1.4 Safe use
WARNING ‒ Risk of explosion!
Escaping gas may cause an explosion. WHAT
TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS OR IF THERE
ARE FAULTS IN THE GAS INSTALLATION
▶
Immediately shut off the gas supply or
close the gas cylinder valve.
▶
Immediately extinguish all naked flames
and cigarettes.
▶
Do not operate any light switches or appli-
ance switches.
▶
Do not pull any plugs out of any sockets.
▶
Do not use any telephones or mobile
phones within the building.
▶
Open windows and ventilate the room.
▶
Call the after sales service or the gas sup-
plier.
Escaping gas may cause an explosion. Small
amounts of gas can collect over a longer
period of time and ignite.
▶
Close the safety valve for the gas supply
when the appliance is out of use for pro-
longed periods.
Escaping gas may cause an explosion. If the
liquefied gas bottle is not upright, liquefied
propane/butane can enter the appliance. In-
tense darting flames may therefore escape
from the burners. Components may become
damaged and start to leak over time so that
gas escapes uncontrollably.
▶
Always use liquefied gas bottles in an up-
right position.
