Do not smoke or ignite open flames while changing the gas
cylinders. After changing the gas bottles, check whether
there is any gas escaping from the tie-in point by spraying it
with leak detection spray.
When the hose line is connected to the liquid gas bottle,
ensure that it is free of kinks and not subject to stress.
