Instructions for the Installer

9. GAS CONNECTION

Before installing, check that the local gas main (type and pressure) and

the appliance's settings are compatible.

There are 2 ways to connect the appliance to the domestic gas main:

1- Make two branches with a pipe or steel hose and unite them with a T-

fitting just downline of the gas main fitting, or

2- Unite the two gas fittings on the appliance itself with a pipe and

intercept the gas main fitting at the T-fitting.

In both cases, all pipes connected to the gas main must be equipped

with a safety shut off valve.

The connection to the gas mains may be made using a copper pipe or a

continuous-wall steel hose in accordance with the relevant regulations.

When installation is complete, check for any leaks with a soapy solution,

never with a naked light. The appliance has been tested for G20 (2H)

natural gas at the pressure of 20 mbar.

For use with other types of gas, see point. "10. ADAPTING TO

DIFFERENT TYPES OF GAS".

The gas intake connection has an external ½" gas thread (ISO 228-1).

Connection with copper pipe: The

connection to the gas supply mains

must be made so that no stresses or

strains of any kind are applied to the

appliance. The connection can be

made using the adapter unit C with

two conical elements, always fitting

the gasket A supplied.

Connection with steel hose: Use

only continuous wall steel hoses

which comply with the relevant

regulations, and always fit the

provided gasket A between the hob

fitting and the hose itself B.

When connecting with a hose, ensure that the total length of the pipeline is

not more than 1.5 metres; also ensure that the hoses do not touch moving

parts and are not crushed.

9.1 Bottled gas connection

Use a pressure regulator and make the connection to the gas cylinder in

accordance with the relevant regulations. Make sure that the gas supply

pressure is as stated in the table in point "10.2 Burner and Nozzle Data

Tables".

In this case as well, use a copper pipe or a continuous wall steel hose.
