The Cooker should be connected to the gas-supply by a Gas Safe registered installer. During installation of
this product it is essential to fit an approved gas tap to isolate the supply from the appliance for the
convenience of any subsequent removal or servicing. Connection of the appliance to the gas mains or liquid
gas must be carried out according to the prescribed regulation in force, and only after it is ascertained that it
is adaptable to the type of gas to be used. If not, follow the instructions indicated in the paragraph headed
"Adaptation to different gas types". In the case of connection to liquid gas, by tank, use pressure regulators
that conform to the regulation in force.
Important:
For safety, for the correct regulation of gas use and long life of the appliance, ensure that the
gas pressure conforms to the indications given in table 1 "Nozzle and burner characteristics".
Connection to non-flexible tube
(copper or steel)
Connection to the gas source must be done in such a way as to not create any stress points at any part of
the appliance.
The appliance is fitted with an adjustable, "L" shaped connector and a gasket for the attachment to the gas
supply.
Should this connector have to be turned, the gasket must be replaced (supplied with the appliance).
The feeding connector of the gas to the appliance is threaded 1/2 gas male cylinder.
Connection to flexible steel tube
The gas feed connector to the appliance is a threaded, male 1/2" connector for round gas pipe. Only use
pipes and sealing gaskets that conform to the standards currently in force. The maximum length of the
flexible pipes must not exceed 2000 mm. Once the connection has been made, ensure that the flexible
metal tube does not touch any moving parts and is not crushed.
Check the Seal
Once the appliance has been installed, make sure all the connections are properly sealed, using a soapy
water solution. Never use a flame.
Electrical Connection
The cooktops fitted with a tripolar electrical supply cord are designed to be used with alternating current
according to the indications on the rating plate located under the cooktop. The earthing wire can be
identified by its yellow-green colour.
In the case of installation over a built-in electric oven, the electrical connections for the cooktop and oven
should be independent, not only for safety purposes, but also to facilitate removal of one or both in the
future.
Electrical Connection for Gas Cooktop
Fit the supply cord with a standard plug for the demand rate indicated on the rating plate or connect it
directly to the electrical mains. In the latter case, a single pole switch must be placed between the appliance
and the mains, with a minimum opening between the contacts of 3mm in compliance with current safety
codes (the earthing wire must not be interrupted by the switch). The power supply cord must be positioned
so that it does not reach a temperature in excess of 50~C above room temperature at any point.
Before actual connection make sure that:
●
The fuse and electrical system can withstand the load required by the appliance;
●
That the electrical supply system is equipped with an efficient earth hook-up according to the norms and
regulations prescribed by law;
●
That the plug or switch are easily accessible.
