Replacement of a cylinder
Make sure that:
- All the taps of the user appliance are closed.
- The opening knob of the regulator is in the closed position (by turning it a half
turn until the stop the red flame is not visible, “OFF”). Afterwards, remove the
regulator by pulling the ring (5) as shown in figure 6.
NOTE: It is not possible to pull the ring until the knob is in the horizontal position
and the marking “OFF” is not visible. This is an important security feature. The
user must not try to pull the regulator ring if the knob is not in the “OFF” position.
Please contact your gas supplier if you have any problem.
Gas leaks
All gas leaks, however small, are dangerous and must be eliminated. Escaping
gas can normally be traced by smell or sound but liquid detergent should be
brushed over the area to confirm the location of the leak. NEVER look for a leak
with a naked flame.
On cylinders, if a leak is suspected, turn off gas supply immediately, and
extinguish any standing pilot lights or naked flames. Ventilate the room if
possible. If the cylinder is indoors, move the cylinder outdoors to a safe place,
and call your dealer for advice.
Excess flow valve (EFV)
The regulator can be equipped with a safety device “excess flow valve” designed to stop gas escaping in
case of accidental detachment or breakage of the rubber hose used to supply gas to the user appliance.
The marking “EFV” on the label (1) shows the presence of this device on the regulator.
The flow limiting device should operate as follows:
1. In the event of the hose moving from its correct position:
-Close the regulator knob,
- Fit the hose correctly back on the regulator hose connection.
-Open the regulator knob,
-Wait at least 20 seconds before opening the regulator again.
2. In case of the flow of gas being higher than the capacity of the regulator, contact your gas supplier.
Maximum residential flow: 60 g/h.
NOTE: The excess flow valve may close if the gas cylinder is moved during use. To ensure correct
operation of the flow limiting device during gas supply, the appliances hose length should be 1.5m at
maximum.
In normal conditions of use, in order to ensure the correct operation of the of the installation, it is
recommended that this regulator is changed within 10 years of the date of manufacture
IMPORTANT: Never leave the regulator connected to the cylinder valve when the rubber hose is not
correctly fitted in its housing as the flow limiting device has not been designed to guarantee the gas supply
shut off function. The product must never be tampered with or dismantled; any such procedures lead to
forfeiture of warranty cover on the product and the manufacture declines all consequent responsibility.

Emergency advice
If you suspect a leak, turn off the gas, open all the doors and windows and ensure there is no source of
ignition nearby i.e., extinguish any cigarettes and switch off your mobile phone.
Examine all hoses and connections. If the leak is not located, turn on the gas supply and brush over the
connections with liquid detection fluid or a soapy water solution
– it will bubble where there is a leak.
NEVER USE A NAKED FLAME to search for a leak. LPG has an odorant added to help with the detection
of leaks.
In the Event of Fire,
immediately raise the alarm and call the Fire Brigade advising them of the presence of
LPG.
Turn off the regulator on the cylinder by turning the control knob clockwise.
Keep cylinders cool by water spray if possible.
Ring local Emergency Service number.
