GAS CONNECTION WITH RIGID PIPES OR A FLEXIBLE PIPE
The gas connection is made up of:
•
the terminal fitting of the inlet pipe (right-hand or left-hand);
•
sealing washer.
Important!
If fitted, remove the hose holder from the terminal fitting of the inlet pipe.
When connecting the cooker to the gas supply with rigid pipes or a flexible pipe,
make sure that
•
you use rigid pipes or a flexible pipe complying with applicable local regulations. The
flexible pipe shall be of the correct construction for the type of gas being used.
•
if compression fittings are used, you tighten them firmly using two spanners (fig. 9.7).
•
the connection with rigid metal pipes does not cause stress or pressure to the gas
piping.
•
the flexible pipe is not under tension, twisted, kinked or too tightly bent, neither while
the appliance is in use nor while it is being connected or disconnected.
•
the flexiple pipe does not exceed 2000 mm in length (or refer to applicable local
regulations) and does not come into contact with sharp edges, corners or moving
parts. Use a single flexible pipe only; never connect the cooker with more than one
flexible pipe.
•
the flexible pipe can easily be inspected along its entire length to check its condition; if
it has an expiry date, it should be replaced before that date.
•
if using a flexible pipe which is not entirely made of metal, make sure that it does not
come into contact with any part of the cooker with a surface temperature of 70°C or
above (or refer to applicable local regulations).
•
the hose is not subject to excessive heat by direct exposure to flue products or by
contact with hot surfaces.
•
the rigid or flexible pipe is replaced if it shows signs of wear or damage.
•
a gas pressure regulator, in compliance with the applicable local regulations, is
installed when connecting to an LPG cylinder.
•
you inform the customer that the cylinder valve or the supply valve immediately by the
appliance should be closed when the cooker is not in use.
•
you inform the customer that the rigid or flexible pipe should not be subjected to
corrosion by acidic cleaning agents.
After connecting the cooker to the gas supply, make sure that you
•
check that the connections are correctly sealed using a soapy solution, but never a
naked flame.
•
check whether the injectors are correct for the type of gas being used. If not, follow the
instructions under “GAS MAINTENANCE”.
•
replace the sealing washer/s on the slightest sign of deformation or imperfection. The
sealing washer/s is/are the part/s which guarantee/s a good seal in the gas connection.
•
use two spanners when connecting the rigid or flexible pipe (fig. 9.7).
