Connection
Ensure that the gas regulator hose is correctly
connected to the gas cylinder in gas bottle
compartment and that the hose connection
is tight.
Gas cylinders must be fully located, seated at
the base of the bottles and restrained by the
straps provided in the dedicated compartment
position. Straps are positioned to suit 6kg, 7kg
and 13kg bottles.
!
WARNING: If using cylinders other
than those recommended, the user must
ensure these are adequately supported,
ventilation openings must not be obstructed
and the cylinders must not cause damage
to other fixtures and fittings located in the
compartment.

Ventilation

All ventilation complies with BS EN 721 and
vents should not be obstructed in any manner
as this could lead to insufficient fresh air. In
this case the confined atmosphere becomes
depleted of oxygen which could lead to
dangerous levels of carbon dioxide (CO
up leading to the risk of asphyxiation.
The risks of carbon monoxide (CO) build
up, which is a colourless, odourless and
tasteless gas, will also be reduced with
ventilation. Carbon monoxide is produced
from incomplete combustion and should the
CO detector be activated the cause of the
incomplete combustion must be investigated
prior to reusing the appliance in question.
Roof-mounted Flue installations
All flue installations should be inspected
once a year throughout their length for
corrosion. Flues should be replaced if any
sign of perforation is found. Ensure that the
replacement is of an approved type.
