Operating Instructions

Commissioning, Lighting
NOTE! Odours may be present when using the stove for
the first time:
When used for the first time and hot, the appliance
may emit a harmless, non-toxic odour. It is recommended
that the room should be thoroughly ventilated (by
opening doors or windows) during first time use. The
gas is not toxic, but the room should be thoroughly aired
out. During first use, it may take a short time before the
gas tube is cleared of air, but subsequently the appliance
should function as described in the lighting instruction.
The appliance operates with the aid of a pilot flame,
which is lit manually according to the lighting instruction.
Prior to lighting:
Check the area around the appliance for possible gas
leaks/odors. Especially check near the floor, since propane
is heavier than air and would gather close to the floor in
the event of a leakage. (Note: Natural gas is lighter than
air and will gather under the ceiling). If you detect an odor
of gas, see warning under: Safety precautions.
Only use your hands to operate the control knobs;
do not use tools. If you are unable to turn or push in the
control knob, do not use force. Call for service.
Do not use the appliance if any part of it has been
submerged in water. Call for service to replace the parts
that have been in water.
