Safety instructions for the use of gas cylinder
•
Use only the type of gas and pressure specified on the label by the manufacturer.
•
Gas cylinders should always be in an upright position - both during use and transport.
•
A storage of the gas cylinder should be located in a place easily accessible to allow its immediate closure.
•
During installation, never approach the gas flame or any other source of fire.
•
Gas cylinder should not be closer than 1.5 m from the fireplace VALENTINO.
•
Any leaks should be located using a mixture of water and foaming cleaning fluid. The resulting air bubbles
indicate a leak.
•
Always use a pressure reducer between the cylinder and the device. Replace pressure regulator at least every
5 years. Permissible pressure: 30mbar, 37mbar (recommended), 50 mbar. Use only regulators that meet the
requirements of European Standard EN16129.
•
Use only approved and certified cables connecting gas (flexible hose). Replace them at least every 2 years.
•
Flexible hose supplying gas to the unit should be located away from sharp edges and hot surfaces. Avoid bends
and twists of flexible connections along the whole length.
•
Note that the gas cylinder LPG should be installed in well-ventilated areas. LPG gas is heavier than air and its
accumulation on the substrate can lead to the formation of explosive mixtures.
•
Optional housing, which cylinder of LPG will be placed at, must have adequate ventilation. It must have an
upper ventilation opening above the top of the cylinder (with min 1/100 base surface of the installation) and
a lower vent opening at its base (with min 1/50 base surface of the installation).
•
Turn off gas cylinder, if the device is not in use.
•
Filling the gas cylinders should only be done at certified gas filling stations.
•
Exchange of empty bottles for full should take place only at authorized points.
