2.1
Safety instruction regarding the use of the gas cylinders.
•
Use only the type of gas and pressure specified by the manufacturer.
•
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 Rio fireplace or in
accordance to local regulations.
•
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.
•
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 housing in which the LPG bottle is (optionally) placed needs to have an appropriate ventilation. The
housing needs to have an upper ventilation slot above the top of the bottle (of an area min 1/100 of the area
of the base of the housing) and a lower ventilation slot (of an area min 1/50 of the area of the base of the
housing).
•
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
