GAS SAFETY ADVICE
GAS SAFETY ADVICE
In the event of a suspected gas leak the gas
must be turned off using the isolation valve
on the gas bottle. A competent gas fitter
should then check the system before it is
used/reused.
Regularly check flexible gas hose, joints and
connections for tightness. Finally, make sure
that each gas appliance is working efficiently
to the recommendations of the appliance
manufacturers.

FACTS ABOUT LPG
• LPG is not poisonous.
•Bi-products are harmless.
• LPG is dangerous if all air and oxygen is
excluded.
• LPG has been given a smell by the
manufacturers in order to identify leaks.
• The gas is heavier than air and therefore
sinks to the lowest point.
AWNING SPACES, LPG AND
APPLIANCE EXHAUST
Using a refrigerator on gas which vents into
an enclosed awning space must only be
done if there is sufficient ventilation to
prevent the build up of CO2.
Space and Water heaters may produce
sufficient amounts of CO2 to pollute the
awning space, if it is totally enclosed and
therefore MUST NOT BE used on gas when
an awning is attached.
A general comfort, smell and hygiene point of
view. In extreme cases there could be a build
up of carbon dioxide to a dangerous level.
Motorhome owners are advised to allow
some fresh air circulation in the awning
space when such appliances are in use.
Please note: Ventilation holes must be clear
at all times.
LPG GAS SYSTEM
Elddis does not recommend the use of any
external cylinders. All cylinders in use should
be within the gas locker provided. If you wish
to utilise a larger cylinder and have this
outside the gas locker then the connecting
hose must not exceed 750mm.
It is recommended that no flammable
material is stored or placed within 300mm of
any open flame. You are advised not to use
any additional gas appliances outside your
motorhome.
Please ensure that you have read the
operating instructions for each gas appliance
contained in your Owners Information Pack.
Please ensure that any gas hose left
unconnected is protected from dirt or other
foreign bodies entering the hose.
