When gas appliances are switched on where the operating knob has to
be pressed in for ignition (e.g. gas cooker), this has to spring back by
itself when it is released.
Propane gas is capable of gasification up to -42 °C, whereas butane gas
gasifies at 0 °C. Below these temperatures no gas pressure is available.
Butane gas is unsuitable for use in winter.
Regularly inspect the gas tube fitted to the gas bottle connection for
tightness. The gas tube must not have any tears and must not be
porous. Have the gas tube replaced by an authorised specialist work-
shop no later than 10 years after the manufacturing date. The operator
of the gas system must see to it that the parts are replaced.
Due to its function and construction, the gas bottle compartment is a
space which is open to the exterior. Never cover or block the standard
forced ventilation. Otherwise leaking gas cannot be dispersed to the out-
side.
Do not use the gas bottle compartment as storage space as it is not
moisture-proof.
Secure the gas bottle compartment in order to prevent unauthorised per-
sons opening it. To do so lock the access.
The regulator tap on the gas bottle must be accessible.
Only connect gas-operated devices (e.g. gas grill) which have been
designed for a gas pressure of 30 mbar.
The exhaust gas pipe must be fitted tightly to the heating system and to
the vent and must be sealed. The exhaust gas pipe must not show any
evidence of damage.
Exhaust fumes must be able to escape into the atmosphere unhindered
and fresh air must be able to enter unhindered. Therefore keep the
waste gas vents and intake openings clean and free (e.g. of snow and
ice). No snow walls or aprons may be allowed to lie against the vehicle.
The exhaust gas system of the gas heater must be routed along its entire
length and must be mounted firmly with clamps (if necessary with
exhaust gas supports).
Faults can occur when igniting gas at altitudes exceeding 1.000 m above
sea level. This is not a malfunction of the appliance.
