Connection to the gas supply
The gas connection must be made in accordance with the local standards.
When installing, fit a safety tap at the end of the pipeline. The appliance
leaves the factory tested and set for the type of gas indicated on the plate
inside the bottom guard, close to the gas connection pipe. Make sure that
the type of gas to be supplied to the appliance is the same as that shown on
the plate. Otherwise, follow the instructions provided in the “Adapting to
different types of gas” section.
For maximum efficiency and minimum consumption, make sure that the gas
supply pressure complies with the values shown on the appliance. A
suitable pressure regulator must be installed on the supply pipeline. The
union must be fitted on the end of the gas train. Complete with GJ½”
threaded nut, fit the gasket between the components as shown in the illustration. The gaskets must
comply with the local standards. Screw the parts together without forcing it, fit the union so that it
points in the direction required, then tighten all parts.
Connection
Make sure the connection to the gas system is using a rigid metal pipe and regulation unions, or with
a stainless steel hose complying with the local standard. If metal hoses are used, take care that they
do not come into contact with mobile parts and are not crushed. This must also be checked if the
hob is to be combined with an oven.
The gas intake connection of the appliance has a “male thread”.
When making the connection, take care not to apply stresses of any kind to the appliance.
When the installation is complete, always check that all the unions are absolutely tight
using a soapy solution.
Never use a flame to make this check.
