Connect your appliance with a short and durable hose that is
as close as possible to the gas source.
The hose’s permitted maximum length is 1.5m. The hose that
brings gas to the appliance must be changed once a year for
your safety.
The hose must be kept clear from areas that may heat up to
temperatures in excess of 900C. The hose must not be ruptured,
bent or folded. It must be kept clear of sharp corners, moving
objects and should not be defective. Before assembly, it must
be checked for any production defect.
As gas is turned on, all connection parts and hoses must be
checked with soapy water or leakage uids. No bubble should
appear. If there are bubbles, check the connection joint and
redo the test. Do not use naked ame to check for gas leaks. All
metal components used for the gas connection must be clear
of rust. Also check the expiry dates of components to be used.
The points that must be checked during xed gas connection
assembly
To assemble a xed gas connection (gas connection made by
threads, e.g. a nut), there are different methods used in different
countries. The most common parts are already supplied with
your appliance. Any other part can be supplied as a spare part.
During connections, always keep the nut on the gas manifold
xed, while rotating the counter-part. Use appropriately sized
spanners for a safe connection. For all surfaces between different
