The connection pipe and gas bottle should always be located in positions
where they will not be tripped over or otherwise inadvertently disturbed.
Before attempting to light the burner, every time after connection, turn on the
gas at the bottle and check the gas connections for leaks by applying a soap
and water solution over them and watching for bubbles, which would
indicate a leak.
After testing dry off traces of detergent.
For your safety
Do not check for leaks with a naked flame!
Do not smoke while checking for leaks!
