3. INSTALLATION AND PREPARATIONS FOR USE

3.3 Gas connection
Connecting gas and checking leakage
Cooker gas connection must also be done by a qualified technician in compliance with current
standards (according to Article 10 of the Order of 02-08-1977 and D.T.U 61-1 rules requiring on the
pipe-end the presence of a control valve for natural gas with a pressure-release compliant with NF
D 36-303 standard. This control valve serves to cut the gas supply when the cooker is not used).
First check what type of gas is installed on the cooker. This information is given by a sticker
underneath the hotplate.
You can find information on the types of gases and injectors in the
technical data table. Check that the feeding gas pressure is compliant with values on the technical
data table, to be able to get the most efficiency and to ensure the least consumption. If the
pressure of used gas is different than these values or variable, it is required to affix an available
pressure regulator on the entrance pipe. It is required to contact
the
customer service to make
these adjustments.
Connecting butane gas (G30) - propane (G31)
The technician will first check the gas adjustment on your
hotplate.
If it is supplied in natural gas, he
must change the injectors (see below) to make it usable by butane gas. Installation can be done
either with a specific butane/propane gas pipe sold with 2 clips or with a specific TFEM hose
mounted with fittings.
If you mount a butane/propane pipe with collar, the butane gas tip with gas seal will be installed on
the cooker, the pipe will be deeply fitted on this tip and a collar will be installed by tightening
properly, but without cutting the pipe. Do same for valve (see fig. 7).
The required maximum length is 1.5m. It is very important to check the expiry deadline stated on
the pipe and change the pipe before that date to ensure safety.
If you mount a TFEM hose, the butane gas tip is unnecessary. Just screw the TFEM hose fittings
below the hotplate
and bottle side (tighten properly using 2 keys as shown in diagram above)
