GAS CONNECTION
Gas connection must be carried out according to
the rules in force.
The manufacturing company release the unit,
once tested, adjusted for the kind of gas stated
on the adjustment label located on the back of
the range, next to connection pipe. Be sure that
you are going to connect the unit to the same
kind of gas written on the plate. Otherwise,
follow all the instructions of the paragraph
“Change of gas”.
For best efficiency and lowest consumption, be
sure that manifolds gas pressure respects the
values in the table of “Specification
nozzles”.
Connection using a rigid pipe or a
flexible metal pipe
To ensure higher safety, it is recommended to
carry out the connection to the gas system using
rigid pipes (ex. copper) or using flexible stainless
steel pipes, to avoid any stress to the unit.
Gas feeding pipe fitting is Gc 1/2.
If the pipe, to reach the cock, must run
behind the range, connection to the gas
supply should be carried out using only rigid
pipes in conformity with rules in force.
Connection using flexible, non metal pipes
When the connection can be easily inspected in
its full extent, there is the chance to use a
flexible pipe according to the rules in force.
The flexible pipe should be made ready for use
in such a way that:
-
nowhere it can reach overtemperature, other
than room temperature, higher than 30°C;
-
it is no longer than 1500 mm;
-
it shows no throttles;
-
it is not subject to traction or torsion;
-
it doesn’t get in touch with cutting edges or
corners;
-
it can be easily inspected in order to check its
condition.
IMPORTANT
Once installation is complete, check the perfect
seal of every pipe fitting, using a soapy solution,
never a flame.
