• Does not come into contact with blades, sharp

corners or moving parts and that it is not

compressed.

• Is easy to inspect along its whole length so that

its condition may be checked.

• Is shorter than 1500 mm.

• Fits firmly into place at both ends, where it will be

fixed using clamps that comply with current

regulations.

 If one or more of these conditions is not fulfilled or

if the cooker must be installed according to the

conditions listed for class 2 - subclass 1 appliances

(installed between two cupboards), the flexible steel

hose must be used instead (see below).

Connecting a flexible jointless stainless steel

pipe to a threaded attachment

Make sure that the hose and gaskets comply with

current national legislation.

To begin using the hose, remove the hose holder on

the appliance (the gas supply inlet on the appliance

is a cylindrical threaded 1/2 gas male attachment).

 Perform the connection in such a way that the hose

length does not exceed a maximum of 2 metres,

making sure that the hose is not compressed and

does not come into contact with moving parts.

Checking the tightness of the connection

When the installation process is complete, check

the hose fittings for leaks using a soapy solution.

Never use a flame.

Adapting to different types of gas

It is possible to adapt the appliance to a type of gas

other than the default type (this is indicated on the

rating label on the cover).

Adapting the hob
Replacing the nozzles for the hob burners:

1. Remove the hob grids and slide the burners off

their seats.

2. Unscrew the nozzles using

a 7 mm socket spanner (see

figure), and replace them with

nozzles suited to the new type

of gas (see Burner and nozzle

specifications table).

3. Replace all the components

by following the above

instructions in reverse.

Adjusting the hob burners’ minimum setting:

1. Turn the tap to the minimum position.

2. Remove the knob and adjust the regulatory

screw, which is positioned inside or next to the tap

pin, until the flame is small but steady.

 If the appliance is connected to a liquid gas

supply, the regulatory screw must be fastened as

tightly as possible:

3. While the burner is alight, quickly change the position

of the knob from minimum to maximum and vice versa

several times, checking that the flame is not

extinguished.

 The hob burners do not require primary air adjustment.

 After adjusting the appliance so it may be used with a

different type of gas, replace the old rating label with a

new one that corresponds to the new type of gas (these

labels are available from Authorised Technical Assistance

Centres).

 Should the gas pressure used be different (or vary

slightly) from the recommended pressure, a suitable

pressure regulator must be fitted to the inlet hose in

accordance with current national regulations relating

to “regulators for channelled gas”.
