The gas connection between the hob and the
mains gas pipe must be in accordance with
the basic regulations for gas installations in
homes.
T E K A will not accept responsability for faults
or damage caused by incorrect or defective
instalation.
Once the gas connetion has been made the
a i rtightness of the installation mus be chec-
ked. If the check is made using air, the testing
pressure must be no greater than 200 g/cm
2
.
To avoid causing damage to the hob during
installation when tightenig the gas pipe con-
nection nut, a maximum grip torque of 350
kg.f.cm must be used.
After installing the hob, check that the bur-
ners’ minimum settings are well regulated. To
do this, light the burners and check that they
do not go out when brusquely turned fro m
maximum to minimum.
Do not connect the hob burners with town gas
whose composition contains carbon monoxi-
de, except in models which incorporate a
safety device.
Each time the gas connection nut is re m o v e d
the washer must be replaced.
(Only for cookers with automatic ignition or
with electric hotplates).
First of all it must be checked that the mains
voltage is the same as that indicated on the
appliance’s rating plate.
The connection must be made through an
omnipolar cut-off switch with a distance of at
least 3 mm between the contacts, assuring
disconnection in cases of emergency or for
the cleaning of the hob. It must also be pro v i-
ded with the correct earth connection in accor-
dance with the applicable regulations.
In the event that it were necessary to re p l a c e
the electrical cable of these appliances, this
should be done by official TEKA technicians as
specific tools are required.
