13.3 Gas connection
At the end of the installation, check for any leaks with a soapy solution, never
with a flame.
The tightening torque between connections that incorporate a gasket must be
between 10 and 15 Nm.
After carrying out any operation on the appliance, check that the gas
connections are properly tightened.
13.3.1 Connection with a rubber hose
CAUTION: The following instructions are valid solely for Class 1 installations.
See fig. C in chapter “13.1 Installing in kitchen units”.
Connection using a rubber hose complying with current standards is only
permitted if the hose can be inspected along its entire length.
The inside diameter of the hose must be 8 mm for LPG GAS and 13 mm for
NATURAL GAS and CITY GAS.
Installation with a standards-compliant rubber hose must be
carried out so that the length of the piping does not exceed 1.5
metres; make sure that the hose does not come into contact
with moving parts and that it is not crushed in any way.
Verify that all following conditions are met:
the hose is fixed to the hose connection with safety clamps;
no part of the hose is in contact with hot walls (max. 50°C);
the hose is not under traction or tension and has no kinks or
twists;
the hose is not in contact with sharp objects or sharp corners;
if the hose is not perfectly airtight and leaks gas, do not try to
repair it: replace it with a new hose;
verify that the hose is not past its expiry date (serigraphed on
the hose itself).
