A.3. Connection
The appliance may be connected in three ways, depending on the type of gas to be used. The connection point (4),
Figure C, between the appliance and the gas supply is situated at the bottom (or the back) of the appliance.
A rapid- action gas shut -off cock must be fitted upstream of each appliance in an easily accessible position.
Once the appliance has been installed, check for gas leaks at connection points using a soapy water solution.
ATTENTION:
In case of use for the gas supply connection of the appliance a flexible tube or hose, this shall
comply with the national requirements and shall be periodically inspected and replaced as necessary.
This appliance must be connected for gas supply only with approved flexible hoses or tubes. Their length should
not exceed 1.5m and it is forbidden to twist them.
A.3.1 Use of the Appliance with Butane & Propane
Butane:
Use an approved low pressure regulator 28 – 30mbar
Propane:
Use an approved low pressure regulator 37mbar
In this case, you may use the connection nozzle (1), Figure B, which accompanies the appliance, to connect it with
a flexible pipe.
Screw the nozzle on the bottom (or the back) of the appliance, to the gas connection port (4), with a diameter of 16
mm (3/8).
This pipe must be approved for this use.
You must check the date of replacement of the pipe. You must install it in such a way that it is visible along the
whole length (from the appliance to the supply tap or to the bottle).
The connections must be checked for leaks in order to avoid gas escaping, with the help of soapy water.
To do so: open the bottle or the supply-tap, to allow the gas to circulate, and ensure that the connection is correct
by checking for air bubbles in the soapy water spread over the connections.
DANGER:
THE USE OF A FLAME TO CHECK FOR LEAKS AT CONNECTION POINTS IS STRICTLY
FORBIDDEN.
A.3.2 Use of the Appliance with Natural Gas
Connection may be made with the help of the nozzle (2), Figure B, when a flexible pipe is to be used, following the
instructions on the previous paragraph with regard to connection and checking for leaks.
If you wish to make a permanent, fixed connection with a hard pipe screwed into position, it will be necessary to
use the nozzle (3), Figure B.
This is the recommended type of connection.
DANGER:
THE USE OF A FLAME TO CHECK FOR LEAKS AT CONNECTION POINTS IS STRICTLY
FORBIDDEN.
A.3.3 Use of the Appliance with Propane & Butane 50 mbar
Butane:
Use an approved low pressure regulator 50mbar
Propane:
Use an approved low pressure regulator 50mbar
Connection may be made with the help of the nozzle (1), Figure B, when a flexible pipe is to be used, following the
instructions on paragraph 3.1, with regard to connection instructions and checking for leaks.
If you wish to make a permanent, fixed connection with a hard pipe screwed into position, it will be necessary to
use the nozzle (3), Figure B.
This is the recommended type of connection.
