CONNECTING THE GAS CYLINDER TO THE APPLIANCE

This appliance is only suitable for use with low-pressure butane or propane gas and fitted with the appropriate low-pressure regulator via a flexible hose. The hose should be secured to the regulator and the appliance with hose clips/nuts. This plancha is set to operate a 28 mbar regulator with butane gas, and a 37mbar regulator with propane gas, and a regulator with butane/propane mixture at 37mbar, and a regulator with butane/propane mixture at 50mbar and a regulator with butane/propane mixture at 30mbar. Use a suitable regulator certified to BSEN 16129: 2013. Please consult your LPG dealer for information regarding a suitable regulator for the gas cylinder.

BEFORE USE PLEASE CHECK FOR LEAKAGE!

Never check for leaks with a naked flame, always use a soapy water solution

TO CHECK FOR LEAKS

Make 2-3 fluid ounces of leak detecting solution by mixing one part washing up liquid with 3 parts water.
Ensure the control valve is “OFF”.

Connect the regulator to the cylinder and ON/OFF valve to the burner, ensure the connections are secure then turn ON the gas.

Brush the soapy solution on to the hose and all joints. If bubbles appear you have a leak, which must be rectified before use.

Retest after fixing the fault. Turn OFF the gas at the cylinder after testing.

If detected leakage can not be rectified, do not attempt to cure leakage but consult your gas dealer.
In the event of gas leakage, turn off the gas supply.

The items are not supplied with the plancha. Use only regulators and hose approved for LPG at the above pressures (See page 2). The life expectancy of the regulator is estimated as 10 years. It is recommended that the regulator is changed within 10 years of the date of manufacture.

The use of the wrong regulator or hose is unsafe; always check that you have the correct items before operating the plancha.

The hose used must conform to the relevant standard for the country of use. The length of the hose must be 1.5 meters (maximum). Worn or damaged hose must be replaced. Ensure that the hose is not obstructed, kinked, or in contact with any part of the plancha other than at its connection.

The hose should comply with the standard EN16436.
The hose should not be twisted or kinked when attached to the gas cylinder.
