GAS CONNECTION
La Plancha is fitted at the back of the appliance in factory. List of spare parts is available at the end of this booklet.
To ensure a proper set up, avoid twisting or curving the rubber gas tube. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion for any
reason.
Changing gas cylinders must never be undertaken in the presence of a naked flame.
The installation must be conform to local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with either the National Fuel Gas Code
(ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54) Natural Gas or Propane Installation Code (CSA B149.1) or Propane Storage and Handling Code
(B149.2) as applicable.
a) For Propane Gas
The regulator and the hose that are included with La Plancha must be used.
The hose must be visible on its whole length (From the cylinder to the appliance) it must also be easy to reach.
The tightness of all connections must be checked prior to use. Apply a soapy water solution to all connections and check
for leaks before attempting to light the grill. (Bubbles indicate a leak). If a leak is found, turn tank valve off and tighten the
connections and check again.
