Gas supply connection

The gas connection must be carried out in compliance

with standards. The appliances leave the factory tested

and adjusted for the type of gas specified on the plate

located in the bottom protection, near the gas connection

pipe. Make sure the type of gas used is the same as

that specified on the plate.

Otherwise, proceed according to the instructions given

in the section “Converting to different types of gas”.

To ensure maximum efficiency and lower consumption,

make sure the gas supply pressure respects the values

given in the “Burner specifications” table.

If the pressure of the gas used is different (or variable)

from that provided for, a suitable pressure regulator for

the piped gas (NOT LPG), complying with Standard UNI-

CIG 7430, must be installed on the

inlet piping.

The use of pressure regulators for liquified gases (LPG)

is allowed provided they comply with Standard.

The union is fitted on the end part of the gas train, with a

G 1/2" threaded nut, interposing the seal between the

components as shown in Fig.7. Screw the parts without

forcing, turn the union in the required direction, then

tighten everything.

FO 0264

Fume exhaust

Gas cooking appliances must exhaust the fumes

through hoods directly connected to flues or directly to

the outside (Fig. 5).

If a hood cannot be installed, it is necessary to use

electric exhaust fans applied to the external wall or the

window of the room, provided conditions exist so that the

opening for ventilation can be increased (see fig.6) in

proportion to the performance of the electric fan.

The electric exhaust fan performance must be able to

guarantee an hourly air exchange, for a kitchen, equal

to 3 - 5 times its volume.

Connection

Make the connection to the gas system using a rigid

metal pipe and fittings complying with Standard, or with

a s/steel flexible tube complying with Standard UNI-CIG

9891, limited to those not longer than 2 m. When using

flexible metal tubes make sure they are not in contact

with movable parts or squashed. Pay the same attention

also when an oven and top combination is provided for.

The gas inlet union for the appliances is 1/2" cylindrical

male thread.

Make the connection, avoiding any kind of stress on the

appliance.

IMPORTANT

· After installation, always check the perfect seal of

all unions using a soapy solution. Never carry out

this check with a flame.

If the opening cannot be made in the room where the

appliance is installed, the necessary air can come from

an adjacent room, provided:

• it is not a bedroom or a dangerous environment;

• it is not in depression;

• the ventilation between the room where the appliance

is installed and the adjacent room is ensured by

means of permanent openings (UNI-CIG 7129).

The appliance is arranged to operate on a 230 V single-

phase power supply. Connection must be made in

compliance with current standards and regulations.

Before carrying out the connection, make sure:

1) the limiter valve and the electrical system can take

the appliance load (refer to the serial no. plate);

2) the supply system is equipped with an efficient

earth connection in compliance with current

standards;

3) the socket or omnipolar switch used are easily

accessible with the appliance installed.

Fit the cable with a plug suitable for the load and connect

it to a suitable safety socket.

To connect directly to the mains, a suitable omnipolar

switch with contact gap of at least 3 mm complying with

current standards must be installed between the

appliance and the network.

The yellow/green earth wire must not be interrupted by

the switch.

The brown phase wire (coming from terminal “L” on the

terminal block) must always be connected to the power

supply phase wire.

In any case the power cable must be positioned in such

a way that no part of it reaches a temperature of more

than 90°C.

An example of an optimum path is given in Fig. 8. The

cable is guided by means of clamps fixed to the side of

the cabinet, in order to avoid any contact with the

equipment beneath the cooktop.

REPLACING THE POWER CABLE

When replacing the power cable only use H05V2V2-F

T90 type cables suitable for the load and operating tem-

perature. Also, the yellow/green earth wire must be

approx. 2 cm longer than the phase and neutral wires

(Fig. 9).

After connection, test the heating elements by operating

them for about 3 minutes.
