e) The wall in contact with the back of the cooker must
be of flameproof material.
Connecting the gas
Before connecting the cooker, check that it is preset for
the gas to be used. Otherwise, make the conversion as
described in the section headed "Adapting to different gas
types". The connection is on the right; if the pipe has to
pass behind the cooker, it must be kept low down where
the temperature is about 50°C.
- Rigid connection (see fig. 3 A + B)
The connection to the mains gas supply may be made
using a rigid metal pipe or with a metal hose. Remove
the hose connector (if already fitted) and screw the rigid
union onto the threaded connection of the gas train (see
fig. 3A). The union for rigid connection may already be
fitted on the gas train, or may be amongst the cooker
accessories. Otherwise, it can be obtained from your
dealer.
If national regulations permit, a metal hose complying
with the national standards can be screwed directly onto
the threaded connection of the gas train, fitting a seal
(see fig. 3B). However, users are strongly recommended
always to fit the rigid union.
- Connection using a rubber hose (see fig. 3C). (For bu-
tane/propane gas only).
Connect a rubber hose carrying the conformity mark
currently in force to the hose connector. The hose must
be replaced at the date indicated at the latest, and must
be secured at both ends using standard hose clamps.
It must be absolutely accessible to allow its condition to
be checked along its entire length.
Caution:
- Use of the hose connector is only permitted for free-stan-
ding installation. If the appliance is installed between two
class 2 st. 2-1 unions, the rigid union is the only form of
connection permitted.
Important:
- After installation, check that the connections are airti-
ght.
- For operation with butane/propane, check that the gas
pressure is as indicated on the nameplate.
- Use only standard rubber hoses. For LPG, use a hose
which complies with the national regulations in force.
- Avoid sharp bends in the pipe and keep it well way from
hot surfaces.

to the appliance: ISO 7-1.

The cooker's hose holder must be connected to the cylin-
der's pressure regulator by means of a flexible hose 95
cm in length, with its respective hose clamps. This hose
must be inserted in the special support, as illustrated in
the figure, so as to avoid it coming into contact with hot
surfaces. Use flexible hoses and pressure regulators which
conform to current national regulations.
Cylinder dimensions (only present on some models)
The cylinder's maximum capacity is to be of 15 Kg and
it must be in line with the dimensions (expressed in milli-
metres) as prescribed by the current national regulations
(see figure).
Connection with hose
Make the connection using a gas hose complying with
the the characteristics provided in current directive. The
internal diameter of the pipe used is as follows:
- 8mm for liquid gas;
- 13mm for methane gas.
When installing the hose, remember to take the following
precautions:
• No part of the hose should touch parts whose tempe-
rature exceeds 50°C;
• The length of the hose should be less than 1500
mm;
• The hose should not be subject to twisting or pulling,
and should not have bends or kinks.
• The hose should not touch objects with sharp edges,
any moving parts, and it should not be crushed;
• The full length of the hose should be easy to inspect
in order to check its condition;
Check that the hose fits firmly into place at the two ends
and fix it with clamps complying to current directive.If any
