PUTTING INTO OPERATION

INSTALLING THE CAMPINGAZ° CV 270 PLUS / CV 300 PLUS/CV470 PLUS CARTRIDGE
(Where the existing cartridge is empty, read paragraph D: “Removing the cartridge”) When installing or changing a cartridge, always operate in a very well-ventilated location, preferably outside, never near a flame, heat source or spark (cigarette, electric apparatus, etc.) and far away from other people and inflammable materials. AS CAMPINGAZ® CV 270 PLUS / CV 300 PLUS / CV 470 PLUS CARTRIDGES ARE VALVE-OPERATED, THEY CAN BE DETACHED FROM THE EQUIPMENT, EASILY TRANSPORTED (EVEN WHEN NOT EMPTY), AND FITTED TO OTHER CAMPINGAZ® EQUIPMENT IN THE 270 PLUS / 300 PLUS / 470 PLUS RANGE DESIGNED TO OPERATE EXCLUSIVELY WITH THESE CARTRIDGES.- Check that the gas supply is fully turned off by turning the control wheel (1) clockwise as far as the handle (“-” direction of the arrow) (fig. 3).
- Hold the lamp (caution – it may be hot!) and gently screw the cartridge onto the lamp clockwise until you hear a click (about one sixth of a turn) (Fig. 2).
Do not tighten the cartridge further, as you may damage its valve. If there is a leak (smell of gas), put the lamp outside immediately, in a well-ventilated area, without heat source, where the leak can be traced and stopped. If you wish to check that your lamp is not leaking, do so outside. Never trace leaks using a flame, use a gas leak solution.
-
Fitting the mantle
- Remove the handle (2) by pulling the sides outwards (fig. 4)
- Open the cover (5) and remove the glass (fig. 7)
- Slide the mantle (6) onto the burner (4), with the larger hole facing downwards; slot the mantle into the grooves of the burner) (fig. 8).
-
Burning the mantle for the first time (do this outside)
- Do not sWItCH on tHe GAs, hold a naked flame (cigarette lighter or match) close to the mantle (fig. 9).
- Allow it to burn up completely (smoke is given off) until it looks like a black ball.
- Replace the glass taking care to push it well into the lower cup in the cage (smallest diameter hole towards the bottom). Make sure the spring penetrates inside the glass (the spring must be vertical to the inside of the glass (Fig. 12).
- Tip the lid (5) onto the lamp (Fig. 10) and replace the bail (2) by unfolding its arms (Fig. 5).
The lamp is now ready to operate.
USE
Additional instructions :
Do not use your lamp at a distance closer than 20 cm to a wall or flammable object, nor closer than 40 cm to a ceiling (distance measured from lamp cover). Place the lamp on a horizontal surface or hang it vertically. Avoid making any sudden movements with the lamp, to prevent large flames from appearing, caused by the combustion of liquid butane instead of vaporized butane. If this occurs, extinguish the lamp by closing the tap. If there is a leak (i.e. you can smell gas), close the tap. Do not operate the lamp if the mantle is torn (there is a risk that the glass might break). only replace it with a special Campingaz® mantle. Remove the damaged mantle and blow onto the burner to get rid of any dust that has accumulated there, then proceed as indicated in the “Fitting the mantle” and “Burning the mantle” sections. When in use (or immediately after it is turned off), the heat given off by the burner makes some parts of the lamp extremely hot (including the cover and the handle if the lamp has been used hanging vertically). It is dangerous to touch these parts with bare hands. Doing so can cause serious burns.
Lighting the Lumogaz Plus (Fig. 11)
- Introduce a lighted match into the opening between the top of the glass (3) and the cover (5).
- Gradually open the gas by turning the control knob (1) anti-clockwise.
switching off
Close the tap by turning the control knob (1) clockwise as far as it will go
(direction “-” of the arrow) (fig. 3). Well-tighten the wheel to ensure that
the gas is completely turned off.
REMOVING THE CARTRIDGE
The cartridge may be removed even if it is not empty. Replace the cartridge outside and away from other people.
- Wait for the lamp to cool down.
- Check that the gas supply is fully turned off by turning the control wheel (1) clockwise to its full extent (fig. 3).
- Hold the equipment, then unscrew the cartridge by turning it anti-clockwise and removing it (fig. 13).
Never throw away a cartridge that is not completely empty, (check there is no liquid in the cartridge by shaking it).
MAINTENANCE, STORAGE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
In case of burn back (ignition under the burner cap) switch the product off, allow it to cool down (approximately five minutes), then reignite the appliance. If the problem of burn back persists, then please contact your local Campingaz® representative.
once your equipment has fully cooled:
- Remove the cartridge as shown in paragraph D.
- 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).
