Set the control button to OFF.
Make a soapy solution using one part liquid soap to one part water.
Apply the soap solution to the whole system, particularly the connections, using a spray bottle, brush
or cloth.
Open the gas supply. If there is a leak, you will
see soap bubbles forming.
If there is a leak, turn off the gas supply. Tighten
the leaking component, switch on the gas supply
and check it again. If bubbles are still created,
contact your supplier.
Make sure that there are no flames or sparks in
the vicinity when you are carrying out the leak
test and do not smoke!
If the gas hose signs of cracks, tears or other
damage exhibits, it must be replaced by a new
pipe or a hose of the same length and
equivalent quality. Replace it at least every 3
years. To do this, use open-ended spanner no. 17: you need 2 on the burner side. After exchanging,
perform a gas leakage check.
GAS ODOUR
An odour is added to gas to ensure that leaks can be detected. Gas is heavier than air; try to detect the
odour just above ground level!
Take immediate measures if you smell gas!
Immediately shut the gas supply.
Do not do anything that could lead to fire or a spark being created; this could ignite the gas. Do not
switch any electrical components on or off, do not use matches or lighters and do not use your
telephone.
Keep everyone away from the source of gas and allow plenty of time for it to dissipate. Stay out of the
area during this process! If you continue to smell gas or are not sure of the situation, always call the
fire services.
Always have gas leaks repaired by professionals!
