• LPG is a heavy gas and therefore sinks to the
lowest point.
• If there is insufficient ventilation a spark could
result in an explosion.
• Do not store or use gas cylinders indoors, it
is contained under high pressure and should
only be kept outdoors and never stored below
ground level.
• LPG is odourless so the manufacturers add
the distinctive smell to act as a warning if a
fault should occur.
• If you suspect a gas leak, extinguish all flames,
turn off the gas at the bottle and ventilate the
HOLIDAY HOME by opening doors, windows,
and cupboards. Do not operate fans, lights or
other electrical apparatus. Go outside for a
few minutes and consult your park operator.
• The strong unpleasant smell of LPG will
enable the general area of the leak to be
detected. Check that gas is not escaping from
an unlit appliance. In the case of a leak, close
cylinder valve(s) and call a competent installer
to rectify the fault. If a leaking gas cylinder
cannot be stopped, remove the cylinder to a
safe place in the open air in an upright position
away from drains and any source of ignition.
• It is vitally important that you read all
instructions and labels before using any
appliance and keep them handy for future
reference.
WARNING: If in doubt ask
• Do not place clothes or any other combustible
material on, over or near any gas appliances,
such as fires, cookers or water heaters.
Apart from the fire hazard, their presence
could affect the appliance and negate any
guarantee.
WARNING: Do not use appliances in any
way other than their intended use. Cookers
are for cooking not heating.
Note: Always remember - Gas appliances
i
that are designed, installed and used correctly,
regularly serviced, properly flued and
ventilated are completely safe.
WARNING: Never use portable cooking or
heating equipment inside your holiday home
other than electrical heaters that are not a
direct radiant.
Note: Always use a Gas Safe registered gas
i
fitter for any work or modification to your gas
system or appliances.
Safe Use of LPG
• The flue installation for all appliances
should be inspected at least once a year,
throughout its length, for corrosion. If any
sign of corrosion is found it must be replaced
immediately with the correct type and by a
registered fitter. To inspect the gas flue, the
engineer will remove the self-tapping screws
which hold the inspection panel(s) at high and/
or low level.
