Built in Oven

In the instructions it says to use either 'metal pipe' or a 'continuous-wall stainless steel hose'.

Anybody any idea what this hose is?

This sounds to me like a commercial hose. They are like tracpipe

But I would ring manufacturer. May just be lost in translation and you can use a standard hose

Braided hose I mean. Not cooker. Lol

Joke ( just incase gassafepr is looking at this)

This is from the instructions

Just had a look at BES, found this:

Gas Armoured & Convoluted Hoses

Maybe this is what it means.

I don't think your allowed to use that on domestic. Only a standard black hose

Speak to manufacturer

Thanks,

I've emailed the manufacturer, I'll await their reply.

Looks like I'm not the only one with a similar problem.

I've contacted Hotpoint and to be honest they couldn't have been more unhelpful. I'm no clearer yet.

SOLVED: Hotpoint have updated their installation instructions for this to say a flexible connection manufactured to BS 669 is OK.

This means that a cooker hose is OK.
