must have sufficient airflow to ensure proper
combustion of the gas and the necessary air
exchange in the room itself. The air vents,
protected by grilles, must be of the correct
size to comply with current regulations and
positioned so that no part of them is
obstructed, even partially. The room must
be sufficiently ventilated to remove the heat
and humidity generated during cooking: it is
advisable to open a window or increase
the speed of any fans, especially after long
periods of use.
Gas connection
The appliance is shipped from the factory
for use with natural gas at a pressure of 4"
of water column. When checking if the
regulator is working properly, the inlet
pressure must be at least 1" greater than the
operating (manifold) pressure above.
When used with natural gas, the pressure
supplied to the regulator must be between
5" and 10.5" of the water column. To
convert the appliance for use with propane,
see “Conversion to propane gas (LPG)”.
The conversion must be done by a qualified
technician or installer. The gas inlet to the
unit is located at the back right of the
appliance. Install the pressure regulator
(supplied with the unit) on the gas inlet.
Place the gasket (supplied with the unit)
between the inlet and the regulator. Position
the regulator so that the cap is easily
accessible. Tighten the nut on the gas inlet
so that it is hand tight plus 1/3 turn.
Connect the gas pipe to the regulator using
Teflon tape or pipe joint compound
(resistant to propane gas and natural gas).
Turn so that it is hand tight plus 1/3 turn. Do
not exceed 1 turn for alignment, to prevent
possible damage to the gas pressure
regulator. Check the inlet connections and
the regulator for leaks.
