Gas compatibility
Gas compatibility
Before installation, verify that the local distribution conditions (gas type and
pressure) and the adjustment state of the appliance are compatible (see appliance
technical plate). Otherwise before continuing, read the instructions in the paragraph
"adapting to different types of gas".
Connection to the gas mains: (follow the check list below)
ONLY A TRAINED TECHNICIAN OR GAS APPLIANCE INSTALLER MUST
MAKE THE CONNECTION TO THE GAS MAINS.
Tightness tests must be carried out by the installer as per the instructions in
section (g).
a) A gas ball valve must be installed between the gas mains wall and the hob, in an
accessible position. Use a flexible stainless steel pipe suitable for the gas mains
and cooker connection.
b) Ensure the connecting pipe and the various fittings are free from foreign objects
such as dirt, splinters, etc. These elements could end up inside the ramp tube
damaging the kitchen taps.
c) Turn off all the pilot flames and close the gas valves of other gas appliances.
d) Close the gas valve of the primary gas mains.
e) Proceed with the installation of the cooker to the gas mains.
f) Re-open the main valve of the gas mains, then proceed to re-ignite the pilot
flames of other gas appliances.
g) Apply a solution of soapy water on the joints of the new gas connections to check
for gas soundness. Open the ball valve upstream of the gas appliance: in the
presence of air bubbles, tighten slightly even further the connection component
to stop the leak. Then repeat the gas soundness test.
WARNING: NEVER USE A NAKAED FLAME TO CHECK FOR
GAS LEAKS. AT THE END OF THE SOUNDNESS TEST, REMOVE
ANY RESIDUAL SUBSTANCES ON THE SURFACE.
e) Remove any remaining polystyrene packaging used to hold the burners in place
during transportation.
