CONNECTING THE APPLIANCE TO THE GAS SUPPLY
Before connecting the appliance to the gas supply you first need to remove the plastic protective
plug for the gas supply which is inserted under pressure in the gas inlet connection. To remove the
plug simply unscrew it.
Then make sure that the details shown on the label on the lower part of the case are compatible with
those of the gas supply.
A label on the last page of this manual and on the lower part of the case indicates the conditions for
regulating the appliance: type of gas and pressure used.
IMPORTANT: This appliance must be installed in accordance with the norms in force of the country
concerned and it must only be used in a well-ventilated place.
ATTENTION: Remember that the gas inlet connection for the appliance is threaded 1/2 gas
cylindrical male in accordance with the norms UNI-ISO 228-1. (Fig. 6-7)
There are two ways to make the connection to the main gas line:
A. The hotplate can be connected with rigid pipe as specified in AS5601 table 3.1.
B. The hotplate can be connected with a Flexible Hose, which complies with AS/NZS 1869 (AGA Approved),
10mm ID, class B or D, no more than 1.2m long and in accordance with AS5601.
WARNING: Ensure that the hose assembly is restrained from accidental contact with the flue or flue outlet of
an underbench oven and it does not contact the hot surfaces of the hotplate, oven, dishwasher or other
separate appliance that may be installed underneath or next to the hotplate. The hose should not be
subjected to abrasion, kinking or permanent deformation and should be able to be inspected along its entire
length. Unions compatible with the hose fittings must be used and connections tested for gas leaks.
The supply connection point must be accessible with the appliance installed. Fit the supplied elbow and
gasket as shown in Fig.15 The gas inlet connection has a 1/2" BSP male thread. When making the
connection, take care not to apply excessive stress by counterbalancing tightening force. Ensure that the
available gas supply is the same as the gas type label affixed to the base of the hob. If not, contact Technika
for a Gas Conversion Kit. The gas supply pressure must be adjusted in accordance with the data label for
the gas type.
Natural Gas
The natural gas regulator supplied must be fitted for natural gas. Ensure the arrow on the regulator points
towards the direction of the gas flow. The test point pressure must be adjusted to 1.00 kPa with the largest
burner operating on maximum flame.
Propane Gas
Fit the LPG test point assembly (supplied in the gas conversion kit). An AGA Approved gas regulator suitable
for a supply pressure of 2.75kPa should be part of the gas tank supply.
CHANGING THE NOZZLES FOR USE WITH OTHER TYPES OF GAS:
To change the nozzles of the burners use the following procedure:
Lift up the burners and unscrew the nozzles ( Fig. 9) using an adjustable spanner of 7 mm and change the
nozzles with those designed for the new gas supply according to the information given in TABLE A shown
below.
