Blue Zone-If the needle of the gas safe dial is in this area adequate gas supply is indicated.
Red Zone-If the needle of Gas safe dial is in this area, low LPG level is indicated, further to which refilling of cylinder would be required soon.
FEATURES OF GAS SAFE :
Gas Safe will automatically shut-off the gas supply from the cylinder due to major leakages of gas caused due to:
- The rupturing of a tube or pulling off the Stove or regulator
- The regulator failed to function properly
- The tube catching fire
- The controls of an appliances (gas stove) in unlit conditions is / are left in ON positions
- There is insufficient flow through the spot where the leakage is occurring.
- Supply line is too small
- The gas system is mounted or placed near a corrosive area or an area which is subjected to vibration
Automatic shut off may occur if gas consumption is excessive at low cylinder pressure. However, if shut off continually occurs it is advisable to have the system safely checked immediately by an authorized gas filter. Do not use the system until the problem has been rectified. In such a situation it is also possible that cylinder may need refilling.
Shut-off is indicated by the Gas Safe when the dial needle suddenly returns to zero. If shut off occurs, the gas stove controls may be turned of OFF position and procedure for ‘How to test for minor leaks’ should be repeated. If continuous shut-off occurs, the LPG system would need to be rectified by an authorized gas fitter.
At extreme low temperature and severe winter conditions gas safe will shut off gas supply and may not function properl.
