One of the 3 following connections must
be used:
-
connection with a rigid pipe
(gas
standard G1/2).
The connection should be made at the end of
the elbow seal on the appliance,
or
-
connection with a reinforced,
braided, flexible gas hose with threa-
ded connectors
(

).
You may also use a "Gazinox" type, stain-
less steel flexible tube available from your
local distributor,
or
- connection with a flexible gas ho-
se with threaded connectors
(

Preliminary remarks
Access to the whole length of the connection hose must be possible and the gas hose
must be replaced before its use before date (indicated on the hose).
Whatever means of connections is chosen, make sure that it is gas sound after
installation by using soapy-water.
If the hob is to be installed above an
oven or if other nearby heating
appliances risk heating and damaging the
gas hose then it is essential that a rigid
pipe be installed instead.
If a flexible hose is used (in the case of
butane gas) then it must not be installed
in a place where it may be in contact with
a moving part of the kitchen unit or a pla-
ce likely to get cluttered.
