GAS CONNECTION WITH RIGID PIPES OR A FLEXIBLE PIPE
The gas connection is made up of:
the terminal fitting of the inlet pipe (right-hand or left-hand)
•
sealing washer.
•
Important!
If fitted, remove the hose holder from the terminal fitting of the inlet pipe.
When connecting the cooker to the gas supply with rigid pipes or a flexible pipe,
make sure that
you use rigid pipes or a flexible pipe complying with applicable local regulations. The
•
flexible pipe shall be of the correct construction for the type of gas being used.
if compression fittings are used, you tighten them firmly using two spanners (fig. 2.3).
•
the connection with rigid metal pipes does not cause stress or pressure to the gas
•
piping.
the flexible pipe is not under tension, twisted, kinked or too tightly bent, neither while
•
the appliance is in use nor while it is being connected or disconnected.
the flexiple pipe does not exceed 2000 mm in length (or refer to applicable local
•
regulations) and does not come into contact with sharp edges, corners or moving
parts. Use a single flexible pipe only; never connect the cooker with more than one
flexible pipe.
the flexible pipe can easily be inspected along its entire length to check its condition; if
•
it has an expiry date, it should be replaced before that date.
if using a flexible pipe which is not entirely made of metal, make sure that it does not
•
come into contact with any part of the cooker with a surface temperature of 70°C or
above (or refer to applicable local regulations).
the rigid or flexible pipe is not subject to excessive heat by direct exposure to flue
•
products or by contact with hot surfaces.
the rigid or flexible pipe is replaced if it shows signs of wear or damage.
•
a gas pressure regulator, in compliance with the applicable local regulations, is
•
installed when connecting to an LPG cylinder.
you inform the customer that the cylinder valve or the supply valve immediately by the
•
appliance should be closed when the cooker is not in use.
you inform the customer that the rigid or flexible pipe should not be subjected to
•
corrosion by acidic cleaning agents.
After connecting the cooker to the gas supply, make sure that you
check that the connections are correctly sealed using a soapy solution, but never a
•
naked flame.
check whether the injectors are correct for the type of gas being used. If not, follow the
•
instructions under "GAS MAINTENANCE".
replace the sealing washer/s on the slightest sign of deformation or imperfection. The
•
sealing washer/s is/are the part/s which guarantee/s a good seal in the gas connection.
use two spanners when connecting the rigid or flexible pipe (fig. 2.3).
