8. GAS CONNECTION
After carrying out any operation on the appliance, check that the gas
connections are properly tightened.
The tightening torque must be 15 Nm minimum and 20 Nm maximum.
If required by the type of gas, use a pressure regulator that complies with
current regulations.
At the end of the installation, check for any leaks with a soapy solution, never
with a flame.
Installation with flexible hose must be carried out so that the length of the piping
does not exceed 2 metres when fully extended; make sure that the hoses do not
come into contact with moving parts and that they are not crushed in any way.
The cooker hob is preset for natural gas G20 (2H) at a pressure of 20 mbar.
For supplying it with other types of gas, see chapter "9. ADAPTATION TO
DIFFERENT TYPES OF GAS". The gas inlet connection is threaded ½” for
external gas (ISO 228-1).
Connection to the gas supply network can be made using a rigid copper hose
or a continuous wall flexible steel hose in compliance with the provisions
established by the applicable standard.
8.1 Connector orientation
To facilitate the connection, connector 1 on the back of the appliance can be
orientated laterally; loosen hexagonal nut 2, twist connector 1 into the required
position then retighten hexagonal nut 2 (it is sealed with a rubber gasket). Once
the operation is complete, check the hose fittings for leaks using a soapy
solution; never use a flame.
8.2 Connection with a flexible steel hose
Make the connection to the gas mains using a continuous
wall flexible steel hose whose specifications comply with
the current regulations.
Carefully screw the connector 4 to the gas connector 1 of
the appliance, placing the seal 3 between them.
