Safety instructions for handling liquid gas bottles
• Gas bottles should be stored outdoors in well-ventilated areas out of the
reach of children. Gas bottles must not be stored in buildings, garages or
other closed areas.
• Gas bottles separated from the device must have permanently installed
threaded valve stoppers and must not be located in buildings, garages or
other closed areas.
• Never use a gas bottle with a damaged housing, valve, collar or stand.
• Dented or rusted gas bottles can be dangerous and should be checked by
your propane supplier before use.

•
Never store gas bottles in places where temperatures above 50 ° C can be
reached.
• Do not store LPG bottles in direct sunlight or near a heat source or source
of combustion.
• Never store gas bottles in a heated car or trunk. The heat increases the
gas pressure, which means that the pressure relief valve opens and gas can
escape.
• Place the dust cap on the outlet of the gas bottle valve when the gas bottle
is not in use. Use only the type of dust cap that came with the gas bottle
valve. Other types of caps or plugs could cause propane gas leakage.
• Never store replacement gas bottles below or near the device.

the total volume with gas.

If the above instructions are not followed exactly, this can lead to property
damage and / or personal injury and death.

country. The outlet pressure of the regulator corresponds to the gas
pressure of the respective country.
