on the bottom of the appliance, may be fixed or mobile using a compliant rapid pipe fitting. If
flexible piping is used, this must be in stainless steel and compliant with the norm. All the seals on
the junction threads must be in guaranteed materials certified for use with gas. Before the
installation of each single appliance it is necessary to install a cut off cock for rapid interruption of
the gas supply. This can be placed in an easily accessible position in such a way as to make it
possible to turn off the gas supply when the appliance is not being used. When the connection has
been completed, the tightness must be checked, by using a leak-finder spray.
Electric connection
Before connecting the appliance, it is necessary to check that the voltage of the power supply
available corresponds to the voltage the appliance has been set for. In the event that they do not
correspond, it is necessary to modify the connection as shown in the electric diagram, if voltage
change is provided for. The junction boxes are situated behind the frontal panel of the appliance and
it is possibile to reach it by unscrewing the screws which fix the panel to the machine (in the
manual model it is necessary to remove the handle then in the right side is situated the electric box
with the terminal block. Furthermore, the efficiency of the earth connection must be checked, and
also that the earth conductor on the connecting side is longer than the other conductors, and that the
connecting cable has a wire bunch adequate for the power absorbed by the appliance and is at least
type H05 RN-F. As in international provisions, before installing the appliance a multiple-pole
device must be installed with a contact opening of at least 3 mm that must not interrupt the
YELLOW-GREEN earth wire. The device must be installed near the appliance, it must be
approved and have adequate capacity for the absorption of the appliance (see technical features).
The appliance must be connected to the EQUIPOTENTIAL system. The connector is situated near
the end of the electric cable and is identified by a label with the symbol shown at page 4 (fig.7).
Water supply connection
Connect the water inlet pipe to the distribution system according to provisions by the norms in
force.
Checking gas tightness and pressure (fig.8, pag.4)
Before proceeding to check the pressure, it is necessary to check the tightness of the gas installation
up to the nozzle with a leak-finder spray to ensure that no damage has been done to the appliance
during transportation. Then it is possible to proceed with checking the inlet pressure, which is done
by means of a gauge for liquids, either a "U" gauge or an electronic gauge with a minimum
definition of 0.1 mbar. To carry out the reading, the screw (1) must be removed from the pressure
outlet (2) and the rubber gauge pipe connected. Open the gas supply valve of the appliance, check
the pressure output and close the valve. Remove the gauge pipe and put back the screws correctly
into the pressure outlet. The pressure value must be within the minimum and maximum values
