Avoid leaks
If the regulator is not properly attached to the gas cylinder, propane gas may leak. If the gas catches fire, the bottle can also catch fire and explode. Press the locking ring on the regulator down firmly to avoid leakage.
Close after use
The regulator switch should be closed when the appliance is not in use. If you are going away or not using gas for a while, turn off the regulator switch and disconnect the regulator.
How to fit the regulator to the gas bottle
- Remove any seals on the gas bottle. Do not use a knife or anything that may damage the gasket. Check that the gasket on the bottle is intact, clean and pliable.
- Place the regulator over the gas bottle. Make sure the switch on the top of the regulator is closed so that the red flame symbol pinting downward.
- Press the locking ring up and lower the regulator onto the gas bottle valve.
- Press the locking ring down with both hands until it locks in with an audible click. Lift the bottle by the regulator to check that the regulator is in place. Then, you can open the regulator switch so that the red flame sign is pointing upwards.
