Depending on the gas being used, the burners should flame as follows:
Propane- The flames should burn quietly with a blue/green colour and no sign of yellow tips.
Butane- Normally on initial lighting, a small amount of yellow tipping will occur and then slightly increase as the
burner heats up.
Although the burner will support pans from 12 to 22cm, care should be taken not to overload the appliance as
reduced performance may result.
When using small pans the flame should not spread beyond the base of the pan as this will reduce the efficiency
of the burner.
SAFETY

LEAKS
If a smell of gas becomes apparent, the supply should be turned off at the cylinder IMMEDIATELY. Extinguish
naked lights including cigarettes and pipes Do not operate electrical switches. Open all doors and windows to
disperse any gas escape.
Butane/Propane gas is heavier than air, any gas escaping will therefore collect at low level. The strong
unpleasant smell of gas will enable the general area of the leak to be detected. Check that the gas is not
escaping from an unlit appliance.
Never check for leaks with a naked flame, leak investigation should be carried out using a leak detector spray or
soapy solution
