Fixing and use of the 2 clips provided with the cooker
The enclosed gas hose fixing clips must be fixed to the back of the cooker, dependant on the position of the supply bayonet connector (see fig.).
When selecting the most suitable position for the clips, please ensure that the gas hose cannot come into contact with any part of the “Hot zone” (indicated by the shaded areas on the illustration) when pushing the cooker into its final position.
Finally, secure the hose into the clips.
Rigid Connection
Where it is not possible to make the connection using a rubber hose, a rigid pipe work connection must be used.

-The appliance flexible connector should not be subjected to undue forces either in normal use or whilst connected or disconnected; The socket which the plug of the appliance flexible connector fits should be permanently attached to a firmly fixed gas installation pipe and positioned such that the appliance flexible connector hose hangs freely downwards (see fig.);
-The appliance flexible connector should be positioned such that it will not suffer mechanical damage, e.g. abrasion from the surrounding kitchen furniture, which may be moved in use such as a drawer or door, or by being trapped by any stability device.
