. Failure to do this may result in a blocked
injector or tap and will invalidate the guarantee.
Although a gas soundness test is made on all
appliances before they leave the factory, the
appliance must be tested for soundness before
operating the stove. This is to ensure that the burner
has not been damaged in transit.
The Exminster gas stove is designed to be used with
either Natural Gas or LPG, however each individual
appliance is only capable of using the gas specified at
the time of purchase. It is important to note that once a
gas type has been specified, the stove cannot use any
other gas. The type of gas the stove is capable of
burning is stated on the data plate located on the front
of the stove, by the control knob, check that the
appliance has been correctly supplied.

very hot, care must be taken when adjusting coals after
the appliance has been lit and Yeoman Stoves accept no
responsibility for any injury sustained whilst handling
