How to Properly Install My Alfa Gas Oven?

Learn how to safely install your Alfa gas oven, connect the gas line, and ensure optimal performance. Step-by-step guide with safety tips.

Proper installation of your Alfa gas oven is essential to ensure safety and optimal performance. Follow this step-by-step guide for a safe and compliant setup.

📌 Check your user manual for specific installation requirements for your oven model

 

🔹 1. Choosing the Ideal Location

✔️ Stable and Fireproof Surface:

  • The oven must be placed on a flat, stable, and heat-resistant surface.
  • IMPORTANT: The oven must always rest on the provided feet to allow proper air circulation underneath and prevent overheating.

✔️ Safety Distances:
To ensure proper ventilation and safety, maintain these minimum clearances:
📏 At least 20 cm (8 in) from walls or other appliances.
📏 At least 50 cm (20 in) around the chimney.
📏 At least 1 meter (40 in) above the oven for proper air circulation.

📌 Tip: If installing under a pergola or canopy, the chimney must extend at least 1 meter (40 in) above the structure to ensure proper smoke ventilation.

 

🔹 2. Connecting to the Gas Network or Propane Tank

✔️ Check Your Gas Type:

  • The oven must be configured for the correct gas type (Propane - LPG or Natural Gas - NG).
  • If necessary, use the Alfa Gas Conversion Kit to switch between LPG and Natural Gas.

✔️ Use the Correct Gas Regulator:

  • Refer to the user manual to check the recommended pressure regulator.
  • You can purchase the official Alfa Gas Connector for a secure connection.

✔️ Connecting the Gas Hose:

  • Attach the gas hose securely to both the oven and the propane tank or gas line.
  • Avoid bending or pinching the hose, which can restrict gas flow.
  • Use suitable gaskets or PTFE gas tape to seal threaded connections.

✔️ Special Considerations for Natural Gas (NG) Connections:

  • If connecting to a domestic gas line, check if other appliances (e.g., boilers, water heaters, cooktops) are on the same circuit.
  • If the gas supply is shared with a boiler, the gas flow to the oven may be reduced, affecting performance.
  • A gas technician may need to adjust the system or install a pressure reducer to ensure consistent gas supply.

🔹 3. Checking for Gas Leaks ✅

✔️ Gas Leak Test:
1️⃣ Apply soapy water solution to all gas connections.
2️⃣ Turn on the gas supply and check for bubbles:

  • No bubbles = No leak ✅
  • Bubbles forming = Gas leak detected ❌
    3️⃣ If you find a leak:
  • Tighten the fittings and repeat the test.
  • If the issue persists, contact a technician immediately.

✔️ Inspect the Gas Hose:

  • Ensure the hose is in good condition, free from cracks or wear.

🔹 4. First Ignition of the Oven 🔥

✔️ Follow these steps for ignition:
1️⃣ Open the gas valve.
2️⃣ Press the ignition button and turn the burner knob to the correct position.
3️⃣ Adjust the flame to reach the desired temperature.

📌 IMPORTANT:

  • If the oven does not ignite on the first attempt, wait a few seconds before trying again.
  • Make sure the gas supply is fully open and there are no obstructions in the gas hose.

✔️ First-time ignition after installation:

  • After connecting a new propane tank or gas line, the system may contain air.
  • You may need to hold the gas knob for a few minutes to allow gas to replace the air inside the pipeline.
  • If the oven does not ignite immediately, repeat the process while holding the knob longer.

🔹 5. Safety & Maintenance 🔒

✔️ Safety Precautions:

  • Always close the gas valve when the oven is not in use.
  • Do not leave the oven unattended while it is running.
  • Avoid using the oven in strong wind conditions, as this may cause flame instability.

✔️ Routine Maintenance:

  • Inspect the gas hose and regulator annually for wear or leaks.
  • Regularly clean the burner to ensure efficient operation.
  • Check the chimney for blockages to maintain proper smoke ventilation.

📌 Tip: For a safe and compliant installation, always have a qualified technician handle the gas connection.
