equipment near the appliance (e.g.: light switches, power points, mobile phones, pagers,
other appliances)
Allow sufficient time for any accumulated propane gas to disperse

If odour / gas leak persists, turn off the gas supply at the gas cylinder and contact an
authorized service agent.

HOW TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS
To check for leaks, open the gas supply at the bottle with the appliance gas valves in the
OFF position (DO NOT SWITCH APPLIANCE ON) and check for leakage by brushing a
solution of soapy detergent and water onto the connection points at the bottle and the
appliance. If bubbling is evident (it may take more than 30 seconds to appear) this indicates
a gas leak is present. If disassembling, cleaning, reassembling and tightening the connection
does not rectify the leak you should close the gas cylinder valve and consult the place of
purchase for assistance.
Turn on the gas and check for gas leakage at all joints with soapy water or other approved
methods.
