- Keep these instructions in a safe place so that you can refer to them if needed.
- This equipment must be used exclusively with Campingaz® CV270 PLUS / CV300 PLUS / CV470 PLUS cartridges. Using other gas containers may be dangerous.
- The Société Application Des Gaz accepts no responsibility where cartridges of any other make are used.
- This equipment must only be used in adequately ventilated areas (minimum 2 m3/h/kW) and at a good distance from any flammable material. Do not use equipment which leaks, functions incorrectly or is damaged. Return it to your retailer who will inform you of your nearest after-sales service.
- Never modify this equipment or use it for purposes for which it is not intended.
- Do not use this product in caravans, cars, tents, huts, sheds or any small enclosed areas.
- The product should not be used while sleeping or left unattended.
- This product consumes fuel through combustion or consumption of oxygen and gives off certain substances and gas, which could be dangerous such as carbon monoxide (CO).
- Carbon monoxide is an odorless, clear gas that can cause flu-like symptoms, sickness, illness, and possibly death if produced inside aforesaid enclosed areas through use of the product without proper ventilation.
PUTTING INTO OPERATION
Remove the equipment from its protective box.
ASSEMBLING THE FEET
- Hold the equipment in one hand, then push one foot (1) fully into one of the supports (2) until it is locked; button (3) facing outwards (see Fig. 1). Repeat this for the other three feet.
Installing the Campingaz® CV270 PLUS / CV300 PLUS / CV470 PLUS cartridge
- (Where the existing cartridge is empty, read paragraph D : “Removing the cartridge”).
- To install or remove a cartridge, always work in a wellventilated area, preferably outside and never in the presence of a flame, heat source or spark (lit cigarette, electrical equipment, etc.) at a good distance from other people and flammable material.
AS CAMPINGAZ® CV270 PLUS / CV300 PLUS / CV470 PLUS CARTRIDGES ARE VALVE- OPERATED, THEY CAN BE DETACHED FROM THE APPLIANCE, EASILY TRANSPORTED (EVEN WHEN NOT EMPTY) AND FITTED TO OTHER CAMPINGAZ® APPLIANCES IN THE CV270 PLUS / CV300 PLUS / CV470 PLUS PLUS RANGE DESIGNED TO OPERATE EXCLUSIVELY WITH THESE CARTRIDGES.
- Check that the gas control valve is fully closed, turn the control valve handle (4) clockwise until closed ( “-” ) (fig.2). Fully close the control handle to prevent gas flow.
- Hold the burner (caution – it may be hot!) and gently screw cartridge (5) into the burner clockwise until you hear a click (about one sixth of a turn) (Fig. 3). Do not tighten the cartridge further, as you may damage its valve.
The equipment is ready for use
In case of leakage (gas smell before opening the valve), put immediately the equipment outside, in a well-ventilated area, without inflammation source, where it will be possible to locate and stop the lead. If you wish to check the tightness of the equipment, do it outside. Do not try to locate a leak with a flame, use gas leak detection liquid.
USING THE COOKER
Additional instructions
Never use your equipment at a distance of less than 20 cm from a wall or combustible object. Position the equipment on a stable, horizontal surface and do not move when in use so as to avoid the appearance of large flames resulting from the combustion of liquid butane rather than vaporised butane. Should this occur, position the equipment and turn the tap off. Set the cooker at low power when using flat metallic ustensils such as a toaster or a rack for toasting bread. Never use your equipment without having first assembled the feet.
Lighting the burner
Turn on the gas by turning wheel (4) fully clockwise.- Press button (4) immediately after turning on the gas, several times if necessary.
Cooking
Place the pan on the supports, centred over the burner, and regulate the flow
of gas (see fig. 2) so that the flames do not go up the pan.
Extinguishing
When cooking is finished: switch off the gas by turning the knob (4) fully
clockwise (arrow direction “-“).
Removing the feet
- Once your equipment has cooled down completely:
- Remove the cartridge (see paragraph “D – Removing the cartridge”).
- Hold the equipment in one hand, then pull one of the feet outwards whilst holding button (3) on the foot down (Fig. 6).
- Repeat this for the other three feet.
ROMOVING THE CARTRIDGE
- The cartridge may be removed, even if it is not empty.
- Replace the cartridge outside and away from other people.
- ait until the appliance has cooled down.
- Check that the gas supply is fully turned off by turning the gas control lever (4) clockwise until the valve is closed (arrow direction “-“).
- Hold the equipment, unscrew cartridge (5) by turning it anticlockwise and remove it.
- Never dispose of a cartridge until you are sure it is empty (shake the cartridge and listen for the sound of liquid).
STORAGE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
Once your equipment has fully cooled
- Store the equipment and the cartridge in a cool, dry and well-ventilated area, out of reach of children.
- Never store in a basement or cellar.
- In the case of the injector becoming clogged (the cartridge still contains gas but the equipment will not light), do not try to unclog it yourself. Return the equipment to your retailer.
- If you use this equipment indoors, the area must observe elementary ventilation conditions enabling the supply of air required for combustion and avoiding any build-up of a dangerous mixture of non-burnt gas (2 m3/h/kW minimum).
