1. Turn the ignition knob to the “O” position and unlock the gas cartridge by releasing the cartridge lock lever to the upward position. If safe to do so, remove and isolate the gas cartridge.
2. Open all windows or move the appliance to a well-ventilated location, away from any ignition source.
3. Do not use or turn on/off any electrical or gas appliances including telephones). Do not light flames or use any equipment that could cause sparks or flames.
4. If there is a gas leak on the appliance and you cannot stop the gas flow or remove the gas cartridge, relocate the appliance to a well-ventilated location away from any ignition source.

5. Do not attempt to ignite the cooker any further.
6. Contact your dealer for more advice

AUTO SAFETY DEVICE
In the case of long-term or excessive heat near the fuel cartridge, pressure will build up to set off the safety device. The gas cartridge is automatically ejected in the event of over-pressure in the gas cartridge and the flame will be extinguished.
