HOW TO CORRECT IT

Regularly check your gas cylinder for leaks and pipes for cracks.

Experts advised that the gas cylinder should be two metres away from the stove).

As with all gas appliances, it is recommended that the heater is serviced on a regular basis by a qualified gas technician, in line with the instructions provided by the manufacturer.

The best place to store the gas cylinder is in a dry and a safe place, preferably in a well-ventilated part of the house. The safest storage is outside although it will be hard to detect leaks. Therefore, if your gas cylinder is stored outside it is important to regularly check it. It should be protected from external heat sources.
