8. Liquid gas operation

Do not use any additional form of energy (mains/battery). The unit must not
be connected to town or natural gas pipelines. It is only suitable for use with
propane/butane gas (e.g. Calor Gas, Camping Gaz, Caravangas, etc).
The specified gas-connection pressure is given in mbar on the type plate
(see back of appliance). It is important that a non adjustable pressure-
regulator is used to reduce the pressure in the gas cylinder to the operating
pressure specified on the rating-plate, no other pressure may be used.
Needle valve operated gas control taps are NOT suitable for use with
this appliance and must not be used as a substitute for a pressure
regulator.

GAS BOTTLE PRESSURE-REGULATOR APPLIANCE.
To connect the appliance to the pressure-regulator an APPROVED GAS
TUBING should be used. This should be minimum in length - have an inside
dimension of 8mm and be marked BS3212/2/8.
The pressure-regulator must be compatible for Butane 11 in (28 mbar) or for
Propane (37 mbar).
To connect the pressure-regulator to the gas bottle, the valve of the gas
bottle must be closed. After connecting the pressure regulator to the bottle
by screwing, connect the two ends of the tubing to the nipples and secure
them with the two hose clipse.
When fitting the connection to the gas inlet of the appliance, hold
counterpart to avoid straining and possibly damaging.
The gas bottle must only be used in an upright position and particular care
must be taken every time the appliance is connected to the gas bottle to
ensure that there are no leaks, that the gas pipe (rubber hose) is not under
tension or kinked, and that it is not in contact with hot surfaces.
