When cooking with LPG

Keep the windows open to ventilate your kitchen
Do not place flammable or plastic items near the flame
Never leave your cooking unattended. The cooking vessel could overflow and extinguish the burners, causing gas to leak.

LPG maintenance

Disconnect LPG regulator and affix safety cap when your gas stove is not in use for a prolonged period
Always store the LPG cylinder in an upright position and away from other combustible and flammable materials
Check for gas leaks regularly by applying soap solution on cylinder joints. The appearance of soap bubbles indicates leak points
Do not use open flame to detect leaks

LPG is a popular and efficient energy source used in homes for cooking. It is imperative that you take good care and use it safely and responsibly. LPG Cylinders are strong and cannot be damaged easily. However leaks can occur from cylinder, valves and pipe connections if it is not kept in good condition or if considerable care is not taken while replacing them.
