Danger "Gas displaces oxygen"
Liquid gas is heavier than oxygen. Therefore, it settles on the ground, displacing the oxygen
at that level.
Possible consequences:
• Suffocation resulting from a lack of oxygen if the gas builds up to a certain concentra-
tion.
Safety measures:
• Only use the barbecue outdoors in a well ventilated area and above ground (i.e. not in
areas that are below ground level).
• Close the valve on the gas bottle immediately after each use (turn the bottle valve clo-
ckwise).
• Never leave the hot barbecue unattended. If the flame extinguishes, relight it immedia-
tely or cut off the supply from the gas cylinder.
• Before each use check to ensure that all of the connections through which gas is supplied
are sealed and intact. Even the smallest leaks can be dangerous.
If necessary, replace the hose in order to comply with the corresponding national re-
quirements.
The barbecue must not be used if the connections for the gas supply are porous or faul-
ty.
If the heater is not going to be used for a prolonged period, disconnect the supply from
the gas cylinder and store it properly:
– Fit the gas cylinder valve with a cap nut and safety cap.
– Do not store the gas cylinder in areas below ground level, in or near stairways, hall-
ways or passages and throughfare between buildings.
– Always store gas cylinders upright, even if they are empty!
