Gas cylinder information
∙
Liquid propane gas is a gas at regular temperatures and
pressures. Inside the gas cylinder, propane gas is a liquid.
As the pressure is released, the liquid readily vaporizes and
becomes gas.
∙
Liquid propane gas has an odour similar to natural gas. You
should be aware of this odour.
∙
Liquid propane gas is heavier than air. Leaking liquid pro-
pane gas may collect in low areas and prevent dispersion.
∙
The gas cylinder must be installed, transported, and stored
in an upright position and out of the reach of children. Gas
cylinders should not be dropped or handled roughly.
∙
Never store or transport a gas cylinder where tempera-
tures can reach 50 °C, so e.g. do not leave the gas cylinder
in a car on a hot day.
∙
Treat empty gas cylinders with the same care as when full.
Even when the gas cylinder is empty of liquid, there still
may be gas pressure in the gas cylinder. Always close the
cylinder valve before disconnecting.
∙ If you see, smell or hear the hiss of escaping gas from the
gas cylinder while its valve is tightly closed:
• Move away from the liquid propane cylinder.
• Do not attempt to correct the problem yourself.
• Call your fi re department.

Gas hose & regulator information
Before each use, check if hoses are cut or worn. Make sure
the hose assembly is not bent or kinked and does not contact
any warm surface while the appliance is in use. Choose a po-
sition that ensures that it is not subjected to twisting. Replace
damaged hoses immediately.
WARNING
It is recommended to replace the pressure regulator
and hose assembly every 5 years. In some countries it is
prescribed that the pressure regulator and hose assem-
bly must be replaced in less than 5 years. These national
regulations prevail.
Contact your HORNBACH store for a replacement pressure
regulator and hose assembly.
∙
Only use EN certifi ed hose assemblies and pressure
regulators with this appliance. The length must not exceed
1.5 meters.
∙
If the pressure regulator is not supplied with the appliance,
use only certifi ed pressure regulators that comply with
EN 16129 (fl ow rate of max. 1.5 kg/h) and which are ap-
proved for your country and gas as specifi ed in the techni-
cal data.
