Preparing the gas connection
Risk of explosion due to improper instal-
lation of the gas connection!
• Make sure that the operating pressure
of the gas supply corresponds to the
operating pressure of the appliance
10.5 – 14 in. wc (26.2 – 34.9 mbar).
For correct installation, you must also ob-
serve the following:
• The gas connection (SAE 45° Flare Male –
SAE J512, 5/8 in. – 18) is located inside the
appliance.
• Make sure that the gas line to the appliance is
able to supply the maximum required quan-
tity of gas (≥ 60,000 BTU/h), without the gas
pressure on the gas connector of the appli-
ance falling below 10.5 in. wc (26.2 mbar).
• Consider the space needed to lay the gas
line and integrate the appliance when plan-
ning the installation space.
• Guide the gas line into the installation space
so that the appliance may be removed and
reinstalled if service or repairs are needed.
• Allow sufficient length and flexibility in the
gas line for connection or disconnection of
the gas line.
• Reduce the number of separation points in
the gas line to the technically required num-
ber.
• Avoid separation points in the gas line in
spaces used by people.
• Ensure that the gas connection from the
vehicle is in place before installing the appli-
ance.

– Gas side connection
Risk of explosion due to improper instal-
lation of the gas side connection!
• Use rigid metal 3/8 in. pipes (corresponds to
1/2 in. (12.7 mm) outside diameter) for the
side gas connector of the appliance to the
gas system of the RV.
• In exceptions, flexible gas hoses may be
used for the side gas connector. The fol-
lowing 4 conditions must be met:
1. Guidelines, laws or regulations allow the
use of flexible gas hoses in this applica-
tion.
2. The flexible gas hoses are certified for
this type of application.
3. The flexible gas hoses can be inspected
easily over their entire length.
4. New flexible gas hoses are used for the
installation.
The gas line is guided into the appliance from
the side. A hole with a gas pipe grommet (side)
is provided in the unit casing for this purpose.
• Slide the appliance carefully into the installa-
tion space until the installation frame makes
contact.
• Make sure that the gas line connects verti-
cally with the appliance's gas connection
and without tension.
• If the connection is OK, push the gas line
back. It will be connected in a later step.
