appliances and extractors prescribe
observance of the following rules (which are
the user's responsibility):
• appliances that run on liquid gas must be
inspected before being used for the first
time and every year thereafter.
• the gas burner must be cleaned at least
once a year or more frequently if
necessary.
• If a gas hose is used, it must be checked
annually. This hose has a limited life and,
thus, must be regularly replaced. Check
the hose regularly for cracks, splits and
ageing. If in doubt, replace the hose. Pay
attention to the maximum life of the hose
