3 - Gas installation
IMPORTANT NOTE
This appliance is supplied for use on NATURAL GAS or LPG (check the gas regulation
label attached on the appliance).
– Appliances supplied for use on NATURAL GAS: they are adjusted for this gas only
and cannot be used on any other gas (LPG) without modification. The appliances are
manufactured for conversion to LPG.
– Appliances supplied for use on LPG: they are adjusted for this gas only and cannot
be used on any other gas (NATURAL GAS) without modification. The appliances are
manufactured for conversion to NATURAL GAS.
If the NATURAL GAS/LPG conversion kit is not supplied with the appliance this kit can be
purchased by contacting the After-Sales Service.
Installation & service regulations (United Kingdom)
It is a legal requirement that all gas appliances are Installed & Serviced by a competent
person in accordance with the current editions of the following Standards & Regulations
or those regulations appropriate to the geographical region in which they are to be
installed:
– Gas Safety (Installation & Use) Regulations
– Building Regulations
– British Standards
– Regulations for Electrical Installation
Installation and service of any gas product must be made by a suitably qualified
person competent on the type of product being installed or serviced and holding a
valid certificate of competence for the work being carried out. Currently the proof of
competence is the Accredited Certification Scheme (ACS) or S/NVQ that has been
aligned to the ACS.
It is also a requirement that all businesses or self employed installers are members of a
class of person approved by the Health and Safety Executive.
Failure to install the appliance correctly could invalidate any manufacturers warranty and
lead to prosecution under the above quoted regulation.

14
The installation of the gas appliance to Natural Gas or LP Gas must be carried out by a
suitably qualied and registered person. Installers shall take due account of the provisions
of the relevant British Standards Code of Practice, the Gas Safety Regulations and
the Building Standards (Scotland)(Consolidation) Regulations issued by the Scottish
Development Department.
Installation to Natural Gas
Installation to Natural Gas must conform to the Code of Practice, etc.
The supply pressure for Natural Gas is 20 mbar.
The installation must conform to the relevant British Standards.
Installation to LP Gas
When operating on Butane gas a supply pressure of 28-30 mbar is required. When
using Propane gas a supply pressure of 37 mbar is required.
The installation must conform to the relevant British Standards.
Warning: Only a suitably qualified and registered person, also with technical knowledge
of electricity should install the appliance. He should observe the Regulations and Codes
of Practice governing such installation of gas appliances.
Note: It is recommended that the gas connection to the appliance is installed with a
flexible connecting tube made to BS5386.
Notes:
- Flexible hoses can be used where the sited ambient temperature of the hose
does not exceed 70°C. These hoses must be manufactured in accordance with
BS669 part 1 and be of the correct construction for the type of gas being used.
- Gas hoses designed for natural gas MUST NOT be used for supplying LPG gas
(LPG gas hoses can be identified by a either a red band or stripe on the rubber
outer coating of the hose).
The hose should not be crushed or trapped or be in contact with sharp or
abrasive edges.
Using a suitable leak detection fluid solution (e.g. Rocol) check each gas connection
one at a time by brushing the solution over the connection.
The presence of bubbles will indicate a leak.
If there is a leak, tighten the fitting and then recheck for leaks.
IMPORTANT!
Do not use a naked flame to test for leaks.

The gas supply must use the nearest gas inlet pipe which is located at the left or the
right hand side at the rear of the appliance (figs. 3.1, 3.3).
The hose should also be connected in such away that it does not touch the floor.
To screw the connecting tube operate with two spanners (fig. 3.2).
The unused end inlet pipe must be closed with the plug interposing the gasket.
After connecting to the mains, check that the coupling are correctly sealed, using
soapy solution, but never a flame.

Conversion to Natural Gas or to LPG
Injectors replacement of top
burners
Every cooker is provided with a set of
injectors for the various types of gas.
Injectors not supplied can be obtained
from the After-Sales Service.
Select the injectors to be replaced accor-
ding to the table at page 18.
The nozzle diameters, expressed in hun-
dredths of a millimetre, are marked on
the body of each injector.
To replace the injectors proceed as fol-
lows:
– Remove the grids and extract the
burner bodies.
– Using a wrench, substitute the nozzle
injectors “J” (Figs. 3.4, 3.5) with those
most suitable for the kind of gas for
which it is to be used (see “Table for
the choice of the injectors”).
The burners are constructed in such
a way so as not to require the regula-
tion of the primary air.

Adjusting of the minimum of
the top burners
In the minimum position the flame must
have a length of about 4 mm and must
remain lit even with a quick turn from the
maximum position to that of minimum.
The flame adjustment is done in the fol-
lowing way:
– Turn on the burner
– Turn the tap to the MINIMUM position
– Take off the knob
– With a thin screwdriver turn the screw
“F”until adjustment is correct (fig. 3.6).
Normally for LPG, the regulation
screw is tightened up.

If the gas tap becomes stiff, it is necessary to dismount it accurately clean it with gasoline
and spread a bit of special grease resistant to high temperatures on it.
If the gas tap becomes stiff, it is necessary to dismount it accurately clean it with gasoline
