Our entire team at V-Gas puts safety first. That is why it is extremely important for us to ensure the safe use of propane-butane cylinders and compliance with all safety requirements of national and European legislation. Safety must also be a priority for you, our customers, when using our products.
It is your responsibility not to drop or damage the bottle in any other way and to ensure that:
- the appliances that will use propane-butane are in full working order
- do not fill the bottles yourself
- Do not keep bottles near sources of open flames.
- the bottles are placed in a vertical position
That is why, after giving you the basic safety tips for working with gas cylinders, we would like to remind you of a few more important recommendations for using gas cylinders.
