CONNECTING THE COOKTOP TO THE G S SUPPLY
The gas connection fitting (Figs. 6.1-6.2) is made up of:
the floating nut;
the elbow;
the gaskets;
the hose holder for Natural gas or LPG - to be used for gas connection with a rubber
hose.
Imporant! A rubber hose connection shall only be made if permitted by the applica-
ble local regulations.
If the hose holder is not supplied with the appliance it can be purchased by contact-
ing the After-Sales Service.
The gas connection must be carried out by an authorised person according to the
relevant local standards.
If using a flexible hose, make sure it does not come into contact with moving parts.
The rear of the chassis is recessed to provide a channel for the appliance inlet pipe.
The gas connection fitting can be turned in the direction required (but never in a verti-
cal or horizontal position) after loosening the elbow and floating nut connection.
Never attempt to turn the elbow without having first loosened the floating nut.
The supplied gaskets guarantee a good seal for the gas connection. We recommend
that you replace the gaskets on the slightest sign of wear, deformation or imperfec-
tion.
After connecting to the gas mains, check that the couplings are correctly
sealed, using soapy solution, but never a naked flame.
