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 m 3 /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.

– 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.
C – 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 stove at low power when using flat metallic utensils such as a toaster or a rack for toasting bread.
Never use your equipment without having first assembled the feet.
Lighting the burner (fig. 4)
– 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”).

for combustion and avoiding any build-up of a dangerous mixture of non-burnt gas (2 m 3 /h/kW minimum).
