Installation
Check for gas leaks
This check should be carried out immediately after connecting the gas and each time the appliance is
reconnected after being unused for a time.
Once the rubber pipe is connected to the gas supply, carry out the following operations:
1) Open the gas valve on the LPG bottle (or turn the shut-off tap if methane supplied).
DO NOT LIGHT THE BURNERS YET.
2) With the gas pressure in the pipe, look for any leaks by brushing a soapy water-based solution onto the
gas unions. A gas leak will cause bubbles to form.
DO NOT USE NAKED FLAME TO LOOK FOR LEAKS.
3) Close the gas valve on the bottle (or the methane shut-off tap), eliminate the gas leak and repeat the test
as described in points 1 and 2.
General instructions about gas connection
We recommend checking that the appliance is properly set up for the type of gas distributed.
The connection to the gas pipes must be made in a workmanlike manner, in compliance
with current standards that prescribe the installation of a safety tap at the end of the pipe.
The threaded ½" gas connection pipe is located at the rear on the right hand side of the
appliance.
Using flexible rubber pipes with a max. length of 1500 mm:
• do not allow the pipes to be constricted or crushed;
• pipes must not be subject to tractive force or torsional stress;
• do not allow the pipes to come into contact with cutting or sharp edges, etc...
• do not allow the pipes to come into contact with parts that can reach temperatures of 70°C
above room temperature;
• make sure the entire length of the pipes can be inspected.
