BBQ
SAFELY
-
When lighting your propane barbeque, open the
lid and strike your match or lighter before turning on the gas.
-
When you have finished barbequing, remember
to turn off your propane cylinder valve first and then the BBQ
burners. Ensure that you close the cylinder valve tightly, even
if you think the tank is empty.
-
Store your BBQ and propane cylinder outdoors.
-
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the
safe use, cleaning and maintenance of your BBQ.
-
Test your cylinder for leakages on a regular
basis. When testing for leakages, never use matches or an open
flame. Use soapy water or a leak detector.
-
Store your cylinder away from heat and insert
a safety plug on the valve.
