Installation instructions
Connecting the cooktop to the gas supply
The gas connection fitting (Fig. 5) is made up of:
the floating nut
the elbow
the washer.
If using a flexible hose, make sure it does not come into contact with moving parts.
To maintain the minimum 30 mm clearance requirement below the base of the cooktop, the rear
of the chassis is recessed to provide a channel for the appliance inlet pipe.
The gas connection fitting can be turned in the direction required (but never in a vertical or
horizontal position) after loosening the elbow and floating nut connection.
Never attempt to turn the elbow without having first loosened the floating nut.
The supplied washer guarantees a good seal for the gas connection. We recommend that you
replace it on the slightest sign of wear, deformation or imperfection.
After connecting the gas supply, check the piping and connections for leaks as required by
local regulations. The presence of bubbles indicates a leak. Tighten or replace connections as
appropriate, then re-check for leaks.
Important!
Do not use any naked flame to check for leaks.
