The "Latino" term likely refers to brands of gas safety devices available in the market; these devices are designed to automatically shut off gas supply in case of major leaks like hose ruptures or appliance fires by stopping the flow when a sudden, excessive pressure drop is detected. To operate it, turn the regulator off when not in use, and if a sudden shut-off occurs (indicated by the dial returning to zero), immediately turn off the stove, open windows, and contact your distributor for assistance.
How it Works
Automatic Shut-off for Major Leaks: A safety device is engineered to detect a rapid and significant drop in pressure, signaling a major gas leak (such as a burst hose or a fire).
Disrupts Gas Flow: When a major leak is detected, the device automatically closes the gas supply from the cylinder.
Indicates Shut-off: The internal dial on the device will suddenly return to the "zero" position, indicating that the gas has been shut off.
When to Use It
Before/After Use: It should be closed when the stove is not in use, similar to a standard pressure regulator.
During a Leak: If a gas leak is detected, follow the emergency procedure:
Close the regulator on the cylinder.
Open all doors and windows in the kitchen to disperse the leaked gas.
Turn off any open flames or electrical switches.
Important Safety Tips
Cylinder Storage: Always store LPG cylinders in a well-ventilated, vertical position, away from heat sources.
Regular Inspection: Regularly inspect the hose for cracks or other damage.
Stove Placement: The gas stove must always be placed at a higher level than the cylinder to prevent leaking vapors from flowing downwards towards the stove's flame.
Contact for Issues: If you experience continuous shut-offs or suspect a problem, contact your Indane distributor or authorized service provider for inspection and rectification.
