Make sure the gas inlet hose is clean and not blocked before connecting the gas.
Always ensure that adequate fresh air is provided for ventilation.
The burner must only be operated on a level, firm non-combustible surface.
This burner shall not be used in a position where it could create a fire hazard and the
minimum clearances to combustible materials must be observed.
A spider web can interfere with the flow of gas / air into the burner. The opening into the
burner directly in front of the gas valve should be checked regularly and cleared with a pipe
cleaner or similar length device.
Do not attempt to repair the burner yourself.
FOR YOUR SAFETY – WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS
Turn off gas supply at bottle immediately and extinguish all naked flames.
Remove the appliance from any potential ignition sources and do not operate any electrical
equipment near the appliance (e.g.: light switches, power points, mobile phones, pagers,
other appliances)
Allow sufficient time for any accumulated propane gas to disperse
Check for damage to seals and hoses and if no damage is visible, ensure fittings are
adequately tight then check for gas leaks using soapy water as detailed in this manual in a
well ventilated area. Do not try to detect leaks using a flame
If odour / gas leak persists, turn off the gas supply at the gas cylinder and contact an
authorized service agent.
HOW TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS
To check for leaks, open the gas supply at the bottle with the appliance gas valves in the
OFF position (DO NOT SWITCH APPLIANCE ON) and check for leakage by brushing a
solution of soapy detergent and water onto the connection points at the bottle and the
appliance. If bubbling is evident (it may take more than 30 seconds to appear) this indicates
a gas leak is present. If disassembling, cleaning, reassembling and tightening the connection
does not rectify the leak you should close the gas cylinder valve and consult the place of
purchase for assistance.
Turn on the gas and check for gas leakage at all joints with soapy water or other approved
methods.
PROCEDURES FOR GAS LEAKAGE

leak:
Immediately turn off the gas supply at the gas bottle;
Turn off all appliances and pilot lights;
Do not allow gas to build up in the area.
Do not use any naked flame or other ignition source (such as light switches, power points,
mobile phones and pagers);

Contact your licensed gas fitter to repair the leak and re-light the appliance.
