4.6 Connecting the gas supply line
The appliance is shipped from the factory for use with nat-
ural gas. If you want to use propane gas it must be con-
verted. A qualified technician or installer must do the con-
version.
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 lo-
cal 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 appli-
cable, 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 ma-
chine, hot water pipe, radiator or any other appliance in-
stalled 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 cook-
top in the installation position.
¡ All pipe connections must be sealed in accordance with
local codes.
Connect the metal flex gas line or fixed metal pipe con-

nection from the cooktop pressure regulator to the man-
ual shut-off valve.
Checking the gas line for leaks
Check the gas supply line connections for leaks using a
soap solution or non-corrosive leak detection fluid. Do not
use a flame of any sort.
Note
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 pip-
ing 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).
Turn on gas.

the following problems may occur:
¡ The burner flames are too high.
¡ Flames shoot out of the burners.
¡ The burners do not ignite.
¡ The burner flames light unevenly.
¡ The burners emit gas odor.
