9.4 Connection of gas supply
(The following instructions refer in the main to
coolers manufactured in the United Kingdom. For
other countries please refer to your supplier.)
Always connect in the following sequence:
GAS BOTTLE
→→
PRESSURE-REGULATOR
→→
APPLIANCE.
To connect the appliance to the pressure-regulator
an APPROVED GAS TUBING should be used.
This should be minimum in length - have an inside
dimension of 8mm and be marked BS3212/2/8.
The pressure-regulator must be compatible for
Butane 11 in (28 mbar) or for Propane (37 mbar).
To connect the pressure-regulator to the gas bottle,
the valve of the gas bottle must be closed. After
connecting the pressure regulator to the bottle by
srewing, connect the two ends of the tubing to the
nipples and secure them with the two hose clipse.
(Figure 9).
When fitting the connection to the gas inlet of the
appliance (Figure 8), hold the counterpart to avoid
straining and possibly damaging.
The gas bottle (Butane, blue bottle) may only be
used in an upright position and particular care
must be taken every time the appliance is
connected to the gas bottle to ensure that there
are no leaks, that the tubing (rubber hose) is not
under tension or kinked, and that it is not in
contact with hot surfaces.
The tubing and the gas bottle should always be
located in positions where they will not be
tripped over or otherwise inadvertently
disturbed.
Before attempting to light the burner, every time
after connection, turn on the gas at the bottle
and check the gas connections for leaks by
applying a soap and water solution over them
and watching for bubbles, which would indicate
a leak.
After testing dry off traces of detergent.
For your safety:
Do not check for leaks with a naked flame! Do not smoke while checking for
Figure 6. Figure 7.
