Gas hose & regulator information
Before each use, check if hoses are cut or worn. Make sure
it is not bent or kinked. Make sure the hose does not contact
any warm surface while the appliance is in use. Replace
damaged hoses immediately.
∙
Only use EN certified hose assemblies and pressure regu-
lators with this appliance. The length must not exceed 1.5
meters.
∙
If the pressure regulator is not supplied with the appliance,
use only certified pressure regulators that comply with
EN 12864 (flow rate of max. 1.5 kg/h) and wich are ap-
proved for your country and gas as specified in the techni-
cal data.
Gas cylinder information
∙
Liquid propane gas is a gas at regular temperatures and
pressures. Inside the gas cylinder, propane gas is a liquid.
As the pressure is released, the liquid readily vaporizes and
becomes gas.
∙
Liquid propane gas has an odour similar to natural gas. You
should be aware of this odour.
∙
Liquid propane gas is heavier than air. Leaking liquid pro-
pane gas may collect in low areas and prevent dispersion.
∙
The gas cylinder must be installed, transported, and stored
in an upright position and out of the reach of children. Gas
cylinders should not be dropped or handled roughly.
∙
Never store or transport a gas cylinder where tempera-
tures can reach 50° C, so e.g. do not leave the gas cylinder
in a car on a hot day.
∙
Treat empty gas cylinders with the same care as when full.
Even when the gas cylinder is empty of liquid, there still
may be gas pressure in the gas cylinder. Always close the
cylinder valve before disconnecting.
∙
If you see, smell or hear the hiss of escaping gas from the
gas cylinder while its valve is tightly closed:
1. Move away from the liquid propane cylinder.
2. Do not attempt to correct the problem yourself.
3. Call your fire department.
Gas cylinder replacement
If the gas cylinder is empty and must be replaced or a full
gas cylinder must be relocated, make sure to follow these
instructions:
∙
Do not use a damaged gas cylinder. A dented or rusty gas
cylinder or a gas cylinder with a damaged valve may be
hazardous and should be replaced with a new one immedi-
ately.
∙
The gas cylinder cannot be placed inside or under the ap-
pliance! Always place the gas cylinder on the side or rear of
the appliance.
∙
Be sure the pressure regulator is mounted with the small
vent hole pointed downward so that it will not collect water.
This vent should be free of dirt, grease, bugs, etc.
∙
The joint where the hose connects to the gas cylinder must
be leak tested every time the gas cylinder is changed or
reconnected.
WARNING
It is recommended to replace the pressure regulator
and hose assembly every 5 years. In some countries
it is prescribed that the pressure regulator and hose
assembly must be replaced in less than 5 years. These
national regulations prevail.
Contact your Hornbach store for a replacement pressure
regulator and hose assembly.
Leak test
Leak test the appliance before first use and every time the
gas cylinder is changed or reconnected:
1. Set all control knobs to
0
/ off.
2. Make sure the pressure regulator is tightly connected to
the gas cylinder and the gas hose is tightly connected to
the appliance and the pressure regulator.
3. Open the gas valve of the gas cylinder. If you see, smell
or hear the hiss of escaping gas from the gas cylinder,
close the gas valve of the gas cylinder immediately. There
is a major leak at the connection. Check all connections
before proceeding.
4. If you cannot see, smell or hear gas escaping, apply leak
detector spray on all connections of the gas system.
5. If growing bubbles appear, there is a leaking connection.
Close the gas valve of the gas cylinder immediately and
check the tightness of this connection. Repeat the above
procedure.
If the leak cannot be stopped do not try to repair. Visit
your Hornbach store and ask for assitance.
6. If no bubbles appear the gas system is ready for use.
Make sure to always close the gas valve of the gas cylin-
der after each use or leak test.
