Instructions for the installer
4. GAS CONNECTION
Connection to the gas mains may be made with a rigid copper pipe or with a flexible pipe and
conforming to the provisions defined by standard regulations in force.
To facilitate connection, fitting A on the rear of the appliance may be adjusted laterally. For this purpose,
loosen hexagon nut B, turn fitting A to the desired position, and retighten hexagon nut B (tightness is
ensured by a biconical brass ring). Use a soapy solution to check for proper tightness. Never use a free
flame.
Connection with rigid copper pipe: the connection to the gas
mains must not provoke stress of any kind on the hob. Connection
may be made by using biconical adapter D with insertion of gasket
C (supplied).
Connection with flexible pipe: use only flexible pipes conforming
to standard regulations in force, inserting gasket C (supplied)
between fitting A and flexible pipe E.
The flexible pipe has to be installed so that pipe length does not exceed 1.5 meters of maximum
extension. Make sure that the pipes do not touch any moving parts or become damaged.
4.1 Connection to LPG (20Y)
Use a pressure regulator and make the connection to the tank according to the provisions of standards
regulations in force. Make sure that feed pressure conforms to the levels shown in the table in paragraph
"5.2 Regulation for LPG".
4.2 Ventilation of rooms
The hob may be installed only in rooms with permanent ventilation, as required by standards regulations
in force. The room in which the hob is installed must have sufficient air flow to satisfy the requirements of
normal gas combustion and of necessary air exchange in the room. The air intakes, protected by
screens, must be appropriately sized (regulations in force) and placed so as not to be blocked in any
way. The room where the oven is installed should be suitably ventilated to avoid overheating or excess
humidity produced by cooking, and in the case of lengthy use a window should be opened or the speed
of any ventilators should be increased.
4.3 Discharge of combustion products
Discharge of combustion products must be guaranteed by means of hoods connected to a natural
draught flue with certain efficiency, or by means of forced aspiration.
An efficient aspiration system requires careful planning by a specialist capable of installing it, respecting
the positions and distances prescribed by standards. After installation, the installer must issue a
certificate of conformity.
