Before turning on the gas meter, make sure that all appliance taps and controls are turned off. You can use a gas cooker to check the gas flow. Light a burner on the cooker and wait until it burns with an even flame. If you don't have a gas cooker, refer to the appliance manufacturer's instructions.
Before lighting an appliance for the first time, read the manufacturer's instructions. If you can't find them, call the manufacturer or local distributor for assistance.
If an appliance won't light, check that the gas supply is turned on before calling a licensed gas fitter to have it checked. If the appliance is under warranty call the retailer or manufacturer.
