Gas connecting

The appliance should be connected to the gas mains or to a gas cylinder in compliance with current Norms in force. Before making the connection, check that the cooker is regulated for the gas supply you are using. If not, follow the instructions indicated in the paragraph “Adapting to different types of gas.” On some models the gas supply can be connected on the left or on the right, as necessary; to change the connection, reverse the position of the hose holder with that of the cap and replace the gasket (sup- plied with the appliance). When using liquid gas from a cylinder, install a pressure regulator which complies with current Norms in force.

Important: Check that the supply pressure complies with the values indicated in table 1 “Burner and Nozzle Charac- teristics” since this will ensure safe operation, correct con- sumption and ensure a longer life to your appliance.

Connection with hose

Make the connection using a gas hose that complies with requirements set forth by the current standards. The inner diameters of the pipe are as follows:

- 8 mm for liquid gas;

-13mm for methane gas;

When installing the hose, remember to take the following precautions:

•No part of the hose should touch parts whose tem- perature exceeds 50°C;

•The length of the hose should be less than 1500 mm;

•The hose should not be subject to twisting or pulling, and should not have bends or kinks.

•The hose should not touch objects with sharp edges, moving parts, and it should not be crushed;

•The full length of the hose should be easy to inspect in order to check its condition;

Check that the hose fits firmly into place at the two ends and fix it with clamps complying with current standards. If any of the above recommendations can not be followed, flexible metal pipes should be used.

If the cooker is installed according to the conditions of Class 2, subdivision 1, only a flexible metal pipe which is in compliance with current safety standards should be used to make the connection to the gas mains.

Connecting a flexible jointless stainless steel pipe to a threaded attachment

The gas supply pipe fitting is a threaded 1/2 gas cylindrical male attachment. Only use pipes and gaskets complying with current standards. The full length of the pipe must not exceed 2000 mm.

Checking that the connection is tight

Important: When installation has been completed, check the pipe fittings for leaks using a soapy solution. Never use a flame.

Once the connection has been made, ensure that the flex- ible metal pipe does not touch any moving parts and is not crushed.

Connecting the supply cable to the mains

Install a standardised plug corresponding to the load indi- cated on the data plate. When connecting the cable di- rectly to the mains, install an omnipolar circuit-breaker with a minimum contact opening of 3 mm between the appli- ance and the mains. The omnipolar circuit breaker should be sized according to the load and should comply with current regulations (the earth wire should not be interrupted by the circuit breaker). The supply cable must be in such a position that no part of it can reach a temperature of 50°C above room temperature. Before connecting to the power supply, make sure that:

•the limiter valve and the domestic system can with- stand the load from the appliance (see rating plate);

•the mains are properly earthed in compliance with cur- rent directives and regulations;

•there is easy access to the socket and omnipolar cir- cuit breaker, once the hob has been installed.

N.B.:never use reducers, adapters or shunts since they can cause heating or burning.

Adapting the cooker to different types of gas

In order to adapt the cooker to a different type of gas with respect to the gas for which it was manufactured (indi- cated on the label attached to the back of the appliance and to the packaging), follow these steps:

a)replace the hose holder mounted on the appliance with that supplied in the bag of “cooker accessories”.

Warning: The hose holder for liquid gas is marked 8, the hose holder for methane gas is marked 13. Always fit a new sealing gasket.

b)Replacing the burner nozzles on the hob:

•remove the grids and slide the burners from their housings;

•unscrew the nozzles using a 7 mm socket spanner, and replace them with nozzles for the new type of gas (see table 1 “Burner and nozzle characteristics”).

•Replace all the parts, following the steps described above in the reverse order.

c)Minimum regulation of the hob burners:

• turn the tap to minimum;
