Installing your gas cooker

18

If you require any technical guidance or find that your product is not operating as intended, a simple solution can often be found in the 

Troubleshooting

 section of these instructions, 

ensure the minimum gas consumption. If the pressure 
of used gas is different than the values stated or is not 
stable in your area, it may be necessary to assemble an 
available pressure regulator on the gas inlet. You should 
contact an authorised service centre to make these 
adjustments.

Points that must be checked during flexible 

hose assembly

•  If the gas connection is made by a flexible hose 

fixed onto the gas inlet of the hob, it must be fixed 
on by a pipe collar.

•  Connect your appliance with a short and durable 

hose that is as close as possible to the gas source.

•  The permitted maximum length of the hose is 1.5 

m.

•  The hose that supplies the appliance with gas must 

be changed once a year for your safety.

•  The hose must be kept clear of areas that may heat 

up to temperatures of more than 90°C.

•  The hose must not be cracked, torn, bent or folded.

•  Keep the hose clear of sharp corners and objects 

that could move.

•  Before you assemble the connection, you must 

make sure the hose is not damaged. Use bubbly 
water or leakage fluids to perform the check. Do 
not use a naked flame to check for gas leakage.

•  All metal items that are used during gas connection 

must be free from rust. Check the expiry date of any 
components used for connection.

Points that must be checked during fixed 

gas connection assembly

The method used to assemble a fixed gas connection 
(gas connection made by threads, e.g. a nut) varies 
according to the country you are in. The most 
common parts for your country will be supplied 
with your appliance. Any other parts required can be 
supplied as spare parts.

During connection, always keep the nut on the gas 
manifold fixed while rotating the counter-part. Use 
appropriately-sized spanners for a safe connection. For 
surfaces between different components always use the 
seals provided in the gas conversion kit.

The seals used during connection should also be 
approved to be used in gas connections. Do not use 
plumbing seals for gas connections.

Remember that this appliance is ready to be connected 
to the gas supply in the country for which it has been 
produced. The main country of destination is marked 
on the rear cover of the appliance. If you need to use it 
in another country, any of the connections in the figure 
below may be required. In such a case, contact local 
authorities to learn the correct gas connection.
