There are rigorous legal regulations in Germany and many other members
of the EU concerning the operation of domestic appliances with bottled
gas.
If the appliance is supplied with bottled LPG, a pressure regulator which
meets the current legal and municipal regulations must be installed.
Ensure that the supply pressure corresponds to the values given in chapter
2.9.1. LPG:

-
JETS CHARACTERISTICS
.
If you convert the gas supply to LPG, you must replace the burner-jets for natural
gas with suitable burner-jets for
LPG
(propane gas jets / included in the delivery):
s. chapter 2.9 C

If you connect the appliance to an LPG supply using a rubber gas hose, you must
use a gas hose whose specifications comply with the regulations in force (ensure
that the reference standard is stamped on the hose). Use a standard rubber gas
hose with a length of
at least 1.40 metres
for the connection between the
appliance and the gas bottle. The length of the rubber gas hose
must not exceed
1.50 metres.
For the connection to the LPG
supply, the internal diameter of the rubber gas
hose
must
be 8 mm
.
The connection to the LPG supply using a rubber gas hose is
only
permitted if
the gas hose complies with the applicable regulations
and
can be inspected along
its
entire length
. The appliance
must
be free-standing, i.e. the rubber gas hose
must not
be covered by kitchen furniture etc. (even parts of the gas hose
must
not
be covered).
