Gas Connection
GB
Cat: II 2H3+
The tting (g. 20) is made up of:
– 1 nut “A”
– 1 elbow tting “C”
– gasket “F”
Connection to the Gas Supply
• Be careful when exible pipes are used that they
do not come into contact with moving parts.
• To maintain the thickness of 3 cm, the hob is
tted with a channel to contain the connection
pipe.
• The gas inlet union can be turned in the direc-
tion required after the elbow tting “C” and nut
“A” connection (gure 20) has been slackened
(Fig. 21).
• Never put it in the horizontal or vertical position.
• Never attempt to turn the elbow “C” without having rst slacke-
ned o the relative lock nut “A”.
• The gasket “F” (g. 20) guarantees the seal of the gas connection.
It is recommended that it be replaced whenever it shows even
the slightest deformation or imperfection.
• Using a suitable leak detection uid solution (e.g. Rocol)
check each gas connection one at a time by brushing the so-
lution over the connection.
The presence of bubbles will indicate a leak. If there is a leak,
tighten the tting and then recheck for leaks.
IMPORTANT! Do not use a naked ame to test for leaks.
If installation is to be carried out using a exible connector (to BS669), then the following points must
be adhered to:
Note: The gas installation pipes and the nal connection to the appliance connecting pipe shall be
sucient size to maintain the heat output of the appliance as specied under installation.
1. The appliance exible connector should not be subject to undue forces, either in normal use whilst
being connected or disconnected.
2. The appliance exible connector should not be subject to excessive heat by direct exposure to ue
products or by contact with hot surfaces.
3. The socket into which the plug of the appliance exible connector ts should be permanently
attached to a rmly xed gas installation pipe and positioned such that the hose hangs freely
downwards.
4. The appliance exible connector should be positioned such that it will not suer mechanical da-
mage; eg abrasion from the surrounding kitchen furniture which may be moved in use, such as a
door or drawer, or by being trapped by a stability device.
5. The plug-in connector should be accessible for disconnection after moving the appliance.
