INSTALLATION
8) GAS CONNECTION
Before connecting the appliance, check that
the values on the data label affixed to the
underside of the hot plate correspond to those
of the gas and electricity mains in the home.
A label on the appliance indicates the
regulating conditions: type of gas and working
pressure. Gas connection must comply with the
pertinent standards and provisions in force.
When gas is supplied through ducts,
the
appliance must be connected to the gas supply
system:
o with a rigid steel pipe. The joints of this pipe must
consist of threaded fittings conforming to the
standards.
o With copper pipe. The joints of this pipe must
consist of unions with mechanical seals.
o With seamless flexible stainless steel pipe. The
length of this pipe must be 2 meters at most and
the seals must comply with the standards.
When the gas is supplied by a bottle,
the
appliance must be fuelled by a pressure governor
conforming to the provisions in force and must be
connected:
o with a copper pipe. The joints of this pipe must
consist of unions with mechanical seals.
o With seamless flexible stainless steel pipe. The
length of this pipe must be 2 meters at most and
the seals must comply with the standards. It is
advisable to apply the special adapter to the
flexible pipe. This is easily available from the
shops and facilitates connection with the hose
nipple of the pressure governor on the bottle.
o With rubber hose pipe in compliance with
standards. The diameter of this hose pipe must
be 8 mm and its length must be no less than 400
mm and no more than 1500 mm. It must be firmly
fixed to the hose nipple by means of the safety
clamp specified by standards.
In case of liquid bottledgas supply, mount a
pressure governor according to the regulations in
force.
To connect the hob with the bottled pressure
governor use a flexible tube 95 cm. lenght fastened
by hose clamp.
This tube must run as shown in fig. 9/A and 9/B in
order to avoid contact with the heating surfaces.
WARNINGS:
Remember that the gas inlet union on the
appliance is a 1/2" gas parallel male type in
compliance with ISO 228-1 standards.
Installation of stainless steel pipe and rubber
hose pipe must ensure that it is never able to
touch mobile parts of the built-in cabinet (eg.
drawers). Furthermore, it must not pass
through compartments that could be used for
storage purposes.
When using a rubber hose pipe, it is essential to
comply with the following instructions:
- No part of the pipe must be able to touch
parts the temperature of which exceeds 65 K.
- The pipe must not be pulled or twisted,
throttled or tughtly bent.
- It must not come into contact with sharp
edges or corners.
- It must be easy to inspect the entire pipe
length in order to check its state of wear.
- The pipe must be replaced within the date
stamped on the pipe itself.
- The appliance complies with the provisions of
the following EEC Directives:
90/396 + 93/68 regarding gas safety.
