Instructions for the Installer

2.4 Gas connection

2.4.1Connection with rubber hose

When connecting with a rubber hose (which must be compliant with the relevant standards), ensure that the total length of the pipeline is not more than 1.5 metres; also ensure that the hose does not touch moving parts and is not crushed. The inside diameter of the hose must be 8 mm for BOTTLED GAS and 13 mm for NATURAL GAS and TOWN GAS.

Check that all the conditions listed below are met:

•the hose must be fixed to the hose connector with a safety band clamp;

•the hose does not touch hot surfaces at any point (max. 50 °C);

• there are no traction forces or stresses acting on the hose and there are no tight bends or kinks along its length;

•the hose does not touch sharp components or edges;

•if the hose is not perfectly gastight and causes gas leaks, do not attempt to repair it: replace it with a new hose;

•check that the hose's expiration date, screen-printed on it, has not been passed.

CONNECTION USING RUBBER HOSES COMPLIANT WITH THE RELEVANT STANDARDS IS ONLY PERMITTED IF THE HOSE IS ACCESSIBLE FOR INSPECTION ALONG ITS ENTIRE LENGTH.

2.4.2Natural and town gas connection

Make the connection to the gas main using a rubber hose compliant with the specifications provided in the relevant standard (check that the hose is marked with the code of this standard).

Screw the hose connector A on to the appliance's gas union B fitting the seal C between them. Fit the hose D onto the hose connector A and secure it with the band clamp E compliant with the relevant standards.

2.4.3Connecting to the gas cylinder in the compartment inside the appliance (on some

models only)

Open the compartment in the side of the appliance and place a gas cylinder of no more than 15 kg inside. Fit one end of the hose onto the hose connector and secure it with one of the two hose clamps provided. Insert the hose into the gas cylinder compartment through the hole on the rear of the appliance, as shown on the right. Fit the other end of the hose onto the gas cylinder pressure regulator and secure it with the other hose clamp provided. Check for any leaks with a soapy

solution, never with a naked light.

The connection between the cooker and the gas cylinder must be made using a piece of hose compliant with the relevant standards and at least 1.4 m long.
