stable in your area, it may be necessary to assemble an available pressure regulator
on the gas inlet. You should contact the authorised service to make these adjustments.
Points that must be checked during flexible hose assembly:
• If the gas connection is made by a flexible hose fixed onto the gas inlet of the hob, it
must be fixed on by a pipe collar.
• Connect your appliance with a short and durable hose that is as close as possible
to the gas source.
• The permitted maximum length of the hose is 1.5 m.
• The hose that supplies the appliance with gas must be changed once a year for your
security.
• The hose must be kept clear of areas that may heat up to temperatures of more
than
90°C.
• The hose must not be cracked, torn, bent or folded.
• Keep the hose clear of sharp corners and objects that could move.
• Before you assemble the connection, you must make sure the hose is not damaged.
Use bubbly water or leakage fluids to perform the check. Do not use a naked flame
to check for gas leakage.
• All metal items that are used during gas connection must be free from rust. Check
the expiry date of any components used for connection.
Points that must be checked during fixed gas connection assembly:
The method used to assemble a fixed gas connection (gas connection made by threads,
e.g. a nut) varies according to the country you are in. The most common parts for your
country will be supplied with your appliance. Any other parts required can be supplied
as spare parts.
During connection, always keep the nut on the gas manifold fixed while rotating the
counter-part. Use appropriately-sized spanners for a safe connection. For surfaces
between different components always use the seals provided in the gas conversion kit.
The seals used during connection should also be approved to be used in gas connections.
Do not use plumbing seals for gas connections.
Remember that this appliance is ready to be connected to the gas supply in the country
for which it has been produced. The main country of destination is marked on the rear
cover of the appliance. If you need to use it in another country, any of the connections
in the figure below may be required. In such a case, contact local authorities to learn
the correct gas connection.
