12.1 General description
The gas system, calibrated at a running pressure of 30
mbar, branches out from the gas bottle locker which is
completely sealed with respect to the living quarters
and is provided with air grilles directed outwards.
The space available allows housing one gas bottle, with
the possibility to house a second gas bottle. Gas bottles
must be secured using the fastening belts. The pipes
are made of protected steel and connect one or more
valves which distribute gas to each appliance.
It is recommended to close the taps of unused appli-
ances and the main valve of the bottle, if no gas
appliance is being used.
Two, three, four-way taps marked with symbols.
a) Oven.
b) Refrigerator.
c) Heating-boiler.
d) Hob.
12.2 Gas pressure regulator with
crash sensor
On some models, the gas pressure regulator is
equipped with a safety device (crash sensor) which
immediately stops the gas flow in the event of an
accident.
Start up
1) Open bottle valve.
2) Firmly press the hose rupture protection on the high-
pressure hose for about 5 seconds.
The crash sensor has a yellow reset button (a), the
position of which indicates its status: “ready for
operation” position (b) or “not ready for operation”
position (c). If the reset button (a) is not pressed (“not
ready for operation” position), reset the crash sensor.
To reset, press the reset button (a) firmly, turn it slightly
clockwise, hold it for 5 seconds and ensure that it stays
in the “ready for operation” position (b).
