CHECKING FOR GAS LEAKS

7.1 Why check for gas leaks?

Propane and butane are heavier than air. As a result, they do not
float away when leaking from the appliance. Especially on
windless days, a leak can cause the gas to collect in and around
the appliance. That accumulated gas can then ignite and
explode.

7.2 When check for gas leaks?

Before the first use or before the first use after a long period
•

Also check for gas leaks if your appliance was assembled
1
by your dealer.
Each time you replace a gas component.
•
At least once a year, preferably at the beginning of the
