Once the connection has been performed, make sure that the hose:
• Does not come into contact with any parts which reach temperatures of
over 50°C.
• Is not subject to any pulling or twisting forces and that it is not kinked or
bent.
• Does not come into contact with blades, sharp corners or moving parts
and that it is not compressed.
• Is easy to inspect along its whole length so that its condition may be
checked.
• Is shorter than 1500 mm.
• Fits firmly into place at both ends, where it will be fixed using clamps which
comply with current regulations.
!
If one or more of these conditions is not fulfilled or if the cooker must be
installed according to the conditions listed for class 2 - subclass 1 appliances
(installed between two cupboards), the flexible steel hose must be used
instead (see below).
Connecting a flexible jointless stainless steel pipe to a threaded
attachment
Make sure that the hose and gaskets comply with current national legislation.
To begin using the hose, remove the hose holder on the appliance (the gas
supply inlet on the appliance is a cylindrical threaded 1/2 gas male attachment).
!
Perform the connection in such a way that the hose length does not exceed
a maximum of 2 metres, making sure that the hose is not compressed and
does not come into contact with moving parts.
Checking the connection for leaks
When the installation process is complete, check the hose fittings for leaks
using a soapy solution. Never use a flame.
Adapting to different types of gas
It is possible to adapt the appliance to a type of gas other than the default
type (this is indicated on the rating label on the cover).
Adapting the hob
Replacing the nozzles for the hob burners:
1. Remove the hob grids and slide the burners
off their seats.
2. Unscrew the nozzles using a 7 mm socket
spanner (see figure), and replace them with
nozzles suited to the new type of gas (see
Burner and nozzle specifications table).
3. Replace all the components by following
the above instructions in reverse.
Adjusting the hob burners’ minimum setting:
1. Turn the tap to the minimum position.
2. Remove the knob and adjust the regulatory screw, which is positioned
inside or next to the tap pin, until the flame is small but steady.
!
If the appliance is connected to a liquid gas supply, the regulatory screw
must be fastened as tightly as possible.
3. While the burner is alight, quickly change the position of the knob from
minimum to maximum and vice versa several times, checking that the flame
is not extinguished.
!
The hob burners do not require primary air adjustment.
!
After adjusting the appliance so it may be used with a different type of gas,
replace the old rating label with a new one which corresponds to the new
type of gas (these labels are available from Authorised Technical Assistance
Centres).
!
Should the gas pressure used be different (or vary slightly) from the
recommended pressure, a suitable pressure regulator must be fitted to the
inlet hose in accordance with current national regulations relating to “regulators
for channelled gas”.
Safety Chain
!
In order to prevent the appliance from overturning accidentally, for
example in case of a child climbing onto the oven door, the safety
chains MUST be installed!
The cooker is provided with safety chains that must be fixed with a screw (not
supplied as accessory) on the wall behind the appliance, at the same height
as the fixing point on the appliance.
Make sure that the chains are fixed in the back of the cooker, as shown in the
drawing, in such way to be tight and parallel to the floor.
!
When the installation process is complete, the chains must be kept in tension!
Electrical connection
Those ovens equipped with a three-pole power supply cable are designed to
operate with an alternating current with the voltage and frequency indicated
on the data plate (located on the appliance) and in the instruction manual.
The wire for earthing the appliance is yellow-green in colour.
Replacing the cable
Use a rubber cable of the type H05VV-F with a cross section of 3 x 1.5 mm².
The yellow-green earth wire must be 2 ÷ 3 cm longer than the other wires.
Opening the terminal board:
• Using a screwdriver, prise on the side tabs of the terminal board cover;
• Pull open the cover of the terminal board.
To install the cable, proceed as follows:
• Remove the wire clamp screw and the three contact screws L-N-
• Fasten the wires beneath the screwheads using the following colour
scheme: Blue (N) Brown (L) Yellow-Green
• Fasten the supply cable in place with the clamp and close the cover of the
terminal board.
