Gas connection
The appliance should be connected to the main gas
supply or to a gas cylinder in compliance with
current national regulations. Before carrying out the
connection, make sure the cooker is compatible with
the gas supply you wish to use. If this is not the
case, follow the instructions indicated in the
paragraph “Adapting to different types of gas.”
When using liquid gas from a cylinder, install a
pressure regulator which complies with current
national regulations.

Replacing the cable
The supply cable must be positioned so that no part of
it reaches a temperature of 50°C above room
temperature. For installation above a built-under oven,
the hob and the oven must be connected separately
to the electricity supply, both for safetly reasons and
for easy removal of the oven for repair, maintenance
etc.
Use a rubber cable of the type H05RR-F with a
suitable cross section 3 x 0.75 mm².
The yellow-green earth wire must be 2-3 cm longer
than the other wires.
DO NOT use adapters as they could cause
overheating or burning.
Before connecting to the power supply, make sure
that:
• the limiter switch and the domestic system can
withstand the load from the appliance (see rating
plate).
• the supply system is efficiently earthed according
to standards and laws in force.
• the socket or double-pole switch are easily
accessible when the appliance is installed.
