Note: Inspect flexible gas hose(s) regularly
for deterioration and renew as necessary with
the approved type, in any case no later than 5
years after the date of manufacture marked
on the hose.
Do’s and Don’ts
• Do
treat a cylinder with care to ensure that the
valve is not damaged. A damaged valve could
result in a leak.
• Do use a cylinder upright. If used horizontally
liquid gas could get into the supply pipes with
serious consequences.
• Don’t attempt to disconnect a regulator from
a switch-on valve (15kg and 7kg cylinders) if
the flame does not go out when the regulator
switch is turned off. Leave the appliance alight
and call your Gas Supplier or Park Manager.
• Don’t subject a cylinder to heat, because the
pressure inside the cylinder could build up to a
point beyond the designed safety limit.
• Don’t store or use cylinders below ground
level, because LPG is heavier than air. If there
is a leak, the gas will collect at low level and
become dangerous in the presence of a spark
or flame.
• Don’t store or use propane cylinders (red)
indoors. It is contained under higher pressure
and should only be kept outdoors.
WARNING: Never block ventilation grills or
gas drop holes
All appliances are fitted in accordance with
specification laid down by each manufacturer

of the installation and given their approvals.
Most of the branded appliances carry their
own warranty and after sales support. In the
event of either being required, please follow
the directions of the warranty or consult your
own supplying dealer. Surfaces of appliances
become hot in use. Any guards provided may
not give full protection to the young or elderly.
5.6 Gas safety
WARNING: Never use a naked flame when
checking for leaks.
Gas cylinder valves are of various designs
depending on the type of cylinder and the use
for which it is intended and it is essential that
the correct pressure regulator with the correct
pressure setting and capacity for the installation
is used in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions.
In the case of a connection on a pressure
regulator or gas appliance which relies upon a
sealing washer(s) to maintain a gas tight joint, it
is essential to check that the washer is present,
sound and correctly positioned prior to making
the connection. Where the connection relies
on a metal seating or bull nose connection to
obtain a gas tight joint it is essential that the
mating surfaces are clean and undamaged. In
no case should a damaged valve or connection
be used.
Where connections are designed to be
tightened with a spanner it is essential that a
spanner of the correct size is used and that
the union is firmly tightened (hand tightness
is not sufficient). When self-sealing valves are
incorporated in a gas cylinder, connections
should be made in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions and tools should
not be used.
