Gas Connection
Assembly of gas supply and leakage check
The connection of the appliance should be performed in accordance with applicable local
and international standards and regulations. First, check what type of gas is installed on
the cooker. This information is available on a sticker on the back of the cooker. You can
find the information related to appropriate gas types and appropriate gas injectors in the
technical data table. Check that the feeding gas pressure is compliant with values on the
technical data table, to be able to get the most efficient use and to ensure the minimum
gas consumption. If the pressure of used gas is different than the values stated or not

EN -13-
stable in your area, it may be necessary to assemble an available pressure regulator
on the gas inlet. You should contact the authorised service to make these adjustments.
Points that must be checked during flexible hose assembly:
•
If the gas connection is made by a flexible hose fixed onto the gas inlet of the hob, it
must be fixed on by a pipe collar.
•
Connect your appliance with a short and durable hose that is as close as possible
to the gas source.
•
The permitted maximum length of the hose is 1.5 m.
•
The hose that supplies the appliance with gas must be changed once a year for your
security.
•
The hose must be kept clear of areas that may heat up to temperatures of more
than 90°C.
•
The hose must not be cracked, torn, bent or folded.
•
Keep the hose clear of sharp corners and objects that could move.
•
Before you assemble the connection, you must make sure the hose is not damaged.
Use bubbly water or leakage fluids to perform the check. Do not use a naked flame
to check for gas leakage.
•
All metal items that are used during gas connection must be free from rust. Check
the expiry date of any components used for connection.
Points that must be checked during fixed gas connection assembly:
The method used to assemble a fixed gas connection (gas connection made by threads,
e.g. a nut) varies according to the country you are in. The most common parts for your
country will be supplied with your appliance. Any other parts required can be supplied
as spare parts.
During connection, always keep the nut on the gas manifold fixed while rotating the
counter-part. Use appropriately-sized spanners for a safe connection. For surfaces
between different components always use the seals provided in the gas conversion kit.
The seals used during connection should also be approved to be used in gas connections.
Do not use plumbing seals for gas connections.
Remember that this appliance is ready to be connected to the gas supply in the country
for which it has been produced. The main country of destination is marked on the rear
cover of the appliance. If you need to use it in another country, any of the connections
in the figure below may be required. In such a case, contact local authorities to learn
the correct gas connection.

EN -14-
The Cooker must be installed and maintained by a suitably qualified gas registered
technician in accordance with current safety legislation.
WARNING: Do not use a naked flame to check for gas leaks.
Gas Conversion (If available)
Your appliance is designed to be operated with LPG/NG gas. The gas burners can be
adapted to different types of gas, by replacing the corresponding injectors and adjusting
the minimum flame length suitable to the gas in use. For this purpose, the following steps
should be performed:
Changing injectors
Hob burners
•
Cut off the main gas supply and unplug the appliance from the mains electrical supply.
•
Remove the burner caps and the adapters.
•
Use a 7 mm spanner to unscrew the injectors.
•
Replace the injector with the ones from the gas conversion kit, with the correct
diameters for the type of gas that is going to be used, according to the gas injector table.

Grill Injector
The grill injector is held in position by a single screw on the tip of the burner. This screw
is already visible. Remove the screw, pull the grill burner towards you and the injector
will be visible on the rear surface of the oven cavity.
Remove the injectors using a 7mm spanner and replace the injector with the ones from
the spare set. Make sure you use corresponding diameters suitable to the type of gas
that is going to be used, according to the information chart (which is also supplied in the
gas conversion kit).
Oven Injector
The oven burner is held in its cradle by a single clip on the left-hand side of the burner.
Pull the clip towards the left and, with your other hand, lift the burner up holding from
the thermocouple/spark plug holder. The injector is on the right-hand side of the burner
cradle. Repeat the same procedure for both Main and Top Oven (if present) burners.

that is going to be used, according to the information chart (which is also supplied in the
gas conversion kit).
Adjusting the minimum flame position:
First of all, make sure that the appliance is unplugged from the the mains electrical supply
and that the gas feed is open. The minimum flame position is adjusted with a flat screw
located on the valve. For valves with a flame failure safety device, the screw is located
on the side of the valve spindle and for valves without a flame failure safety device, the
screw is located inside the valve spindle. To make adjusting the flame position easier,
we recommend that you remove the control panel (and the micro switch if your model
has one) during the alteration. The position of the bypass screw must be loosened for
conversion from LPG to natural gas. For conversion from natural gas to LPG, the bypass
screw must be tightened.
Determining the minimum flame position
To determine the minimum position, ignite the burners and leave them on in minimum
position. Remove the knobs because the screws are accessible only when the knobs
are removed. With the help of a small screwdriver, fasten or loosen the bypass screw
by around 90 degrees. When the flame has a length of at least 4mm, the gas is well
distributed. Make sure that the flame does not die out when passing from the maximum
position to the minimum position. Create an artificial wind with your hand toward the
flame to see if the flames are stable. For the oven burner, operate the oven burner at the

minimum position for 5 minutes, then open and close the oven door 2-3 times to check
the flame stability of the burner.
Changing the gas inlet
For some countries, the gas inlet type can be different for NG/LPG gases. In such a case,
remove the current connection components and nuts (if any) and connect the new gas
supply accordingly. In all conditions, all components used in gas connections should be
approved by local and/or international authorities. In all gas connections, refer to the
“Assembly of gas supply and leakage check” clause explained before.
