The connection of the cooker to the gas bottle or to the
mains should only be carried out after the unit has been
regulated for use with the type of gas which will be
supplied. For safe operation, minimum consumption and
longer duration of the unit, make sure that the pressure
of supply is equal to the value indicated in the Technical
Data table.
Rigid connection
For a greater safety, it is advisable to make a rigid
connection to the gas installation. The coupling to the
unit is of Gc 1/2 type. If the connection pipe is in metal,
an insulated adaptor must be interposed between the
coupling and the tube.
Connection with flexible pipe
Use a flexible gas pipe, according to the characteristics
indicated by the existing regulations. The pipe should be
well fitted and fixed by means of a clamp. To reach the
supply connection, the pipe should be passed behind
the cooker as shown in Fig. 16. We bring to your attention
some of the main existing regulations. The flexible tube
must not be reach in any point a temperature higher than
90°C, it should not be no longer than 1,5m. It should not
be subjected to any kind of traction or torsion and it should
not be allowed to be excessively bent. An easy access
should be allowed to periodically check its condition.
Should any leaking occur, do not repair il but instead
replace it.
Service
To guarantee good working order and safety, the regulation
taps should be periodically greased. Service can be made
in the following way: Remove the knobs and the control
panel after having removed the fixing screws. Unscrew
the 2 screws placed at the sides of the burner valve shaft.
Unwind the cone and clean it with care; then spread over
the valve a thin layer of grease not soluble by hydrocarbon.
Pay attention to the fact that too much grease can
obstruct the passage of gas. To fit again the burner valve
in the normal position, you should reverse the procedure
outlined above.
