Be sure to fit the conical connector as indicated in figure 2.3.
Pay special attention to not
loosen the elbow and floating nut connection
when

• the flexible hose shall be located in an easily accessible position for inspection, to
check its condition. It has to be replaced if it shows signs of wear or damage. If it has
an expiry date, it should be replaced before that date.
• the flexible hose shall be suitable for the type of gas supply and supply pressure to
which it will be connected.
• the flexible hose shall not be more than one meter in length for domestic appliance
connection. Use a single flexible hose only; never connect the cooktop with more than
one flexible hose.
• the flexible hose shall not be subjected to any undue excessive forces either in normal
use or whilst being connected or disconnected.
• the flexible hose shall not be subjected to excessive heat by direct exposure or by
contact with hot surfaces.
