Either a rigid metal pipe with fittings in compliance with the standards in force must be used for connecting to the nipple union (threaded ½"G male fitting) situated at the rear of the appliance to the right (Fig. 9), or flexible steel pipe in compliance with the standards in force, which must not exceed 2000 mm in length. Should it be necessary to turn the fitting, the gasket (supplied with the appliance) must be replaced. Upon completion of installation, check the gas circuit, the internal connections and the taps for leaks using a soapy solution (never a flame). Also check that the connecting pipe cannot come into contact with moving parts which could damage or crush it. Make sure that the natural gas pipe is adequate for a sufficient supply to the appliance when all the burners are lit Important: A pressure regulator, in compliance with the standards in force, must be inserted when connecting to a liquid gas supply (in a cylinder). Adaptation to a different type of gas If the hob is to be converted for use with a type of gas other than that for which it was set in the factory (indicated on the label to be found on the hob), the burner nozzles should be replaced as follows: • Remove the pan supports and the burners. • Unscrew the nozzles “A” (Fig. 10) using a 7 mm socket wrench and replace them with the ones which have a diameter suitable for the type of gas to be used, according to the table 1 "burners and nozzles specifications). € On completing the operation, replace the old rating GB Electrical connection Hobs equipped with a three-pole power supply cable are designed to operate with alternating current at the voltage and frequency indicated on the data plate (this is located on the lower part of the appliance).
