Connection to non-flexible tube (copper or steel)
Connection to the gas source must be done in such a way as to not create any stress points at
any part of the appliance. The appliance is fitted with an adjustable, "L" shaped connector and a
gasket for the attachment to the gas supply. Should this connector have to be turned, the gasket
must be replaced (supplied with the appliance). The feeding connector of the gas to the appliance
is threaded 1/2 gas male cylinder.
Connection to flexible steel tube
The gas feed connector to the appliance is a threaded, male 1/2" connector for round gas pipe.
Only use pipes and sealing gaskets that conform to the standards currently in force. The
maximum length of the flexible pipes must not exceed 2000 mm. Once the connection has been
made, ensure that the flexible metal tube does not touch any moving parts and is not crushed.
Check the Seal
Once the appliance has been installed, make sure all the connections are properly sealed, using
a soapy water solution. Never use a flame.
Electrical Connection
The cooktops fitted with a tripolar electrical supply cord are designed to be be used with
alternating current according to the indications on the rating plate located under the cooktop. The
earthing wire can be identified by its yellow-green colour. In the case of installation over a built-in
electric oven, the electrical connections for the cooktop and oven should be independent, not only
for safety purposes, but also to facilitate removal of one or both in the future.
Electrical Connection for Gas Cooktop
Fit the supply cord with a standard plug for the demand rate indicated on the rating plate or
connect it directly to the electrical mains. In the latter case, a single pole switch must be placed
between the appliance and the mains, with a minimum opening between the contacts of 3 mm in
compliance with current safety codes (the earthing wire must not be interrupted by the switch).
The power supply cord must be positioned so that it does not reach a temperature in excess of
50~C above room temperature at any point.
Before actual connection make sure that:
•
The fuse and electrical system can withstand the load required by the appliance;
•
That the electrical supply system is equipped with an efficient earth hook-up according to
the norms and regulations prescribed by law;
•
That the plug or switch are easily accessible.
Important:
the wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
