Gas connection

Fitting the appliance and cabinet

The gas supply connection ramp is positioned in the front upper side of the oven, behind the control panel.

To carry out the gas connection, partially insert the oven in the recess (about 30 cm.) and operate on the connection ramp from the top. The gas connection can be carried out in both the following systems:

1)

Fig. 6 — flexible metallic pipes (with maximum length

 

up to 2 metres only) — screw the feed pipe to the

 

1/2“ connection ramp, inserting the gasket provided

 

between the pipe and the ramp;

2)

Fig. 7 — rigid metallic pipe (soft copper - minimum

 

diameter: 8 mm) — insert the copper pipe into the

 

connection ramp after fitting the correct nut and olive

 

onto the copper pipe using a male / female adapter

(not supplied).

To carry out the connection:

- tighten (fig.8) the nuts by means of a 22 mm. spanner,

nut

rigid metallic pipe

in order to keep the ramp in position and not to cause

any distortion to the gas supply circuit.

- completely insert the oven in the recess and secure it

as indicated in the relevant paragraph.

Check the gas supply ramp and the gas

connection pipe are not squeezed while the oven is positioned into the recess.

The use of rubber flexible hoses is not permitted.

WARNINGS

The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the production of heat and moisture in the room in which it is installed. Ensure that the kitchen is well ventilated: keep natural ventilation holes open or install a mechanical ventilation device (mechanical extractor hood).

Prolonged intensive use of the appliance may call for additional ventilation, for example opening a window, or more effective ventilation, for example increasing the level of mechanical ventilation where present.

Check the perfect sealing of the connection using leak detection fluid.
