Installation Manual

Gas connection
83
 Connec
tion to the gas supply
and any switchover to a different gas
type may only be performed by a
duly authorized gas company
technician. This technician is
responsible for proper function at the
installation site.
In Massachusetts installation must
be performed by a licensed
plumber/gas fitter.
The range must be connected with
its own shut-off valve.
The gas connection must be
arr
anged in such a way that
connection is possible inside or
outside of the kitchen cabinets. The
shut-off valve must be accessible
and visible, after the opening of a
cabinet door, if necessary.
The gas connection of the range is
desir
ed for natural gas or liquid gas
(propane) according to the model.
Ask your gas company what kind of
ga
s is used and compare it with the
specifications on the data plate.
The range is not connected to an
e
xhaust vent.
During the setup and connection of
the r
ange, observe the applicable
installation conditions, especially
suitable ventilation measures.
The gas connections must be
arranged in such a way that they are
not heated and damaged by the
operation of the range.
In particular, make sure that the gas
hose lines and connection fittings on
the r
ange do not come into contact
with hot exhaust gases.
Flexible connecting lines can be
damage
d by incorrect attachment.
Attach flexible connecting lines in
such a way so that they do not come
in
to contact with any moving kitchen
parts (e.g., a drawer) and are not
exposed to mechanical stress.
The range and the shut-off valve
must be disconne
cted from the gas
supply during gas pressure tests.
Disconnect the range and the shut-
off valve fr
om the gas supply before
performing a gas pressure test at a
pressure of more than 1/2 psi
(3.5 kPA). Close the shut-off valve of
the gas supply before performing a
gas pressure test at a pressure of
less than or equal to 1/2 psi
(3.5 kPA).
Incorrectly sealed gas lines can lead
t
o a gas leak and thus to an
explosion.
Seal all gas lines with a suitable
thr
ead sealant.
Seal tightness tests on the range
must be per
formed according to
manufacturer specifications.
