SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Do not use this appliance if it is leaking gas. (See notes below).
If there is an apparent gas leak (smell of gas), close the control valve on the
appliance.
Make sure that there are no naked flames within 5-meters of the appliance and
check for leaks as described below.
Never check for gas leaks with a naked flame as this is extremely dangerous!
To check for a gas leak, use a brush dipped in a soapy water solution (e.g. water
with a dishwashing detergent added) and apply the solution to all the joints of
the system. If there is leak, turn off the gas supply at the isolation valve, which
the installer will provide as part of the installation. Call a service technician to
examine the appliance and do not use the appliance until the service technician
has declared that it is safe to do so.
Should you suspect a leak at the cylinder connections (outside the building)
apply the soapy water solution to the visible joints, such where the regulator
fits into the cylinder, or where the regulator fits into the flexible hose, or the
joints on the manifold, if fitted. Bubbles will form should there be a leak. If you
are unable to stop a leak at this point, turn off the cylinder valve/valves and
call a service technician to correct the fault. As with leaks inside the building,
do not use the appliance until a service technician as declared that it is safe to
do so.
Ensure that the appliance is used away from flammable materials. If installing
in an open area without a firebox, ensure that the surrounding area is clear of
any flammable material for a minimum of 1 meter all-round the appliance.
Keep young children away from the appliance when in use.
