12.3 Gas bottle replacement
For gas bottle replacement, follow the procedure below:
1) Ensure that the taps of all the gas powered appli-
ances are closed.
2) Close the tap of the bottle to be replaced.
3) Unscrew the nut which fastens the hose to the tap
of the empty bottle.
4) Detach the bottle from the fasteners and remove it
from the bay.
5) Verify the closure of the tap of the bottle to be
installed.
6) Insert it in the bay inside the bottle housing,
fastening it with the specific fasteners.
7) Remove the plastic cap which seals the new bottle.
8) Remove from inside the cap the new seal and
replace the old one at the end of the hose.
9) Manually screw the nut of the hose to the new
bottle, completing fastening by the specific wrench,
in order to ensure seal tightness.
10) Slowly open the tap of the bottle, taking care to
detect any gas leakage (strong smell of gas or
pressure leak noise).

USER’S GUIDE
• Check that the gas bottles are anchored with the
special fastening belts.
• Regularly check that the gas bottle hoses are
properly connected.
• Have an authorised Laika workshop check the
tightness of the gas system yearly.
• Transport the gas bottles only inside the gas
bottle locker.
THINGS TO DO
• Do not obstruct the air grilles of the gas bottle
locker.
• Do not use gas appliances with a different
working pressure.
THINGS TO AVOID
Inspect flexible gas hoses regularly for deterioration
and renew as necessary with the approved type.
Either the expiry date or the production date is
marked on the hoses. If the production date is
indicated, refer to the regulations in force in your
country to determine the expiry date. In any case,
the expiry date of the hoses may vary depending on
the country you are in.
WARNING
Look for any minor leak by means of a soap water
solution (never using flames) using a brush,
spreading such solution on the areas where a leak is
more likely (joints). Bubbles, if any, indicate a leak.
WARNING
When connecting or disconnecting the gas bottle
and during any handling operations of the gas
bottles inside the locker, extreme care must be
taken to avoid damaging, stretching or bending the
flexible hose.
