2. Safety information

• The hose and seal on the regulator must be checked for wear or damage before every use
and before connecting to the gas cylinder.
• Ensure the appliance is used away from flammable materials. Minimum safe distances are
1.2m above the appliance and 600mm to the rear and sides of the appliance.
• Do not use an appliance that is damaged, leaking, or which does not operate properly.
• Keep gas cylinders away from heat and flames. Do not place on a stove or any other hot
surface.
• Ensure that the assembled unit is stable and does not rock.
• Do not cover or change the primary air supply openings in the burners as this will affect the
performance of the product and may lead to an unstable flame.
• In the event of burn back, (where the flame burns back and ignites at the jet), immediately
turn off the gas supply by first closing the control valve on the gas cylinder and then
the appliance valve. After the flame is extinguished remove the regulator and check the
condition of its seal. Replace the seal if in doubt. Re-light the appliance as described
in Section 3 below. Should the flame light back persistently return the product to your
authorized CADAC repair agent.
• If there is a leak on your appliance (smell of gas), immediately close the control knob on
the gas cylinder. If you wish to check for leaks on your appliance, do it outside. Do not try
to detect leaks using a flame; use soapy water.
• The correct way is to smear the joints with soapy water. If a bubble or bubbles form then
there is a gas leak. Immediately turn off the gas supply firstly by closing the control valve
on the gas container and then the appliance valve. Check that all the connections are
properly fitted. Re-check with soapy water. If a gas leak persists, return the product to your
CADAC dealer for inspection / repair.
