CHANGING A GAS CYLINDER - BUTANE
4
This appliance may be used with butane at an operating pressure of 28 - 30 mbar.
NEVER
use an unregulated gas supply or a regulator for other operating pressures.
WARNING:
Changing a cylinder must be carried out in a flame free environment.
BUTANE cylinders have various types of connections
a) Screw-On Connection.
The most important part is the
black sealing washer. Always
check that it is present and not
damaged when changing
cylinders. Some screw on
connections have a hand wheel
to tighten and some require a
spanner to tighten. Tighten
firmly (left hand thread). When
using a spanner, do not over
tighten as this can damage the
washer.
b) Switch-On Connection.
No tools are required for this
type. On/Off control of the gas
supply is provided by a switch on
the Regulator or on a special
adapter. If you use an adapter
with an old type threaded
regulator, please ensure that the
union nut is tightened firmly to the
adapter with a spanner.
