Connection To Gas - Smeg T95PGGSFS Manual

2.4 Connection to gas

At the end of the installation, check for any leaks with a soapy solution, never with a naked
flame.
THE TIGHTENING TORQUE BETWEEN CONNECTIONS THAT INCORPORATE A GASKET MUST
NOT EXCEED 10Nm.
2.4.1 Connector installation
Carefully screw the connector B to the gas
outlet A of the appliance, placing the seal C
between them.
The connector must be screwed so that it
remains vertical as shown in the adjacent
figure.
2.4.2 Connection with a rubber hose
Installation of the standards-compliant rubber hose must be carried out so that the hose length is no
greater than 1.5 metres. Make sure that the hose does not come into contact with moving parts and is
not squashed. The inside diameter of the hose must be 8 mm for LIQUID GAS and 13 mm for
NATURAL GAS and CITY GAS.
Verify that all the following conditions are met:
•
the hose is fixed to the hose connection with safety clamps;
•
no part of the hose is in contact with the hot walls (max. 50 °C);
•
the hose is not under traction or tension and has no tight curves or twists;
•
the hose is not in contact with sharp objects or sharp corners;
•
if the hose is not perfectly airtight and leaks gas, do not try to repair it: replace it with a new
hose;
•
verify that the hose is not past its expiry date (serigraphed on the hose itself).
