Teflon tape to assemble Edelmetall burner?

I just received my new burner! I am wondering if I should use Teflon tape on the connections for the hose? Unfortunately, the instructions were sort of torn up in the box when I received it so I am not sure if this is recommended.

The instruction sheet doesn’t call for it but I can’t see where it would do any harm. I use old fashion pipe dope on fittings but nothing wrong with Teflon.
