2.1 Safety instruction regarding the use of the gas cylinders.
• Use only the type of gas and pressure specified by the manufacturer.
• The gas cylinders should always be placed in a vertical position – during use and transport.
• Always store the gas cylinder in an easily accessible place to allow its immediate turn-off.
• During the installation process do not allow an open flame or any ignited object to reach the gas cylinder.
• The gas cylinder must be located in accordance with AS/NZS 5601 and AS/NZS 1596.
• Leaks should be found with the use of a cleaning liquid and water. If bubbles form on the surface that means
