flameproof material.
Connecting the gas
The appliance should be connected to the mains or to a gas
cylinder in compliance with current directives. Before making the
connection, check that the cooker is regulated for the gas supply
you are using. If not, follow the instructions indicated in the
paragraph “Adapting to different types of gas”. On some models
the gas supply can be connected on the left or on the right, as
necessary; to change the connection, reverse the position of the
hose holder with that of the cap and replace replace the gasket
(supplied with the appliance). When using liquid gas from a cylinder,
install a pressure regulator which complies with current directive.
Important: check that the supply pressure complies with the
values indicated in table 1 “Characteristics of the burners and
nozzles” since this will ensure safe operation, correct consumption
and ensure a longer life to your appliance.
Connection with hose
Make the connection using a gas hose complying with the the
characteristics provided in current directive. The internal diameter
of the pipe used is as follows:
- 8mm for liquid gas;
- 13mm for methane gas.
When installing the hose, remember to take the following
precautions:
• No part of the hose should touch parts whose temperature
exceeds 50°C;
• The length of the hose should be less than 1500 mm;
• The hose should not be subject to twisting or pulling, and
should not have bends or kinks.
• The hose should not touch objects with sharp edges, any
moving parts, and it should not be crushed;
• The full length of the hose should be easy to inspect in order
to check its condition;
Check that the hose fits firmly into place at the two ends and fix
it with clamps complying to current directive.If any of the above
recommendations can not be adopted, flexible metal pipes should
be used.
Should the cooker be installed according to the conditions of
Class 2, subdivision 1, only a flexible metal pipe which is in
compliance with current safety standards should be used to make
the connection to the gas mains.
Connecting a flexible jointless stainless steel pipe to a
threaded attachment
Remove the hose holder fitted on the appliance. The gas supply
pipe fitting is a threaded 1/2 gas cylindrical male attachment.
Only pipes and gaskets complying with current directives. The
full length of the pipe must not exceed 2000 mm.
Tight control
Important: when installation has been completed, check the
pipe fitting for leaks with a soapy solution. Never use a flame.
Once the connection has been made, ensure that the flexible
metal tube does not touch any moving parts and is not crushed.
Connecting the supply cable to the mains
Install a normalised plug corresponding to the load indicated on
the data plate. When connecting the cable directly to the mains,
install an omnipolar circuit-breaker with a minimum contact
opening of 3 mm between the appliance and the mains. The
omnipolar circuit breaker should be sized according to the load
and should comply with current regulations (the earth wire should
not be interrupted by the circuit breaker).
The supply cable should be positioned so that it does not reach
a temperature of more than 50°C with respect to the room tem-
perature, along its length. Before making the connection, check
that:
• the limiter valve and the home system can support the
appliance load (see data plate);
• the mains is properly earthed in compliance with current
directives and regulations;
• there is easy access to the socket and omnipolar circuit
breaker, once the hob has been installed.
N.B: never use reducers, adaptors or shunts since they can
cause heating or burning.
Adapting the cooker to different types of gas
In order to adapt the cooker to a different type of gas with respect
to the gas for which it was produced (indicated on the label
attached to the lid), follow these steps:
a) replace the hose holder mounted on the appliance with that
supplied in the bag of “cooker accessories”.
Important: the hose holder for liquid gas is marked 8, the hose
holder for methane gas is marked 13. Always fit the sealing
gasket.
b) Replacing the burner nozzles on the hob:
• remove the grids and slide the burners from their housings;
• unscrew the nozzles using a 7 mm socket spanner, and
replace them with nozzles for the new type of gas (see table
1 “Burner and nozzle characteristics”).
• replace all the components by repeating the steps in reverse
order.
c) Minimum regulation of the hob burners:
•
turn the tap to minimum;
• remove the knob and adjust the regulation screw, which is
positioned in or next to the tap pin, until the flame is small but
steady.
N.B.: in the case of liquid gas, the regulation screw must be
screwed in to the bottom.
• check that the flame does not turn off when you turn the tap
