CONNECTING THE COOKTOP TO THE GAS SUPPLY
The gas connection fitting (fig. 2.1) is made up of:
•
the floating nut;
•
the elbow;
•
the gaskets;
The gas connection must be carried out by an authorised person according to the
relevant local standards.
•
If using a flexible hose, make sure it does not come into contact with moving parts.
•
The rear of the chassis is recessed to provide a channel for the appliance inlet pipe.
•
The gas connection fitting can be turned in the direction required (but never in a vertical
or horizontal position) after loosening the elbow and floating nut connection.
•
Never attempt to turn the elbow without having first loosened the floating nut.
•
The supplied gaskets guarantee a good seal for the gas connection. We recommend
that you replace the gaskets on the slightest sign of wear, deformation or imperfection.
•
After connecting to the gas mains, check that the couplings are correctly sealed, using
soapy solution, but never a naked flame.
