TYPE 1 CONNECTION
English-12
YOUR NEW GAS STOVE IS
EQUIPPED WITH A TYPE 1
CONNECTION DEVICE
WHICH
HAS 3 SAFETY FEA
TURES
(FIG. 32):
1.
Proof of gas seal between the connector
and the cylinder before gas flow takes
place.
2.
A flow-limiting device designed to limit the
flow of gas in the event of a regulator or
hose failure.
3.
The connection has a thermal shut-off
which will stop the flow of gas if the
connection reaches a certain temperature.
Current refillable L.P. gas
cylinders are fitted with an
Overfill Protection Device
(O.P.D.). To insure that you retain
this safety-device, take your
cylinder to an L.P. gas service
station for filling, or when
exchanging your cylinder at a
cylinder exchange station,
request that your replacement
cylinder be fitted with the O.P.D.
feature.
DANGER
If a fire occurs at the cylinder valve, DO
NOT attempt to move the cylinder.
IMMEDIATELY call the fire department
and clear the area. You can safely spray
water with a garden hose from a distance
of at least 15 feet away from cylinder until
firemen arrive.

SPECIAL NOTE CONCERNING L.P. GAS
CYLINDERS:
It is important to insure that your gas
cylinder is properly purged before it is
filled. If you purchase a new cylinder,
please inform your propane gas dealer
that this is a new cylinder and needs to be
properly purged before being filled.
SPECIAL NOTE CONCERNING
TYPE 1 CONNECTION DEVICES:
If you notice very small flames on the
burner(s), you may have accidentally
activated the flow-limiting device in the
Type 1 connection device. Besides a
rupture in the gas hose, the flow-limiting
device may activate for one of the two
following reasons:
1.
Opening the burner valves before opening
the cylinder valve.
SOLUTION: Shut off the burner valves
and the L.P cylinder valve and open in the
proper order:
a). Open the L.P.cylinder valve first
, then
b). Open burner valve and ignite the
burner according to the instructions in
this manual for your stove.
IF YOU STILL HAVE A PROBLEM,
THEN THERE MAY BE AIR IN THE
CYLINDER DUE TO IMPROPER
PURGING.
2.
The L.P.cylinder was not properly purged
before it was filled.
SOLUTION: See your L.P.gas supplier.
