• Keep children away from the appliance.
• Keep the appliance away from flammable materials e.g.
Clothes, curtains, upholstery, etc.
• Always change the gas cylinder outdoors and away from
any sources of ignition.
• In the event of a burn back (where the flame burns back to
the jet) immediately turn off the gas supply at the cylinder
control valve. After ensuring that the flame is extinguished,
re-light the appliance as described below. Should the
appliance again burn back, close the valve and return
the appliance to the your local LPG Service Agent for
examination.
• If there is an apparent gas leak on the appliance e.g. smell
of gas, close the valve on the cylinder. Take the complete
assembly outside into a flame free environment and test for
the suspected leak as described below.
• Do not check for gas leaks with a flame as this
is extremely dangerous!
• To check for a gas leak, light the appliance and use a
brush dipped in a soapy water solution (e.g. water with
dish washing liquid added). Apply the brush to the suspect
areas such as the cylinder valve spindle or where the
regulator screws into the cylinder. Also check the joins
between the hose and regulator and between the hose
and appliance. If there is a leak then bubbles will form.
Should this happen, turn off the gas supply at the cylinder
valve.
Inspect the condition of the seal fitted on the regulator and
ensure that it is in good condition. Refit the appliance to
the cylinder and re-test using the soapy water solution.
If the leak persists then take the appliance and the cylinder
to your local LPG Service Agent for inspection and / or
repair.
