Connection
The gas connection must be installed
so that connection can be made either
from inside or outside the kitchen unit,
and the isolating valve must be easily
accessible and visible (by opening one
of the kitchen doors, if necessary).
After installing the appliance the gas
burners have to be set for local
conditions.
When the gas hob has been installed, it
is essential to check that neither the
gas pipe not the electricity cable is in
contact with hot parts of the appliance
or hot gas exhaust, otherwise heat
damage to the pipe and cable could
occur.
A test for possible leakages must be
carried out after installation.
Safety regulations demand that a
pressure test point is installed near a
gas hob to allow an engineer to test the
pressure, following servicing.
The appliance is supplied with an
R 1/2" - ISO 7-1 (DIN 2999) gas
connection point.
An appropriate rigid connection and
isolating valve must be installed for final
connection.
The gas connection must be so sited
that it is not adversely heated when the
appliance is in operation.
