8FO 0067Fig. 4Choose fixed connections or use a flexible pipe instainless steel in compliance with the regulation in force.If using flexible metallic pipes, be careful they do notcome in contact with mobile parts or they are notsqueezed. Use the same attention when the hob iscombinated with an oven.IMPORTANT - To ensure a correct operation, a savingof energy and the long-life of the appliance, the voltagepressure of the appliance must correspond to therecommended values.The adjustable connection is fixed to the comprehensiveramp by means of a threaded nut GJ 1/2". Interpose thesealing between the components as shown in fig. 4.Screw the parts without forcing, adjust the connection inthe required direction and tighten everything.Connection using flexible nonmetal pipesWhen the connection can be easily inspected in its fullextent, there is the chance to use a flexible pipeaccording to the rules in force. The flexible pipe must betightly fixed using clamps according to the rules in force.Natural gas : use the pipe fitting «D» (Fig. 4).LPG : use the rubber pipe holder «E».Always insert the gasket «B». Then proceed with thegas connection.The flexible pipe should be made ready for use in sucha way that:- nowhere it can reach overtemperature, other thanroom temperature, higher than 30°C; if the flexiblepipe, to reach the cock, must run behind the range,it must be installed as shown in Fig. 4;- it is no longer than 1500 mm;- it shows no throttles;- it is not subject to traction or torsion;- it doesn't get in touch with cutting edges or corners;- it can be easily inspected in order to check itscondition.The control of preservation of the flexible pipe consistsin checking that:- it doesn't show cracks, cuts, marks of burnings bothon the end parts and on its full extent;- the material is not hardened, but shows its normalelasticity;- the fastening clamps are not rusted;- expiry term is not due.If one or more abnormalities are seen, do not repair thepipe, but replace it.ImportantOnce installation is complete, check the perfectseal of every pipe fitting, using a soapy solution,never a flameGas connectionA) Ramp with ending nutB) SealC) Adjustable connectionD) Rubber pipe holder for Natural gasE) Rubber pipe holder for LPG
