CONNECTION TO THE GAS SUPPLY
✓
Be careful when flexible pipes are used that they do not come into contact with
moving parts.
✓
To maintain the thickness of 3 cm, the hob is fitted with a channel to contain the
connection pipe.
✓
The gas inlet union can be turned in the direction required after the elbow fitting
“
C
” and nut “
A
” connection (figure 17) has been slackened (Fig. 18).
✓
Never put it in the horizontal or vertical position.
✓
Never attempt to turn the elbow “
C
” without having first slackened off the relative
lock
nut
“
A
”.
✓
The gasket “
F
” (fig. 17) guarantees the seal of the gas connection.
It is recommended that it be replaced whenever it shows even the slightest
deformation or imperfection.
✓
Using a suitable leak detection fluid solution (e.g. Rocol) check each gas
connection one at a time by brushing the solution over the connection.
The presence of bubbles will indicate a leak. If there is a leak, tighten
the fitting and then recheck for leaks.
IMPORTANT! Do not use a naked flame to test for leaks
