   Turn the appliance upside down on a clean, flat surface. Pull out the side shelves located under the stove body. These shelves are held by plastic clamps on the aluminum telescopic legs. Pull the shelves vertically to release them (fig. A). Unfasten the rolled up textile shelf attached with hook-and-loop straps. Unhook the telescopic feet from their housing under the stove (fig. b):

   • Push in button B (1)

   • Slide the tube to release it (2)

   • Pull it out (3). Repeat the operation for the other 3 legs. Screw each foot into the 4 corners of the plate, checking that they are tight (fig. C). Fixing the side shelves Pull out the support wire under the shelf by compressing wire F (fig. D). Lodge the ends of the support wire in the holes located on the sides of the legs (fig. E).
     Attention : There are 2 holes on each leg. When lodging ends of the support wire, use the lower holes on the front pair of legs and use the upper holes on the rear pair of legs.

   • Front legs: bottom hole (T1)

   • Rear face: top hole (T2) (see fig. D) Place a shelf on the side support of the appliance (fig. F – step a). Fix the 2 retaining screws (fig. F – step b). Hook the support wire into the notches EN provided for this under the shelf. Repeat this operation for the second shelf. Check the stability of the shelf attachments before putting any weight on them.
     Fitting the central textile shelf (fig. G)

   • Unfold the shelf by opening the jointed uprights progressively on each side.

   • Place the ends of the uprights P in the plastic rings (rotating freely on each foot).  Check that the shelf is well tensioned (completely unfold the uprights P to improve the stability of your appliance.

• Close the valve on the gas cylinder.
  Important: An overall inspection and leaks check must be carried out at least annually and always after changing the gas cylinder.

USE

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

• It’s recommended that protective gloves be worn to handle components which may be very hot.
• Do not use the stove within 20 cm of a wall or similar surface, or any combustible object.
• Place the stove on a horizontal surface and never move it while it is in operation.
• In the event of a leak (smell of gas), close all valves. Wait until the device has completely cooled before handling or storing it. After use, always close the valve on the relief valve or gas cylinder.
• Do not use containers whose diameter is greater than 26 cm or is less than 16 cm. Keep young children away from the appliance, some parts can be very hot.
• ATTENTION : the appliance must be completely unfolded and assembled, even for the stove function. The safety lever L located on the side of the lid must be in the stop position (lever down) to prevent any unintentional closure of the lid.

In Stove or Grill use, light with the piezoelectric by positioning the adjusting knob at the “ ” position. When using with the Grill, always check that there is water in the water tank. Never operate a grill hotplate at maximum flow rate ( ). Check that the appliance adjusting knobs are in Grill position ( ) after lighting.

Never let the Grill operate (adjusting knob in Grill position) without food for more than the 2 to 3 minutes preheating on pain of damage to the special coating.

400 S and 400 SG models:
When the Grill is in operation, the support on which the unit is standing can get very hot. The unit must not be placed on a combustible surface (plastic, tablecloth, etc.). It is recommended that the unit be placed on a heat- resistant surface (concrete, stone, brick, directly on the ground (earth)). Otherwise, an incombustible, heat-insulating material should be placed between the unit and its support.

1. STOVE FUNCTION

   • If the appliance is packaged for transport, remove the grill hotplates (models 400 SG and 600 SG), the pan supports and the water compartments.

   • Turn over and refit the pan supports in the use position by pushing the wire anchor points into the holes provided.

   • If the appliance has been used as a Grill, remove the grill hotplates and the water tanks (check that they are cold).
     Lighting

   • Open the gas supply (valve or lever on regulator).

   • Rotate the knob corresponding to the burner anti-clockwise to the maximum flow rate position ( ).

   • Wait 2 to 3 seconds and press the piezoelectric button ( ) several times until the burner lights. If it does not light after 3 tries, position the adjusting knob to “OFF” (•) by rotating it clockwise. Wait 1 minute before repeating the operation.

   • Adjust the flame to the container dimension by positioning the knob to the defined range between ( ) and ( ).

   • In strong winds arrange the appliance so that the lid provides an obstacle to the wind. Furthermore, your appliance has a new patented, high wind performance Campingaz® “xcelerate burner” combined with a pan support (patented) playing the role of 360° windshield.

   • When cooking is finished turn the knob corresponding to the burner clockwise to position (•).

   Note : for the Grill function, the pan supports must be removed from the plate.
   If the appliance has been used as a stove:

   • Remove the pan supports from both burners (check that they are cold).
   • Position the water tank.
   • Put in a maximum of 25 cl of water. The water level must be slightly greater, by 1 to 2 mm, than the height of the form stamped around the burner.
   • Place the grill hotplate on the water compartment, ensuring that it is perfectly stable on the water tank (there is a perfect match between the grill hot plate and the water compartment).

Lighting

• Open the gas supply (valve or lever on regulator).
• Rotate the knob corresponding to the burner anti-clockwise to the maximum flow rate position ( ).

Preheating
Let the grill hotplate preheat for about 3 minutes (knobs in Grill position ( )) to reach the ideal temperature for cooking.

Cooking

• The grill hotplates are coated with high quality enamel, which allows healthy cooking. Adding a slight film of oil is recommended before any grilling.
• Because fats are collected in the water tank, cooking is perfectly healthy (no residual or burnt fats) and foods retain all their taste and smoothness.
• The grill hotplate reaches its maximum temperature (ideal for sealing grills) after about 3 minutes preheating.
• Arrange the food on the grill hotplate.
• It is also possible to modulate the intensity of cooking depending on the position of food on the grill hotplate: maximum power in the centre of each burner, more moderate towards the outside.
• When cooking is finished turn the knob corresponding to the burner clockwise to off position (•).

Switching off

• Close the regulator or gas cylinder valve.
• After the flames have gone out, close the stove valves by putting the knobs in off position (•).

REMOVING OR CHANGING THE GAS CYLINDER

• Check that the gas cylinder valve or regulator lever is in the closed position.
• Place the adjusting knobs in off position (•) by turning them clockwise.
• Disconnect the regulator from the gas cylinder.
• Install the new gas cylinder.
• Connect the regulator to the new gas cylinder (check the condition of the regulator seal, before connecting it to the gas cylinder).
