Learn how to install your regulator correctly 

Here are some points to know to make sure your gas regulator has been installed safely! 

1. Always double check. Make sure the stove is turned off. 
2. Open the gas cylinder safety seal and install the rubber seal or rubber protector into the gas cylinder. 
3. Make sure the safety clamp is firmly attached to the gas hose.
