Before starting any of the devices, connect the gas cylinder (1) (not supplied) to
the system through a reducer (3)
(the valves (5) in the kitchen cupboard
– if present – should be closed at this
time).
After connecting the cylinder and checking for leaks, unscrew the appropriate
valve in the kitchen cupboard (5) depending on which appliance you want to
use.
NOTE !
All gas appliances provided in caravans are designed to burn a mixture of
propane-butane gas at a pressure of 30mbar, that is why the reducer must
be adjusted to such pressure to ensure proper operation of these
appliances.
INSTALLATION OF GAS
Rules for the installation of gas cylinders.
1.
Place the gas cylinder in the special basket inside the container and then
secure it to the container with rubber ties or straps.
2.
If there is a warranty seal on the cylinder valve, remove it by making a slight
cut and tearing it off.
3.
The reducer connection on the valve has a
left-hand thread.
Use a 27mm
wrench to loosen the plastic cap
and turn it
right (clockwise). Tighten the
reducer cap by turning it counterclockwise.
NOTE !
Before removing the plastic nut located on the terminal of the reducer
(on the cylinder valve), check if the cylinder valve is closed.
The connection of the gas cylinder should be performed by a person
holding an appropriate qualification certificate authorising such
operations.

Rules for checking the tightness of the connection.
1. All connections should be checked for leaks each time a cylinder
is connected to the reducer. For this purpose, lubricate the hose
connection points, the valve and the connection between the
valve and the reducer with soapy water or spray it with a soapy
substance and then open the valve. The absence of expanding
gas bubbles indicates that the system is free of leaks.
2.
In the event of leakage of gas from the system
, it is necessary to: -
close the cylinder valve, - extinguish all sources of open flame, - refrain from using
devices causing sparks (electric prong sockets, power switches, radios, TV sets,
etc.), - open doors and
windows to thoroughly ventilate the room (liquid gas is heavier than air and
accumulates in lower parts of the room). In justified cases, notify your vendor - the
gas supplier.
3. In the event of a fire in the room or cylinder
, if possible, turn off the
valve and remove it from the room into the open air. If this is not possible, cool the
cylinder as much as possible using a stream of water or heavy wet rags. The
presence of gas cylinders in the room on fire should be reported to the supervisor
of the firefighting brigade.
NOTE !:
1. It is forbidden to check the system for leaks using a flame.
2. It is not allowed to cover air vents.
3. It is necessary to regularly check the condition of gas hoses and,
when the need arises but always before the expiration date indicated
on the hoses, replace them with new ones, exclusively approved for
use in gas systems.
4. One approved dry powder or ISO 7165 compliant fire extinguisher,
with a capacity of at least 1 kg, and a fire blanket should be located
near kitchen appliances, in the vicinity of the front door. It is
necessary to familiarise yourself with the fire extinguisher manual
and the local fire protection regulations. Fire extinguisher and
blanket not included
5. Never allow unqualified persons to modify LPG systems or
equipment.
