Before first use
• Ventilation openings should remain unob-structed.
• If necessary, remove snow from the flue and/or mount the flue
extension.
• Remove any dirt and snow/debris mixture from the suction
openings under the vehicle floor; otherwise, the levels of carbon
monoxide could increase to dangerous levels.
• The safety ventilation openings may not be closed.
• We recommend that you keep a fire extinguisher that uses
drying powder, with a capacity of at least 1 kg, by the entry
door, as well as a fire blanket by the cooker. Ensure that everyo-
ne is familiar with the fire prevention measures on site (see also
2.1 General information).

ties operate the following devices:

The gas-bottle container holds two 11 kg bottles of propane gas
j
. The gas bottles are connected to the supply line by a safety
regulator hose
by means of two belts
Rules for the gas-bottle container:
• Before every trip, check that gas bottles are securely fastened.
Place them in an upright position and shut the valves.
• Re-lash all loose belts.
• Using a leak indicator, inspect the regulator connection for leaks
every time you change a bottle.
• The gas-bottle container is not suitable for transporting acces-
sories (e.g. outer tent).
• The main shutoff valves on the gas bottles must always be easi-
ly accessible.
Read the operating instructions from the manufacturer
carefully.
Never use portable cooking or heat-ing equipment, ex-
cept for electrical heating equipment (note the power
consumption), but not radiant heat-ers, because the-
se may cause a fire or risk of suffocation.
