units can be fitted directly above the worktop is 700
mm.
e) The wall in contact with the back of the cooker must
be of flameproof material.
Connecting the gas
The appliance should be connected to the mains or to a
gas cylinder in compliance with current directives. Before
making the connection, check that the cooker is regulated
for the gas supply you are using. If not, follow the
instructions indicated in the paragraph “Adapting to
different types of gas”. On some models the gas supply
can be connected on the left or on the right, as necessary;
to change the connection, reverse the position of the hose
holder with that of the cap and replace replace the gasket
(supplied with the appliance). When using liquid gas from
a cylinder, install a pressure regulator which complies with
current directive.
Important: check that the supply pressure complies with
the values indicated in table 1 “Characteristics of the
burners and nozzles” since this will ensure safe operation,
correct consumption and ensure a longer life to your
appliance.
Connection with a Hose
Make the connection using a gas hose that complies with
requirements set forth by the current National Regulations.
When installing the hose, remember to take the following
precautions:
•
No part of the hose should touch parts whose tem-
perature exceeds 50°C;
• The length of the hose should be less than 1500 mm;
• The hose should not be subject to twisting or pulling,
and should not have bends or kinks.
• The hose should not touch objects with sharp edges,
moving parts, and it should not be crushed;
• The full length of the hose should be easy to inspect in
order to check its condition.
Check that the hose fits firmly into place at the two ends
and fix it with clamps complying with current National Regu-
lations. If any of the above recommendations can not be
followed, flexible metal pipes should be used. If the cooker
is installed in compliance with the requirements for class
2, subclass 1, it is highly recommended that the gas con-
nection be made with a flexible metal pipe in compliance
with current safety standards.
Connecting a Flexible, Jointless, Stainless Steel Pipe
to a Threaded Attachment
The hose holder fitted on the appliance. The gas supply
pipe fitting is a threaded 1/2 gas conic male attachment.
Only use pipes and gaskets complying with current Na-
tional Regulations. The full length of the pipe must not
exceed 2000 mm. Once the connection has been made,
ensure that the flexible metal pipe does not touch any
moving parts and is not crushed. Once the connection
has been made, ensure that the flexible metal pipe does
not touch any moving parts and is not crushed.
Checking that the Connection is Tight
Important:
When installation has been completed, check
the pipe fittings for leaks using a soapy solution. Never
use a flame.
Connecting the supply cable to the mains
Install a normalised plug corresponding to the load
indicated on the data plate. When connecting the cable
directly to the mains, install an omnipolar circuit-breaker
with a minimum contact opening of 3 mm between the
appliance and the mains. The omnipolar circuit breaker
should be sized according to the load and should comply
with current regulations (the earth wire should not be
interrupted by the circuit breaker).
The supply cable should be positioned so that it does not
reach a temperature of more than 50°C with respect to
the room temperature, along its length. Before making the
connection, check that:
•
the limiter valve and the home system can support the
appliance load (see data plate);
• the mains is properly earthed in compliance with
current directives and regulations;
• there is easy access to the socket and omnipolar circuit
breaker, once the hob has been installed.
N.B: never use reducers, adaptors or shunts since they
can cause heating or burning.
Adapting the cooker to different types of gas
In order to adapt the cooker to a different type of gas with
respect to the gas for which it was produced (indicated on
the label attached to the lid), follow these steps:
a) Replacing the burner nozzles on the hob:
• remove the grids and slide the burners from their
housings;
• unscrew the nozzles using a 7 mm socket spanner,
and replace them with nozzles for the new type of gas
(see table 1 “Burner and nozzle characteristics”).
• replace all the components by repeating the steps in
reverse order.
b) Minimum regulation of the hob burners:
• turn the tap to minimum;
• remove the knob and adjust the regulation screw, which
is positioned in or next to the tap pin, until the flame is
small but steady.
