4.5 Connecting the gas supply line
The appliance is shipped from the factory for use with
¾"
natural gas. If you want to use propane gas it must be
converted. A qualified technician or installer must do the
(19)
conversion.
Note
Ensure the following requirements are met before you try
to connect the appliance to the gas supply:
¡ Before connecting the appliance, check whether the
local connection conditions such as gas type and gas
pressure match the appliance settings.
¡ Make sure the gas supply is turned off at the manual
shutoff valve before connecting the appliance.
¡ The gas connection must be in a location that permits
access to the manual shut-off valve and which, if
applicable, is visible after opening the door or drawers
of the cabinet.
¡ The metal flex gas line must not come into contact with
moving parts of the fitted unit (e.g. drawers) or be laid in
areas where it could become trapped or damaged.
¡ The metal flex gas line must not come into contact with
a cooktop, oven, dishwasher, refrigerator, washing
machine, hot water pipe, radiator or any other appliance
installed in the vicinity of the gas cooktop.
¡ The metal flex gas line must not be subject to rubbing,
vibrations, kinking or any other kind of deformation. It
should be checked along its entire length with the
cooktop in the installation position.
¡ All pipe connections must be sealed in accordance with
local codes.

Important notes for gas connection:
¡ The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping system during
any pressure testing at pressures in excess of ½ psi
(3.5 kPa).
¡ The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply
piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff
valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply
piping system at test pressures equal to or less than
½ psi (3.5 kPa).
