Miele GAS KM 81-2 - Manual (Page 20)

]ö
Gas connection
This appliance must be installed
with a separate shut-off valve and a
gas pressure regulator.
Both shut-off valve and pressure
regulator must be easily accessible
to the consumer.
This appliance and its individual
shut-off valve must be discon-
nected from the gas supply during
any pressure testing of that system
at test pressures in excess of 1/2
PSI (3.5 kPa). This appliance must
be isolated from the gas supply pip-
ing system by closing its individual
manual shut-off valve during any
pressure testing of the gas supply
piping system at test pressures equal
to or less than 1/2 PSI (3.5 kPa).
A straight thread adapter, from 1/2" ISO
7-1 to 1/2" NPT is included with the ap-
pliance.
(Elbow adapter is also included for
appliances sold in Canada.)
As shown in the above diagram, the in-
cluded adapter and regulator
must be
used when connecting the Miele cook-
top. These two items have been cus-
tomized by Miele to meet all applicable
safety requirements.
Any pipe connections must be
made using a thread sealant ap-
proved for gas connections.
Failure to correctly install these
items could lead to a gas leak and
subsequent explosion.
For convenience, an approved type of
flexible stainless steel gas pipe
(accordion type) may be installed
between the adapter and the regulator.
This will allow the unit to be lifted for
cleaning or servicing. Ensure that any
drawers, cabinet doors, etc. do not rub
on the gas pipe.
If an elbow adapter is necessary for
your particular installation, a cus-
tomized one
– can be obtained free of charge from
the Miele parts department (USA).
– is supplied with the appliance
(CDN). The end with the white mark-
ing screws onto the appliance.
Do not use any regulator or adapter,
straight, elbow or otherwise, unless
it has been supplied by Miele Ap-
pliances.
Should you have any questions, please
call the Miele Service Department at
USA: 1-800-843-7231
CDN: (905) 474-1073 or -9191 ext. 234.
