Safety instruction regarding the use of the gas cylinders.
•
Use only the type of gas and pressure specified by the manufacturer.
•
The minimum distance between the appliance and the gas cylinder for appliances without cylinder housing.
•
Change the gas cylinder in a amply ventilated area, away from any ignition source (candle, cigarettes, other
flame producing appliances).
•
Do not obstruct the ventilation holes of the cylinder housing.
•
In the event of gas leakage, the appliance shall not be used or if alight, the gas supply shall be shut off and the
appliance shall be investigated and rectified before it is used again.
•
The gas cylinders should always be placed in a vertical position
–
during use and transport.
•
Always store the gas cylinder in an easily accessible place to allow its immediate turn-off.
•
During the installation process do not allow an open flame or any ignited object to reach the gas cylinder.
•
The gas cylinder should be in a distance not shorter than 1,5 metres away from the Gustav fireplace.
•
Leaks should be found with the use of a cleaning liquid and water. If bubbles form on the surface that means
that a there’s an existing leak.
•
Always use a pressure regulator between the gas bottle and the device. Replace the pressure regulator every
5 years. The allowed pressures are: 30mbar, 37mbar (recommended), 50 mbar. Use only regulators complying
with the European EN16129 Norm.
•
Use only approved and certified gas connection linkage. Replace the linkage every 2 years.
•
Check the flexible hose at least once per month and each time the cylinder is changed. If it shows signs of
cracking, splitting or other deterioration it shall be exchanged for new hose of the same length and of the
equivalent quality.
•
Do not connect the gas cylinder directly to the appliance without regulator.
•
The tubing or the flexible hose must be changed within the prescribed intervals.
•
Use only the type of gas and the type of cylinder specified in these instructions.
•
The elastic linkage connecting gas to the fireplace is to be led away from sharp edges and hot surfaces. Refrain
from bends and twists of the elastic connection on its full length.
•
Remember that the LPG bottle should be stored in a well-ventilated place. LPG gas is heavier than air and its
accumulation near the bottom surface may generate an explosive mixture.
•
The gas cylinder needs to be shut if the fireplace is not being used.
•
Filling the gas cylinders is to be commissioned to certified gas filling stations.
•
Replacement of empty cylinders for full ones is to be conducted only in authorised locations.
