Connection using flexible non metal
pipes
When the connection can be easily inspec-
ted in its full extent, there is the chance to use
a flexible pipe according to the rules in force.
The flexible pipe must be tightly fixed using
clamps according to the rules in force.
The flexible pipe should be made ready for
use in such a way that:
• nowhere it can reach over temperature,
other than room temperature, higher than
°
30 C; if the flexible pipe, to reach the cock,
must run behind the range, it must be in-
stalled as shown below;
• it is no longer than 1500 mm;
• it shows no throttles;
• it is not subject to traction or torsion;
• it does not get in touch with cutting edges
or corners;
• it can be easily inspected in order to check
its condition.
The control of preservation of the flexible pipe
consists in checking that:
• it doesn't show cracks, cuts, marks of
burning both on the end parts and on its
full extent;
• the material is not hardened, but shows its
normal elasticity;
• the fastening clamps are not rusted;
• expiry term is not due. If one or more ab-
normalities are seen, do not repair the
pipe, but replace it.
• it cannot come into contact with moveable
parts of the appliance;
• it does not pass through any space sus-
ceptible of becoming congested;
Important! Once installation is complete,
check the perfect seal of every pipe fitting,
using a soapy solution, never a flame.
Adaptation to different kinds of gas
To adapt the appliance to a different kind of
gas from the one the appliance has been set
for, follow the instructions below in their or-
der.
Gas connection :
LPG: use the rubber pipe holder, no.4.

Always insert the gasket sealing, no.2. Then
proceed with the gas connection, as indica-
ted in the relevant paragraphs.
