Gas Connection - Smeg P755SB Manual

Instructions for the installer

9. GAS CONNECTION

If the appliance is installed on an oven, you must avoid running the gas tube
round the back of the oven in order to avoid overheating.
Connection to the gas supply network can be made using a rigid copper hose or
a flexible steel hose with a continuous wall and in compliance with the
guidelines established by the applicable standard. To facilitate the connection,
connector A on the back of the appliance can be orientated laterally; loosen
hexagonal nut B, twist connector A into the desired position then retighten
hexagonal nut B (it is sealed with a rubber gasket). Once the operation is
complete, check the hose fittings for leaks using a soapy solution; never use a
flame. The hob is preset for natural gas G20 (2H) at a pressure of 20 mbar. To
set it up for supply using other types of gas, see Chapter "10. ADAPTATION TO
DIFFERENT TYPES OF GAS". The gas inlet connection is threaded ½" for
external gas (ISO 228-1).
Connection with a rigid copper hose: The
connection to the gas supply network must be made
in such a way that it does not cause stresses of any
type on the appliance. The connection can be made
using the adapter unit D with double cone, always
inserting gasket C (provided) in between.
Connection with a flexible steel hose: use only
continuous wall stainless steel hoses that comply
with the applicable standards, making sure to always
insert gasket C (provided) between connector A and
flexible hose B.
Installation with flexible hose must be carried out so that the length of the piping
does not exceed 2 metres when fully extended; make sure that the hoses do not
come into contact with moving parts and that they are not crushed in any way.
