GAS CONNECTION

• Preliminary comments
If your hob is installed above an oven or if proximity to other heating elements poses a threat of
overheating the connection, you must insulate the cable in a rigid pipe.
If a hose or soft pipe (in the case of butane gas) is used, it should not come into contact with a
moving part of the cabinet, nor should it pass through a location that may become blocked.
Warning
All soft pipes and hoses whose service life is limited must have a maximum length of
two meters and must be accessible along their entire length. They must be replaced before
the end of their service life (marked on the pipe). Regardless of the means of connection
chosen, ensure that the connection is leaktight, after installation, with soapy water.
The gas connection must be installed in
compliance with applicable regulations in the
country of installation.
Natural gas supplied by pipe,

For your safety, you must choose from the
three following connection options:
— Connection with a rigid pipe made from
copper and with screw-on mechanical
connectors (G1/2 gas standard mark). Make
the connection directly to the end of the
elbow fitted on the appliance.
— Connection with a wavy metal hose
(stainless steel) with screw-on mechanical
connectors (compliant with the NF D 36-121
standard) whose service life is unlimited
(Fig. A).
— Connection with a reinforced rubber hose
with screw-on mechanical connectors
(compliant with the NF D 36-103 standard)
whose service life is 10 years (Fig. B).
Warning
When connecting your hob's gas
supply, if you have to change the direction
of the elbow fitted on the appliance:
① Change the sealing washer.
Screw on the elbow's nut, being careful not
to exceed a torque of 17 N.m.
