VISUAL FLAME CONTROL
Depending on the type of gas used the flame should be:
Propane (G31): blue flame without yellow tips.
Butane (G30): flame with yellow tips when ignited which becomes more intense in colour as the burner heats.
GAS CYLINDERS/BOTTLES
NEVER OPERATE THE APPLIANCE WITH GAS AND OR AT GAS PRESSURES
DIFFERENT TO THOSE INDICATED BY SMEV AS THIS COULD CAUSE IRREGULAR
AND INCORRECT OPERATION. SMEV DECLINES ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR
DAMAGE OR INJURY CAUSED BY AN INCORRECT OR IMPROPER USE OF THE
APPLIANCE.
The appliance runs off standard gas bottles which can be found in the country of use. The type of gas to use is clearly
marked on the packaging and on the specifications label affixed to the rear of the appliance. However always respect the
following instructions: gas bottles must always be located and positioned in the compartment provided for this purpose.
They must always be vertical and fitted with a valve and pressure regulator. Do not obstruct or impede access to the
gas bottle to permit quick and easy access when replacing.
WARNING! When replacing the gas bottle always take the following precautions:
a) close all gas knobs;
b) make sure there are no flames or fires in proximity of the gas bottle;
c) close the gas valve on the bottle to be replaced;
d) unscrew the pressure regulator on the empty bottle and remove the bottle from the purpose compartment. This
procedure is inverted for fitting a new bottle. Check for gas leaks utilising a non-corrosive fluid. Do not use a water
and soap solution.
NEVER USE A FLAME TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS;
e) ignite the burners to check they function correctly. If there are problems call in an authorised gas service engineer.
AFTER APPLIANCE USE ALWAYS TURN OFF THE GAS TAP ON THE BOTTLE
GAS LEAKS
We recommend the use of an electronic and homologated gas detector for checking ambient air.
If there is a smell of gas;
a) immediately open the windows and evacuate the vehicle or caravan.
b) do not turn on or off light switches or other electronic appliances, do not light matches or lighters or anything that
could cause the gas to ignite;
c) put out any flames
d) shut off the valve on the gas bottle or cylinder. Do not re-open this valve unless the gas leak has been identified and
eliminated.
e) contact a specialised gas service engineer.
