4. 
Gas connection 
 
If the appliance is installed above an over, the gas hose must be passed around the back 
of the oven to prevent overheating.
 
The connection to the gas mains may be made using a copper pipe or a continuous-wall 
steel hose in accordance with the relevant regulations. To simplify connection, the 
horizontal position of the fitting A on the back of the appliance is adjustable. Undo the 
hexagonal nut B, turn the fitting A into the required position and re-tighten the hexagonal 
nut B (it has a rubber gasket to ensure it provides an effective seal). When installation is 
complete, check for any leaks with a soapy solution, never with a naked light. The hob is 
tested with G20 (2H) natural gas at the pressure of 20 mbar. For use with other types of 
gas, see point "5. ADAPTING TO DIFFERENT TYPES OF GAS". The gas intake 
connection has an external ½" gas thread (ISO 228-1). 
 
 
Connection with copper pipe: The connection to the gas 
supply mains must be made so that no stresses or strains 
of any kind are applied to the appliance. The connection 
can be made using the adapter unit D with two conical 
elements, always fitting the gasket C supplied. 
 
Connection with steel hose: use only continuous-wall 
stainless steel hoses compliant with the relevant 
regulations, and always fit the gasket C supplied between 
the fitting A and the hose E
 
 
 
 
 
When connecting with a hose, ensure that the total length of the pipeline is not more 
than 1.5 metres; also ensure that the hoses do not touch moving parts and are not 
crushed.
