Safety Chain
The cooker is fitted with a safety chain to be fixed by
means of a screw (not supplied with the cooker) to the
wall behind the appliance, at the same height as the
chain is attached to the appliance.
Choose the screw and the screw anchor according
to the type of material of the wall behind the appliance.
If the head of the screw has a diameter smaller than
9mm, a washer should be used. Concrete wall requires
the screw of at least 8mm of diameter, and 60mm of length.
Ensure that the chain is fixed to the rear wall of the cooker
and to the wall, as shown in figure, so that after installation
it is tensioned and parallel to the ground level.
Gas connection
The cooker should be connected to the gas-supply by a
gas safe registered installer. During installation of this
product it is essential to fit an approved gas tap to isolate
the supply from the appliance for the convenience of any
subsequent removal or servicing. Connection of the
appliance to the gas mains or liquid gas must be carried
out according to the prescribed regulation in force, and
only after it is ascertained that it is adaptable to the type
of gas to be used. If not, follow the instructions indicated
in the paragraph headed "Adaptation to different gas types".
On some models the gas supply can be connected on the
left or on the right, as necessary; to change the connection,
reverse the position of the hose holder with that of the cap
and replace the gasket (supplied with the appliance). In the
case of connection to liquid gas, by tank, use pressure
regulators that conform to the regulation in force. The gas
supply must be connected to the left of the appliance.
Be sure that the hose does not pass through the rear of the
cooker touching hot parts.
Adapting to different types of gas
It is possible to adapt the appliance to a type of gas other
than the default type (this is indicated on the rating label
on the cover).
Adapting the hob

Upon completion of adjustment, reseal using sealingwax or an
equivalent material.
The hob burners do not require primary air adjustment.
After adjusting the appliance so it may be used with a different
type of gas, replace the old rating label with anew one which
corresponds to the new type of gas (these labels are available
from Authorised Technical Assistance Centres).
Should the gas pressure used be different (or vary slightly) from
the recommended pressure, a suitable pressure regulator must
be fitted to the inlet hose in accordance with current standards
EN 88-1 and EN 88-2 relating to "regulators for channelled gas".

Replace the nozzles with models that are configured
for use with the new type of gas (see Table 1). The
two nozzles have the same hole diameter.
3. Replace all the components by completing the
above operations in reverse order.
