Gas Connection for the Hob
The hob should be connected to the gas supply by an authorized
installer. During installation of this product it is essential to fit an
approved gas tap to isolate the supply from the appliance for the
convenience of any subsequent removal or servicing. Connection
of the appliance to the gas mains or liquid gas tanks must be
carried out according to the safety standards currently in force,
and only after it is ascertained that it is suitable for the type of
gas to be used. If not, follow the instructions indicated in the
section entitled, “Adapting the Hob for Different Types of Gas”. If
the hob is to be connected to tanks containing liquid gas, use
pressure regulators that comply with current safety standards.
Important: To insure that the appliance operates safety, the gas
is regulated correctly and your appliance lasts over time, make
sure that gas pressure levels comply with the indications given
in Table 1, “Nozzle and Burner Specifications”.

Gas Connection to Non-flexible Pipe
(copper or steel)
Connection to the gas source must be done in such a way as to
not create any stress points at any part of the appliance.
The appliance is fitted with an adjustable, "L" shaped connector
and a gasket for the attachment to the gas supply. Should this
connector have to be turned, the gasket must be replaced
(supplied with the appliance).
The gas feed connector to the appliance is a threaded, male 1/
2" connector for round gas pipe.

Gas Connection to Flexible Steel Pipe
The gas feed connector to the appliance is a threaded, male 1/2"
connector for round gas pipe. Only use pipes, tubes and gaskets
that comply with current safety codes. The maximum length of
the flexible pipes must not exceed 2000 mm. Once the connection
has been made, ensure that the flexible metal tube does not
touch any moving parts and is not crushed.

Check the Seal
Once the hob has been installed, make sure all the connections
are properly sealed, using a soapy water solution. Never use a
flame.

Adapting the Hob for Different Types of Gas
To adapt the hob to a different type of gas than that for which it
was designed, (see the sticker under the hob or on the packaging),
the burner nozzles must be changed, as follows:

Remove the pan supports and slide the burners out of the
cooktop.

Unscrew the nozzles using a 7mm socket wrench and replace
them with those for the new type of gas. (See table 1, “Burner
and Nozzle Specifications”).

Reassemble the parts following the instructions in reverse
order.

f) In the event the hob is not installed above a built-in oven, a

wood panel must be inserted as insulation. This panel must
be placed at least 20 mm from the bottom of the hob itself.

Important: When installing the hob above a built-in oven, the
oven should be placed on two wooden strips; in the case of a
joining cabinet surface, remember to leave a space of at least 45
x 560 mm at the back.

When installing the hob above a built-in oven without forced
ventilation, ensure that there are air inlets and outlets for ventilating
the interior of the cabinet adequately.
