System Check
The LPG system should be leak tested before each use as follows:
- Close the valve of the device, open the valve of the LPG cylinder, let the gauge pressure
stabilize, close the valve of the LPG cylinder, observe the pressure indicated by the
manometer located near the bottle for three minutes. The pressure indicated by the
manometer should be constant if there are no leaks in the system
- Information: the pressure gauge does not give an indication of the quantity of liquid LPG
remaining in the bottle, but only its vapor pressure, which is a constant at a given temperature
If a leak of LPG is detected or suspected, immediately take the following measures:
- Turn off the power at the main supply tap (s).
- To extinguish open flames and other sources of ignition (heaters, cooking appliances, night
lights, etc.)
- Do not operate an electrical switch.
- Evacuate the area, if possible
WARNING
Do not use a leaked installation until it has been inspected and repaired by a competent person.
DANGER !
Never use an open flame to check for leaks.
- Note: The above tests do not replace the verification that is recommended to be done by a
professional periodically
