THINGS YOU SHOULD BE CAREFUL ABOUT
• Use the Hobtop for cooking only. Do not dry towels, clothes etc. over it.
• Always use liquefied petroleum (LP) gas that comes in a cylinder that can be attached to the
hobtop.
• To connect the hobtop to the cylinder, use ISI marked, good quality tubing only. Do not use a
vinyl plastic tube, as this is dangerous.
• Always check the rubber tube for any wear and tear to avoid gas leak and prevent danger.
Avoid keeping inflammables near the hobtop.
• When in use, do not touch the pan supports of the hobtop to avoid burns as it will be hot.
• Never apply excessive pressure to the gas control knobs. Do not tamper with the knob.
• Clean the burners regularly so that they don’t get clogged. Do not use abrasive materials for
cleaning.
• Turn both the gas control knobs and the regulator off, i.e, after cooking is over or, when going
to bed or leaving the house.
• If you trace gas leakage, close the gas regulator of the cylinder, open up all windows and call your
gas supply agent. Do not switch on any electric light / appliances or light matches/lighter etc.
• The cylinder should not be tilted horizontally when in use.
• Make sure the hobtop is in a position where no person needs to reach over the burner for things
placed on the far side. This avoids the chance of getting burnt by the flame.
• Keep the gas hobtop out of reach of children
.
• Ensure that no appliances working on electricity or any other fuel are installed within a distance
of 1 metre from the LPG installation (hobtop, tubing, regulator and cylinder).
