IF YOU SMELL GAS: –

Close off gas supply at the cylinder
Extinguish all naked flames
Do not operate any electrical appliances
Ventilate the area
Check for leaks as detailed in this manual
Do not tamper or modify the appliance or regulator
Should the flame not appear to be burning correctly, close off gas supply at the cylinder and seek advice from the dealer or service center
Ventilation in the room is vital for the effective performance and safety of Univa gas appliances
