Is there frost/ice on the outside of the LPG cylinder?
The universal liquefied petroleum gas in the cylinder turns to
vapour too slowly to supply the burners with gas . This is due to
the air temperature cooling the LPG cylinder, which slows the
vapourization process . Turn off burner control knobs and the LPG
cylinder . Replace with a spare LPG cylinder and resume cooking .
