Step3. Attach the end of the hose to the gas cylinder and tighten
Step4. Check that both gas controls are in the “OFF” position, then turn the cylinder gas valve on in an anti-clockwise direction for one full turn and then check the connections for leaks with soapy water. If a leak is detected turn the cylinder gas valve “OFF” and retighten all connections then retest

For connection to a caravan or camper trailer via a bayonet connection please purchase the relevant bayonet gas hose and ensure there are no leaks at any connections before using the appliance – connection to the appliance must be made by an authorised person.

OPERATION

Before use, ensure the appliance has been cleaned and any accumulated grease and cooking residue is removed. Routinely inspect the gas cylinder to ensure the cylinder is not out of date. The date stamp is typically marked on the cylinder collar.

Step2. Turn the gas cylinder valve on in an anti-clockwise direction for one full turn Step3. Turn the gas control in an anti-clockwise direction approximately Y of a turn and press the Piezo button Step4. I the burner does not ignite, turn the gas control in the clockwise direction to the “OFF” position and allow the residual gas to disperse before attempting to reignite the burner.

ADJUSTING HEAT OUTPUT

Step 1. Turn the gas control in an anti-clockwise direction to achieve a higher flame and in the clockwise direction for a lower flame.

TURNING THE STOVE OFF

After use, turn the gas cylinder valve off, wait for the flame to go out, then turn the appliance control valves off. Avoid twisting or kinking the flexible hose.
If the appliance is no longer to be used and to reduce the risk of blocked gas jets caused by excess gas being left in the hose, all remaining gas must be expelled from the hose assembly.
Step1. With the flame still operating, turn the valve on the gas cylinder in the clockwise direction until it is off. Allow the flame to burn down then extinguish once all remaining gas in the hose has been used. Step2. Turn the gas controls on the appliance clockwise to the “Off” position.
