CHANGING A GAS CYLINDER - BUTANE
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.
