Use rigid or flexible connection pipes
which comply with applicable regula-
tions.
If compression fittings are used, tighten
firmly using two spanners (fig. 8.2).
In particular, make sure that:
– the flexible hose does not come into
contact with any parts of the cooker
with surface temperatures in excess of
70˚C;
– the flexible hose does not exceed 75
cm in length and does not come into
contact with sharp edges or corners;
– the hose is not under tension or twist-
ed and is not kinked or too tightly
bent;
– the connection with rigid metal pipes
should not cause stresses to the gas
ramp.
– we advise replacing the gasket on the
slightest sign of deformation or imper-
fection.
– the hose can easily be inspected
along its entire length to check its con-
dition; hoses should replaced after a
maximum of three years.
– the cylinder cock or the supply cock
immediately ahead of the appliance is
closed whenever the cooker is not in
use.

The fitting (fig. 8.

) is made up of:
A - Gas train terminal fitting (rh or lh)
B - Gasket
C - Conical connector
IMPORTANT:
The gasket “B” (fig. 8.3) is the element
that guarantees the seal in the gas con-
nection. It is recommended that it be
replaced whenever it shows even the
slightest deformation or imperfection.
To replace the conical connector “C” or
to screw the connecting tube it is neces-
sary to operate with 2 spanners (fig. 8.2).
After connecting to the mains, check
that the couplings are correctly
sealed, using soapy solution, but
never a naked flame.
