For the installation, observe the currently applic-
able building regulations and the regulations of
the local gas suppliers.

The appliance comes with two connection elbows
(appliance-side G½'').
Select the right version according to the country:

Use one of the supplied connection elbows and the
corresponding seal to connect the appliance to a
fixed power cable or a gas safety hose.
The gas safety hose should have a length of at least
1 m up to a maximum of 3 m.
Observe the information about the gas safety hose:
¡
If the gas safety hose is made of metal, the per-

gas safety hose is not made of metal or is only
partially made of metal, the ambient temperature
must not exceed 90 °C.
¡
The gas safety hose must not come into contact
with moving parts of the fitted unit (e.g. drawers)
or be routed in areas where it could become
trapped or damaged.
¡
The gas safety hose must not come into contact
with a hob, oven, dishwasher, refrigerator, wash-
ing machine, hot water pipes, radiator or any other
appliance installed next to or below the gas hob.
¡
The gas safety hose must not be subject to rub-
bing, vibrations, kinking or any other kind of de-
formation. It should be checked along its entire
