Points that must be checked during flexible hose assembly
•
If the gas connection is made by a flexible hose fixed onto the gas inlet of the
hob, it must be fixed on by a pipe collar.
•
Connect your appliance with a short and durable hose that is as close as
possible to the gas source.
•
The permitted maximum length of the hose is 1.5 m.
•
The device should be connected in line with the relevant local gas standards.
•
The hose must be kept clear of areas that may heat up to temperatures of more
than 90°C.
•
The hose must not be cracked, torn, bent or folded.
•
Keep the hose clear of sharp corners and objects that could move.
•
Before you assemble the connection, you must make sure the hose is not
damaged. Use bubbly water or leakage fluids to perform the check. Do not use a
naked flame to check for gas leakage.
•
All metal items that are used during gas connection must be free from rust.
Check the expiry date of any components used for connection.
Points that must be checked during fixed gas connection assembly
The method used to assemble a fixed gas connection (gas connection made by
threads, e.g. a nut) varies according to the country you are in. The most common
parts for your country will be supplied with your appliance. Any other parts required
can be supplied as spare parts.
During connection, always keep the nut on the gas manifold fixed while rotating the
counter-part. Use appropriately-sized spanners for a safe connection. For surfaces
between different components always use the seals provided in the gas conversion
kit.
The seals used during connection should also be approved to be used in gas
connections. Do not use plumbing seals for gas connections. Remember that this
appliance is ready to be connected to the gas supply in the country for which it has
been produced. The main country of destination is marked on the rear cover of the
appliance. If you need to use it in another country, any of the connections in the
figure below may be required. In such a case, contact local authorities to learn the
correct gas connection.
