GAS CONNECTION
Before connecting the appliance check that the data
on the rating plate affixed to the cooker, correspond
to those of the gas mains.
A label on the back of this handbook and at the back of
the cooker gives the appliance adjustment conditions,
that is, the type of gas and operating pressure.
Once the cooker is installed, check there are no leaks
using a soapy solution (never a flame).
The appliance’s gas inlet fitting is a threaded 1/2”
male cylindrical type, in compliance with the UNI-ISO
228-1 standards. If gas is distributed through ducts
the appliance must be connected to the gas mains with:
•
a rigid steel pipe, in accordance with standards,
whose joints must be made using threaded fittings in
accordance with the UNI-ISO 7/1 standard. The use
of hemp with suitable adhesives or Teflon tape as a
sealant is allowed.
•
copper pipe, in accordance with the standard, whose
joints must be made using sealed fittings in accordance
with the standard.
•
a flexible stainless steel, seamless pipe in accordance
with the standard, with a maximum 2 metre extension
and seals in accordance with the standard.
•
a flexible rubber hose in accordance with the standard,
with an 8 mm diameter for LPG and 13 mm for natural
gas or town gas, maximum 1500 mm in length, firmly
secured to the hose fitting with a safety clamp as per
the standard.
If the gas is supplied directly from a gas cylinder, the
appliance, fed by a pressure regulator in accordance with
the standard, must be connected:
