2. Fitting and Changing the Gas Supply
Connecting the gas supply
•
Before connecting the appliance to a gas supply, ensure that the rubber seal on the regulator is in position and in good condition.
•
Before connecting the hose and regulator to the appliance, check that the appliance control knob (K) is in the "OFF" position ("•" - turn
fully clockwise).
•
Carry out this check each time you fit the appliance to a gas cylinder.
•
Blow out any dust from the gas supply opening to prevent possible blockage of the jet.
•
NOTE! When installing the tailpiece, ensure it is held straight while tightening the tailpiece nut, in order to prevent a possible gas leak. Tighten
with a suitable spanner or hand wheel.
•
Fit an approved hose and regulator to the appliance.
•
Ensure that the gas supply (gas cylinder/gas cartridge) is fitted in a well-ventilated location away from any source of ignition, such as naked
flames and away from other people.
•
Do not twist or pinch the hose. Ensure that it is routed away from the stove body so as to prevent deterioration / damage to the hose
caused by heat.
•
Make sure that the gas cylinder is kept upright at all times, connect to the cylinder by screwing on hand tight until fully engaged.
•
Ensure that a complete gas seal has been made (check for the smell of gas around the connection joint). Do not check for leaks with a naked
flame. Use warm soapy water only, applied to the joints and connections of the appliance. Any leakage will show up as bubbles around the
leakage area.
•
If you cannot rectify the gas leak do not use the appliance. If you are in doubt, contact your nearest stockist.
Disconnecting and changing the gas supply
•
After use, turn the appliance control knob to the "OFF" position and close the gas supply.
•
When you need to replace your empty cylinder, make sure that the gas is closed at the cylinder valve.
•
Do not smoke while changing the cylinder.
•
Remove the regulator from the empty cylinder.
•
Attach the regulator to the full cylinder, refer to the instructions above on how to connect the gas supply.
•
Apply the same care and checking procedures as if fitting a new gas cylinder.
How to check if your gas cylinder is empty
•
The easiest way to check if you are low on gas is by picking up your gas cylinder.
•
If you think your gas cylinder is feeling a little lighter than you'd like, weighing the bottle is a great way to see how much gas is left. Most
cylinders will have the empty weight stamped on either the neck or foot ring, and if the weight indicated on the stamp and the weight of your
cylinder are the same, you're out of gas. You can then approximate the amount of gas you have left by the difference in weight.
• Assemble the tripod stand as per figure 2a and 2b.
