Attaching the Gas Supply Hose
• Place the hose clamp onto the hose before attaching the hose.
• Push the hose over the hose nipple until it is fully engaged. Ensure that the hose covers at least 2cm of the
hose nipple.
• Move the hose clamp over the section of the hose covering the hose nipple, and tighten properly.
• Ensure that the switch lever on the appliance is in the “off” position.
• Perform the leak test as set out below.
Testing for Leaks
The leak test must be carried out in a well-ventilated area, free from any flames or other sources of
ignition.
• With the cylinder connected to the appliance, open the cylinder valve.
• Brush the connections (where the gas supply hose connects to the appliance) with a solution of equal
parts dishwashing liquid and water.
• A stream of bubbles forming on the brushed areas indicate a gas leak.
• If bubbles appear, turn the valve off at the gas cylinder and disconnect the appliance from the
gas cylinder.
• Refit the hose and tighten the hose clamp and retry the leak test until no bubbles appear.
• A leak between the appliance and cylinder can lead to a high pressure fire, which is very
dangerous and can result in extensive injury or even death.
• DO NOT use a naked flame to test for leaks.
• DO NOT use the appliance if you are not able to stop any leaks.
