thanks for helping, we cant find the original booklet but have had it for years...maybe best to renew it now..i just wanted to know why you cant use a flexible hose is it because of the heat or just a regualtion type thing....i.e flued appliance as informed here
Thanks to all for your help...i really wasnt having a go at the gas engineer..simply wanted to know why hoses arent used...we are glad he turned the item off......
