If your appliance has no leak at the cylinder, then re-check for loose connections and retest for leaks using the method
detailed in the following pages with soapy solution.
Do not subject your LP gas cylinder to excessive heat, and always store the cylinder in an upright position. Never store your
LP cylinders indoors.
Make sure that when attaching components, all connections are secured and fully tightened to prevent leakage.
Always check for leaks before every use.
If one is not already available, it is required that an ON-OFF shutoff valve be installed at the gas supply source, and that the
gas supply be turned off when either Natural Gas or LP Gas appliances are not in use.

any other enclosed area.
