Connecting the Gas
Connecting the hob to the gas mains
should be done in compliance with the
current installation standards and/or regu-
lations, and by a qualified technician (an
authorised installing engineer). The gas
connection for these hotplates should be
made with rigid piping, because the
appliance is a stationery one, where it is
destined for the EC market. The hob has a
threaded connection of 1/2’’ in diameter
(as per EN ISO 228-1 ) or 1/2’’ with a coni-
cal thread (as per EN 10226-1), depending
on the regulations in the destination
country.
For markets with an EN ISO 228-1 1/2’’
connection, a 10/12 mm copper pipe is
provided as an accessory for welding to
the gas intake pipe.
Ventilation slots should also be made at
the site in compliance with current norms.
Connecting the hob’s gas intake to the
mains should be done in compliance with
the basic gas installation standards for
residential premises.
TEKA assumes no responsibility for any
malfunction or damage that arises from an
incorrect or faulty installation.
In order that the hob is not damaged by
tightening the nut on the gas connection
pipe, a maximum torque of 300 cm * Kgf
should be applied.
When the gas connection has been made,
the installation should be checked to ensu-
re that it is completely sealed. If the check
is done using air, care should be taken that
the test pressure is no more than 200
g/cm² Where air is not available, soapy
water should be applied to ensure that
there are no leaks in the connections. Tes-
ting should never be done using a
flame.
When the hob has been installed, check
that the burner minimums are properly
adjusted. To do this, light the burners and
check that they do not go out if you switch
quickly from the maximum to the minimum.
Whenever the gas connection nut is remo-
ved, its washer should be changed.
