same as that shown on the plate. Otherwise, follow the
instructions provided in the “Adapting to different types of
gas” section.

Make the connection to the gas system using a rigid metal pipe and regulation unions,
or with a stainless steel hose complying with the local standard. If metal hoses are
used, take care that they do not come into contact with mobile parts and are not
crushed. This must also be checked if the hob is to be combined with an oven.
The gas intake connection of the appliance has a “male thread.”
When making the connection, take care not to apply stresses of any kind to the
appliance.
When the installation is complete, always check that all the unions are
absolutely tight using a soapy solution. Never use a flame to make this
check.
