WARNING!
The following instructions about in-
stallation, connection and mainte-
nance must be carried out by quali-
fied personnel in compliance with
standards and local regulations in
force.
GAS CONNECTION
Choose fixed connections or use a flexible
pipe in stainless steel in compliance with
the regulation in force. If you use flexible
metallic pipes, be careful they do not come
in touch with mobile parts or they are not
squeezed. Also be careful when the hob is
put together with an oven.
Make sure that the gas supply
pressure of the appliance obeys
the recommended values. The ad-
justable connection is fixed to the
comprehensive ramp by means of
a threaded nut G 1/2". Screw the
parts without force, adjust the con-
nection in the necessary direction
and tighten everything.

Rigid connection:
Carry out connection by using metal rigid
pipes (copper with mechanical end).
"Flexible" connection with
mechanical end:
–
Natural gas
: connection carry out with
a flexible pipe with mechanical end
which is screwed directly on the elbow
finishing the slope of the appliance.
–
Butane / Propane
: use a flexible tube,
equipped with it's collars if it is worth vis-
iting over all it's length and if the appli-
ance runs only on butane. If the appli-
ance runs on Propane, use a flexible
pipe with suitable metal end.
Flexible nonmetal pipes
connection:
If it is possible to easily control the connec-
tion in its full area, you can use a flexible
pipe. Tightly attach the flexible pipe by
clamps.
Liquid gas
: use the rubber pipe holder. Al-
ways engage the gasket. Then continue
with the gas connection. The flexible pipe is
prepared for apply when:
– it can not get hot more than room tem-
perature, higher than 30°C;
– it is no longer than 1500 mm;
– it shows no throttles;
– it is not subject to traction or torsion;
– it does not get in touch with cutting
edges or corners;
– it can be easily examined in order to
check its condition.
The control of preservation of the flexible
pipe consists in checking that:
– it does not show cracks, cuts, marks of
burnings on the two ends and on its full
length;
– the material is not hardened, but shows
its correct elasticity;
– the fastening clamps are not rusted;
– expired term is not due.
If one or more defects are visible, do not
repair the pipe, but replace it.
