Follow the instructions indicated in “Gas conversion and adjustment” if the appliance must be
adapted for use with different gas types.
The appliance must be connected to the gas supply by means of a rigid metal pipe, in compliance
with standards in force, or a seamless flexible steel pipe in compliance with standards in force.
Certain models are supplied with two unions:
a cylindrical union (A) and a conical union (B) (fig.5). Choose the appropriate union according to the
country of installation.
