The gas connection between the hob and the mains gas pipe must be in accordance with the basic regulations for gas installations in homes.

TEKA will not accept responsability for faults or damage caused by incorrect or defective instalation.

Once the gas connetion has been made the air tightness of the installation mus be chec- ked. If the check is made using air, the testing pressure must be no greater than 200 g/cm2 .

To avoid causing damage to the hob during installation when tightenig the gas pipe con- nection nut, a maximum grip torque of 350 kg.f.cm must be used.

After installing the hob, check that the bur- ners’ minimum settings are well regulated. To do this, light the burners and check that they do not go out when brusquely turned from maximum to minimum.

Do not connect the hob burners with town gas whose composition contains carbon monoxi- de, except in models which incorporate a safety device.

Each time the gas connection nut is removed the washer must be replaced.

(Only for cookers with automatic ignition or with electric hotplates).

First of all it must be checked that the mains voltage is the same as that indicated on the appliance’s rating plate.

The connection must be made through an omnipolar cut-off switch with a distance of at least 3 mm between the contacts, assuring disconnection in cases of emergency or for the cleaning of the hob. It must also be provi- ded with the correct earth connection in accor- dance with the applicable regulations.

In the event that it were necessary to replace the electrical cable of these appliances, this should be done by official TEKA technicians as specific tools are required.
