Ensuring the safety of your gas installation is essential to avoid risks. Follow our advice to keep your bottled gas installation in perfect conditions and enjoy every day of Cepsa butane and propane with total peace of mind.
Good preventive maintenance makes a difference.
Follow these guidelines to use your butane or propane cylinder with total peace of mind and performance.
Always use CE marked hoses and regulators. They ensure regulatory compliance and protect your home and family. Replace any non-certified components.
A steady blue flame is a sign that your gas system is working properly. If you notice color changes (yellow/orange) or instability in flame behavior, contact an authorized technician immediately.
If you need to make any modifications to your gas network or add new appliances, always rely on an authorized professional. This way you will maintain the safety and efficiency of your bottled gas installation.
Remember to check the expiration date and the condition of the tubing, and replace it if necessary. This will help prevent leaks and maintain proper function.
Regularly check the burners and make sure that the flame remains blue and constant. A well-maintained burner optimizes performance and helps you save energy.
Keeping your gas cylinder installation in perfect condition is key to your safety and peace of mind. Ask for a revision every 5 years by an authorized installer and do not forget to send the certificates to Cepsa.
If you are going to be away from home for a long period of time, always turn off the gas tap. This way you will avoid possible leaks while no one is at home.
Always keep the bottle in an upright position. Do not place it in places with high temperatures or in direct sunlight for long periods of time: this protects its operation and safety.
Place the butane or propane cylinder in a well-ventilated space. Keep vents clear and unobstructed to prevent gas buildup.
If you need to store several bottles, place them in a dry and ventilated place. Avoid storing them in enclosed spaces or near heat sources. For greater safety, ask for the collection of empty bottles.
In case of any gas odor, act immediately and calmly.
