fixed using clamps that comply with current

regulations.

! If one or more of these conditions is not fulfilled or if the

Make sure that the hose and gaskets comply with

current national legislation.

To begin using the hose, remove the hose holder on

the appliance (the gas supply inlet on the appliance is

a cylindrical threaded 1/2 gas male attachment).

! Perform the connection in such a way that the hose

length does not exceed a maximum of 2 metres,

making sure that the hose is not compressed and

does not come into contact with moving parts.

Checking the tightness of the connection
When the installation process is complete, check the

hose fittings for leaks using a soapy solution. Never

use a flame.
