Installation instructions
When connecting the cooktop to the gas supply with rigid pipes or a flexible
hose (which must comply with BS 669 in the UK), make sure that:
you use rigid pipes or a flexible hose compliant with applicable local regulations. The flexible
hose shall be of the correct construction for the type of gas being used and of the correct size to
maintain the heat output of the appliance
the connection with rigid metal pipes does not cause stress or pressure to the gas piping
the flexible hose is not under tension, twisted, kinked, or too tightly bent, neither while the
cooktop is in use nor while it is being connected or disconnected
the flexible hose is not longer than 2000 mm (or refer to applicable local regulations) and does
not come into contact with sharp edges, corners, or moving parts, as these may cause abrasion.
Use a single flexible hose only; never connect the cooktop with more than one flexible hose
the flexible hose can easily be inspected along its entire length to check its condition; if it has an
expiry date, it should be replaced before that date
if using a flexible hose which is not entirely made of metal, make sure that it does not come into
contact with any part of the cooktop with a surface temperature of 70
o C or above
the rigid pipe or flexible hose is replaced if it shows signs of damage
the flexible hose is not subject to excessive heat by direct exposure to flue products or by
contact with hot surfaces
the socket into which the plug of the flexible hose fit is permanently attached to a firmly fixed
gas installation pipe and is positioned so that the hose hangs freely downwards
the plug of the flexible hose is accessible after installation, so that it can be disconnected for
service or removal
you inform the customer that the rigid pipe or flexible hose should not be subjected to
corrosion by cleaning agents.
