Just had a Corgi round to install a built-in Baumatic gas oven with hob
above. However, he and I were both scratching our heads over the oven
installation instructions, which state:

"Warning: the use of a flexible rubber tubing attached to the outlet
connector is prohibited because it cannot be inspected".

Now given that the gas hob definitely needs to be fitted with fixed pipe
work, how the hell can the oven also be fitted that way? There's no way
to access the back of the oven. We wondered about the wisdom of making
a large access hole in the external wall of the house but that seemed a
*tad* like overkill, so the Corgi just fitted the oven in the normal way
using a rubber hose/bayonet connector.

Bizzarre or what? Anyone able to shed any light on this?

Fixed ovens and hobs MUST be installed with fixed pipework. As the
instructions state it's impossible to move a fixed oven to inspect the
hose.

Moveable cookers can be installed with flexi-hoses.

To fit the oven it is possible to have access via the kickspace void
beneath. Fit a pipe on the oven and access this via the kickspace void. A
compression joint can be used here for a disconnection device.
