Connection To The Gas Supply - Franke PAC 5 GAV-MTC Gebrauchs- Und Instandhaltungsanleitung

Connection to the gas supply

Check that the appliance is suited to the gas type before connecting it to the gas supply in conformance with
current legislation.
If this is not the case, carry out the operations described in the paragraph on "replacing injectors" (page 13).
For a liquid gas supply use pressure regulators which comply with current legislation.

Ventilation of installation area
Make sure that the room where the appliance is installed has permanent ventilation openings on an
outside wall or ventilation ducts, in order to ensure adequate air flow as prescribed by current legislation.
All openings must:
1. have a minimum working section of 100 cm
2. be made in such a way as prevents them being blocked in any manner, from inside or outside;
3. be provided with suitable protection to ensure the size of the ventilation opening is not reduced;
4. be positioned at such a height from floor level as not to interfere with the discharge of combustion fumes.
If openings are made in the wall of an adjacent room, the latter must have direct ventilation and must not be:
1. a bedroom;
2. a common area of the building in question;
3. a fire hazard area.
Before testing and inspecting the appliance check that the adjacent room, which shares the wall in which
the ventilation opening has been made, does not have low pressure due to another user; moreover,
ensure adequate air flow between the two rooms is guaranteed by permanent, unobstructed openings,
for example by increasing the gap between the bottom of the door and the floor. Discharge of combustion
products must be guaranteed by means of a hood which, in turn, must be connected to a chimney, a flue,
or directly to the outside.
Access to the hob
To access the junction box containing the functional components, proceed as follows:
• remove the panstand grids, burner caps and flame-spreader crowns;
• remove the control knobs, sliding them off their shafts;
• remove the screws that fix the burners to the hob;
• lift the hob up.
12
Connection to the gas supply may be made in two ways:
A Connect the gas hob using a 12 mm diameter rigid copper pipe, as
steel hose
shown in fig. 2. To prevent any risk of leaks, use the rubber gasket
flexible
supplied.
B Connect the hob using a continuous-surface steel hose. Once again,
in this case, prevent any risk of leaks by using the gasket supplied.
Note that installation must be carried out in compliance with current
regulations pertaining to gas installations.
Having completed the connection to the gas supply, use soapy water
to check the connection for leaks.
