GAS CONNECTION 
 
   
 
  Connection to the gas mains may be made with a rigid copper pipe or 
with a flexible pipe and conforming to the provisions defined by 
standard regulations in force. 
To facilitate connection, fitting on the rear of the appliance may be 
adjusted laterally. For this purpose, loosen hexagon nut B, turn fitting A 
to the desired position, and retighten hexagon nut (tightness is 
ensured by a biconical brass ring). Use a soapy solution to check for 
proper tightness. Never use a free flame. The hob has been inspected 
for  G20 (2H) natural gas at a pressure of 20 mbar. For use with other 
types of gases, see Section “ ADAPTATION TO DIFFERENT TYPES 
OF GAS”. The gas intake fitting is ½” gas external threaded (ISO 228-
1). 
 
   
 
 
  Connection with rigid copper pipe: the 
connection to the gas mains must not 
provoke stress of any kind on the hob. 
Connection may be made by using biconical 
adapter  D with insertion of gasket C
(supplied). 
 
 
   
 
  Connection with flexible pipe: use only 
flexible pipes conforming to standard 
regulations in force, inserting gasket C
(supplied) between fitting and flexible pipe 
E
 
   
 
The flexible pipe has to be installed so that pipe length does not exceed 
1.5 meters of maximum extension. Make sure that the pipes do not 
touch any moving parts or become damaged.
