9.4 Connection of gas supply
Always connect in the following sequence:
GAS BOTTLE
→
PRESSURE-REGULATOR
→
→
APPLIANCE.
To connect the pressure regulator to the gas
bottle, the valve of the gas bottle must be closed.
Connect the pressure regulator to the bottle by
screwing firmly. The LPG hose and regulator
must be Australian approved with an outlet
pressure of 2.75 kPa. (Fig. 7)
To connect the appliance to the regulator an
approved flexible gas hose must be used, this
hose should be of a minimum length. Connect
the gas hose to the Pressure Regulator by
screwing, ensure this is a gas tight connection.
When fitting the gas hose from the pressure
regulator to the appliance be sure to use two
spanners one to hold the gas connection at the
back of the appliance D to avoid straining and
possible damage.(Fig. 8)
The gas bottle (Propane) may only be used in an
upright position and particular care must be taken
every time the appliance is connected to the gas bottle
to ensure that there are no leaks, that the tubing
(rubber hose) is not under tension or kinked, and that
it is not in contact with hot surfaces.
The tubing and the gas bottle should always be
located in positions where they will not be tripped
over or otherwise inadvertently disturbed.
Before attempting to light the burner, every time
after connection, turn on the gas at the bottle and
check the gas connections for leaks by applying a
soap and water solution over them and watching for
bubbles, which would indicate a leak.
After testing dry off traces of detergent.
WARNING: DO NOT CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS
USING A NAKED FLAME.
For your safety:
Do not check for leaks with a naked flame! Do not smoke while checking for leaks!
