LEAK TESTING
NEVER USE A NAKED FLAME TO CHECK FOR LEAKS.
NEVER LEAK TEST WHILE SMOKING.
The gas connections on this appliance are leak tested at the factory prior to
shipment.
This appliance needs to be periodically checked for leaks and an immediate
check is required if the smell of gas is detected.
•
Make a soap solution using 1 part of washing up liquid to 3 parts water.
The soap solution can be applied with a soap bottle, brush, or rag to the
leak tested points shown in the figure above.
•
The valve of the gas cylinder should be in the
OFF
position at this point
of the leak test. Once the soapy solution is applied to the gas
connections, the valve of the gas cylinder needs to be turned to the
ON
position.
•
Soap bubbles will begin to form in the soapy solution if a leak is present.
•
In case of a leak, turn off the gas supply. Tighten any leaking fittings,
then turn the gas supply on and recheck.
GAS REQUIREMENTS
•
The regulator and hose assembly to be used must conform to local requirements.
•
Never use a gas cylinder with a damaged body, valve, collar, or foot ring. A dented or rusty gas cylinder may be
hazardous and should be checked by a gas supplier.
•
Never connect this appliance to an unregulated gas source.
•
When the appliance is not in use, turn the gas cylinder OFF, before disconnecting the gas bottle.
•
Always perform a leak test on gas connections whenever a cylinder is connected. If bubbles form in the leak test
solution, do not use. Never use a flame to test for leaks.
CONNECTING TO A GAS CYLINDER
•
Use a 9 kg gas cylinder.
Please refer to your gas supplier for suitable gas cylinder.
•
Refer to your gas supplier for instructions on the use of your gas cylinder.
•
Only change gas cylinders outdoors or in well-ventilated areas away from naked flames and any other source of
ignition.
•
The gas cylinder must always be used in an upright position.
•
Ensure the control dial on the appliance is in the OFF position.
•
Ensure the regulator is in the OFF position before connecting to the gas cylinder.
•
Tighten all connections firmly and with a spanner where appropriate. The cylinder should be located in the base of
the unit.
