Connecting the Gas
The appliance should be connected to the mains or to a
gas cylinder in compliance with current National Regula-
tions. Before making the connection, check that the cooker
is regulated for the gas supply you are using. If not, follow
the instructions indicated in the paragraph “Adapting to
different types of gas." On some models the gas supply
can be connected on the left or on the right, as neces-
sary; to change the connection, reverse the position of
the hose holder with that of the cap and replace the gas-
ket (supplied with the appliance). When using liquid gas
from a cylinder, install a pressure regulator which com-
plies with the current National Regulations.
Important: Check that the supply pressure complies with
the values indicated in table 1 “Burner and Nozzle Char-
acteristics” since this will ensure safe operation, correct
consumption and ensure a longer life for your appliance.
Connection with a Hose
Make the connection using a gas hose that complies with
requirements set forth by the current National Regulations.
The inner diameters of the pipe are as follows:
- 8 mm for liquid gas;
- 13 mm for methane gas.
When installing the hose, remember to take the following
precautions:
•
No part of the hose should touch parts whose tem-
perature exceeds 50°C;
•
The length of the hose should be less than 1500 mm;
•
The hose should not be subject to twisting or pulling,
and should not have bends or kinks;
•
The hose should not touch objects with sharp edges,
moving parts, and it should not be crushed;
•
The full length of the hose should be easy to inspect in
order to check its condition.
Check that the hose fits firmly into place at the two ends
and fix it with clamps complying with current National
Regulations. If any of the above recommendations can
not be followed, flexible metal pipes should be used. If the
cooker is installed according to the conditions of Class 2,
subdivision 1, only a flexible metal pipe which is in com-
pliance with current safety standards should be used to
make the connection to the gas mains.
Connecting a Flexible, Jointless, Stainless Steel
Pipe to a Threaded Attachment
Remove the hose holder fitted on the appliance. The gas
supply pipe fitting is a threaded 1/2 gas cylindrical male
attachment. Only use pipes and gaskets complying with
current standards. The full length of the pipe must not ex-
ceed 2000 mm. Once the connection has been made,
ensure that the flexible metal pipe does not touch any
moving parts and is not crushed.
Checking that the Connection is Tight
Important: When installation has been completed, check the
pipe fittings for leaks using a soapy solution. Never use a flame.
Once the connection has been made, ensure that the flexible
metal pipe does not touch any moving parts and is not crushed.
Connecting the Power Supply Cord to the Mains
Install a normalised plug corresponding to the load indi-
cated on the data plate. When connecting the cable di-
rectly to the mains, install an omnipolar circuit-breaker with
a minimum contact opening of 3 mm between the appli-
ance and the mains. The omnipolar circuit breaker should
be sized according to the load and should comply with
current regulations (the earth wire should not be inter-
rupted by the circuit breaker). The supply cable should be
positioned so that it does not reach a temperature of more
than 50°C with respect to the room temperature, along its
length. Before making the connection, check that:
•
The limiter valve and the home system can support
the appliance load (see data plate);
•
The mains are properly earthed in compliance with cur-
rent standards and regulations;
•
There is easy access to the socket and omnipolar cir-
cuit breaker, once the hob has been installed.
NB: Never use reducers, adaptors or shunts since they
can cause heating or burning.
Converting the Hob for Different Types of Gas
In order to convert the cooker to a different type of gas
with respect to the gas for which it was manufactured (in-
dicated on the label attached to the lid), follow these steps:
a) Replace the hose holder mounted on the appliance
with that supplied in the bag of “cooker accessories.”
Important: The hose holder for liquid gas is marked 8,
the hose holder for methane gas is marked 13. Always
use a new sealing gasket.
b) Replace the burner nozzles on the hob:
•
Remove the grids and slide the burners from their
housings;
•
Unscrew the nozzles using a 7 mm socket spanner,
and replace them with nozzles for the new type of gas
(see table 1 “Burner and Nozzle Characteristics”).
•
Replace all the components by repeating the steps in
reverse order.
