How should the cylinder be stored?

The cylinder contains compressed carbon dioxide (CO₂). Compressed gas has a tendency to expand when it is exposed to a source of heat for prolonged periods of time. Therefore, the cylinder must not be exposed to sources of heat (such as travel in the boot of a car) or placed right next a heat source such as an oven, stove or fireplace. It is important to always store the cylinder unit in a cool and dry environment. Every cylinder is fitted with a unique safety valve which will safely release the gas in the unlikely event the pressure in the cylinder rises.
