6.6. Provide sufficient open space above the cooker
to allow cooking vapours to dissipate. A ventila -
ting hood can be installed in order to absorb or
discharge the vapours. The distance between
the gas hob and the hood should be at least 650
mm (fig. 6.6.1).
6.7. Do not fit kitchen cabinets over the cooker.
6.8. The cooker is fitted with levelling feet which allow
adjusting the level of the appliance. The feet are
accessible after removing the drawer (fig. 6.8.2)
or tilting the cooker (fig. 6.8.1). Rotate the feet
one way or other, as required.
The cooker is equipped with a G½’’ stub pipe. •
Using proper fittings, connect the stub pipe to the
gas supply system.
The cooker may be connected to the natural gas
•
supply system or LPG cylinder.
Before proceeding with the connecting activities,
•
make sure that the gas tap is closed.
It is recommended to seal the connections with a
•
Teflon tape.
7.1 Connecting to the natural gas supply sys-
tem
The cooker may be connected to the gas supply •
system using a rigid pipe or a flexible metal hose
conforming to the requirements of national stan -
dards
The maximum length of the flexible hose must not •
exceed 2.0 m. The hose must not come into con -
tact with any moving parts. Sufficient space must
be provided for the hose
When connecting to a rigid pipe, care must be ta
- •
ken to avoid exposing any part of the device or
point of gas installation to excessive mechanical
stress.
7.2 Connecting to an LPG cylinder
If you wish to use an LPG cylinder, do not install •
the cooker in the basement or in any other room
where the floor is below the ground level, as LPG
is heavier than air and accumulates at the floor le -
vel.
When connecting the appliance to an LPG cylinder,
•
use a rubber hose conforming to the requirements
of national standards
To connect the cooker with a rubber hose, use a
•
steel pipe with the length not less than 0.5 m.
The length of the rubber hose should not exceed
•
1.5 m. Upon connecting, the hose should be secu -
red with hose clamps at each end.
The hose must not be choked, twisted or bent shar
- •
ply and must be accessible along its entire length.
The hose must not laid near any sources of exces
- •
sive heat (max. 50°C)
Broken hose must be immediately replaced. Any
•
repairs to a leaky hose are strictly forbidden.
Every time you connect the cooker to the LPG cy
- •
linder, check the air tightness at the cylinder valve
and at the connection of the regulator to the cylin -
der, and its operation.
WARNING!
1. Under no circumstances can the air tightness
be checked by means of a naked flame (e.g.
with a match or candle). Danger of explosion!
Use soapy water to check the air tightness.
2. The condition of the hose and the tightness of
the connection should be checked periodically
in accordance with the applicable regulations.
3. Rubbed hose must not come into contact with
any hot elements of the cooker.
7.3 Replacing the nozzles
If it is required to change the type of gas supplied
to the cooker, it is necessary to replace the nozzles
and fill in the “Gas Conversion” sticker supplied with
the appliance in a plastic seal containing the warran-
ty card and the instruction manual. Upon specifying
what type of gas the appliance was converted to, put
the sticker on the appliance.
