Internal installations of gas bottles are permitted within residential properties, subject to specific guidelines. In apartments or townhouses, gas bottles up to 9kg in size can be installed, while houses can accommodate gas bottles up to 19kg.

However, it is essential to allocate dedicated cupboard space for the gas bottles, so it’s advisable to consult with the relevant authority in charge of kitchen arrangements if you are renting. Additionally, the installation process must be carried out by a certified professional.

Igniting the gas heater

To ignite the gas heater, follow the manufacturer’s instructions provided with the appliance. Typically, it involves turning the control knob to the “ignition” or “start” position and pressing the ignition button. Some models may require holding the control knob in the ignition position until the flame ignites.

Igniting multiple frames

For gas heaters with more than one frame, the ignition process may vary. Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for specific guidance on igniting each frame. It may involve repeating the ignition process for each frame individually or using a specific sequence provided by the manufacturer.
