GAS CONNECTION
• Preliminary comments
If your hob is installed above an oven or if proximity to other heating elements poses a
threat of overheating the connection, you must insulate the cable in a rigid pipe.
If a hose or soft pipe (in the case of butane gas) is used, it should not come into contact
with a moving part of the cabinet, nor should it pass through a location that may become
blocked.
