Danger "Gas displaces oxygen"Danger "Gas displaces oxygen"
Liquid gas is heavier than oxygen. It therefore settles on the ground, displacing the oxygen
at that level.
Possible consequences:
• Suocation resulting from a lack of oxygen if the gas concentration is allowed to increase
suciently.
•
Safety measures:
• Only use the barbecue outdoors in a well ventilated area and above ground (i.e. not in
areas that are below ground level).
• Close the valve on the gas cylinder immediately after each use (turn the valve
clockwise).
• Never leave the hot barbecue unattended. If the ame extinguishes, relight immediately
or cut o supply from gas cylinder.
• Before each use check to ensure that all of the connections through which gas is supplied
are sealed and intact. Even the smallest of leaks can be dangerous.
If necessary, ensure that you replace the hose to meet with national requirements.
The barbecue must not be used if the connections for the gas supply are porous or
faulty.
• If the barbecue is not in use for longer periods, cut o the supply from the gas cylinder
and store properly:
– Fit gas cylinder valve with cap nut and safety cap.
– Do not store gas cylinder in areas below ground level, or in or near stairways,
hallways or passages between building for pedestrians or cars.
– Always store gas bottles upright, even if they are empty.
