LEAKAGE TESTING
Warning: Danger of explosions
Never check for gas leakages with a flame or while
smoking.
This appliance needs to be periodically checked for leakages and an immediate
check is required if the smell of gas is detected.
• Make a soap solution using 1 part of liquid dish-washing soap to 3 parts wa-
ter. The soap solution can be applied with a soap bottle, brush, or rag to the
leakage tested points shown in the figure beside.
• The valve of the LPG cylinder should be in the “OFF” position at this point of
the leakage test. Once the soapy solution is applied to the gas connections,
the valve of the LPG cylinder needs to be turned to the “ON” position.
• Soap bubbles will begin to form in the soapy solution if any leakage is pre-
sent.
• In the event of gas leakage, the appliance shall not be used or if alight, the
gas supply shall be shut-off and the appliance shall be investigated and rec-
tified before it is used again. Tighten any leaking fittings, then turn on gas
supply and recheck.
• If necessary, substitute gasket (according to EN 549 Class B2) or material
used to guarantee tightness (according to EN 751-1 Class I).
