Installation
18
The appliance should be connected to the gas supply by means of metal tubing --either
rigid or flexible-- having a proportionate diameter (see “Technical specification table” at
the end of this manual). When joining pipe fittings, never use oakum or Teflon as their
residues could get to the valve/regulator and jeopardise its operation. Instead, interpose a
seal gasket suitable for use in gas systems. Do not forget to fit a shutoff valve on the gas
supply line upstream of the appliance, which should be closed whenever the appliance is
not in operation. Operating pressure values are shown on the rating plate and in the pre-
vious "Table 1: gas categories and pressure values"
Once connection to the gas supply is completed, check for leaks at joints and pipe fittings;
to do so, use soapy water or a specific leak detector (spray).
