Points To Remember

What are the points to remember about Rubber Tubbing?
  • It must be of approved quality.
  • It should be as short as possible.
  • It should be easily accessible for inspection.
  • Keep it away from heat and fire.
  • Push it so as to cover the full length of the nozzle.
  • Make sure it does not get heated by the burner, or is looped/twisted.
  • Clean it with wet cloth only. Don’t use soap to ease the tube over the nozzle.
  • Check it regularly for cracks, holes, softness, and porosity especially at the ends.
  • Replace tubing every 2 years if not earlier.
  • Do not cover rubber tubing by any other object or sleeve.
The Pressure Regulator is vey Important Too.

It is connected to the outlet of the cylinder valve. its function is to regulate the pressure of the gas coming out of the cylinder and supply it at a constant pressure to the hot plate.

  • If you smell gas
  • Disconnecting the empty cylinder
  • Connecting the filled Cylinder
  • To light the burners.
  • Safety goes a long way
  • Good habits for your safety.
To light The Burners

Turn the switch knob of the regulator anti – clockwise till it is in ON position Hold a lighted matchstick near the burner head of the stove and turn the knob of the stove to ON position

  • Put out all the flames and fires including incense sticks, candle, lamp in the kitchen and adjoining rooms
  • Close all the taps on the cooking stove
  • Turn the switch knob of the regulator from ON position to OFF position
  • Grip the regulator and pull the bush (black plastic locking ring) up and lift the regulator by giving a gentle swivel. Regulator will thus get detached from the valve on the cylinder
  • Place the delrin (plastic) safety cap on the valve of the cylinder. Press the cap firmly down until a distinct click is heard. Now the empty cylinder can be removed
If You Smell Gas?
  • Do not operate electrical switches.
  • Ensure that stove knobs are in OFF position
  • Do not light a matchstick even to detect the leakage of LPG.
  • Switch OFF the pressure regulator by turning the knob clockwise to the OFF position.
  • Open all doors and windows
  • If the smell persists, call your C-Gas distributor.
  • An experienced person can detach the regulator. Fix the safety cap on the valve.
Connecting the filled Cylinder
  • To remove the safety cap, press it down, PULL the cord and keeping it pulled, LIFT the cap off the valve of the cylinder.
  • Check whether sealing ring is in place inside the cylinder valve by feeling the same with the help of your little finger. Do not use the cylinder if the ring is missing, put back the safety cap and contact your distributor for replacement of cylinder.
  • To mount the regulator on the filled cylinder, carry out the following steps.
  • Ensure the switch knob of the regulator is in the OFF position
  • Grip the regulator and pull up the plastic blush
  • Place the regulator vertically on the valve and press it down till its edge touches the hexagon of the valve on the cylinder with a gentle swivel. Release the black plastic bush and then press it down.(you may hear click sound)
  • The pressure regulator is now locked on the cylinder.
Disconnecting The Empty Cylinder
  • Put out all the flames and fires including incense sticks, candle, lamp in the kitchen and adjoining rooms
  • Close all the taps on the cooking stove
  • Turn the switch knob of the regulator from ON position to OFF position
  • Grip the regulator and pull the bush (black plastic locking ring) up and lift the regulator by giving a gentle swivel. Regulator will thus get detached from the valve on the cylinder
  • Place the delrin (plastic) safety cap on the valve of the cylinder. Press the cap firmly down until a distinct click is heard. Now the empty cylinder can be removed
Safety Goes Along Way
  • Do not wear nylon garments or similar fabric when cooking
  • Never leave the cooking appliance unattended when in use
  • Never try to Repair, Adjust or inspect any part of the C-Gas Installation or allow fake mechanics to do so. Allow authorized engineers to inspect the installation once in two years
  • Do not use long curtains on windows if your cooking appliance is near it. They can blow over the burner and catch fire
  • Insist on redelivery check of the refill cylinder at the time of its delivery
  • Do not install the cooking appliance on the floor. Do not use a wooden table without asbestos sheet over it
  • C-Gas should never be used in a poorly ventilated room
  • Never install a C-Gas cylinder below ground level or in cellars or basements
  • No other heating device (Like an electric oven or a kerosene stove) should be placed within one meter of a C-Gas appliance
  • Do not use any cover on the rubber tube.
  • Never leave the regulator in ON position after cooking is over or during night
  • Always smell for leakage of LPG before lighting the stove
  • Never use the rubber tube if it has cracks or is more than 2 years old
