4.5 Gas connection

This appliance must be installed and connected in accordance with the

installation regulations in force in the country in which the appliance is to be used.

This appliance is made to run on natural gas only and cannot be used on any other type of gas without modification. Conversion for use on LPG and other gases must only be undertaken by a qualified person.

Gas distributed by pipe (natural gas, propane-air gas or butane-air gas) The gas inlet connection fitting is 1/2 inch female thread. For your safety, you must choose from the three following connection options:

Connection with a rigid pipe made from copper and with

 

screw-on mechanical connectors. Make the connection

1/2 inch

You can use a flexible stainless steel pipe available from

 

your after sales service department. Use the correct fittings!

For safety reasons, we advise making the connection with a rigid pipe if possible using a flexible undulated metal tube with screw-on connectors (maximum length 2 metres, Fig. A).

For an existing installation, where it is not possible to fit a reinforced, braided, flexible gas hose, the connection can be made with a flexible gas hose (maximum length 2 metres), with two clamps: one on the connector, the other on the pressure regulator. A gasket should be fitted between the connector and the hob’s elbow (Fig. B).

A full operational and leakage test must be carried out by the fitter after installation.
