Conduct in the event of a gas leak

Information regarding the interaction with gas canisters:

• Inflammable gas is under pressure.

Automatic Safety Cut-Off Attention!

Do not refill!

Protect it from direct sunlight and do not subject it to temperatures exceeding 50° C.

Store at a cool and dry location. Ensure that the location is well ventilated.

Dispose of the canister at a safe location.

Even when it is empty, the canister may not be punctured or burnt.

Do not spray against flames or onto glowing objects.

Keep it well away from ignitable sources - do not smoke.

Do not permit the canister to come into the hands of children!

This canister may only be used with the Butane Gas Cooker KH 4202!

Observe the operating instructions for the relevant appliance!

This canister conforms with Standard EN 417.

Exchange gas canister in a well ventilated loca- tion, preferably outside, away from any sources of ignition, such as naked flames, pilots, electric fires and away from other people.

Conduct in the event of a gas leak

If there is a strong smell of gas or you can hear gas leaking, it will be coming from either the canister or from the gas cooker. Should this occur:

Immediately place the regulator valve at the position OFF.

Place the clamping lever at the position 0 to loosen the canister from the valve.

When the canister allows itself to be released, remove it from the gas canister shaft and isolate it from the gas cooker.

Provide for sufficient air circulation. Keep the appliance away from all sources of ignition.

Should the leak come from the gas cooker and it cannot be stopped, move the gas cooker to a well ventilated location that is distant from all possible sources of ignition.

NEVER search for a leak with an open flame, use a soapy solution!

Discontinue use of the gas cooker if the gas leak has come from the gas cooker. In this case, contact the Service Centre.

Automatic Safety Cut-Off

In the case of over-pressure in the gas canister, for example by overheating, the valve on the gas cooker actuates the clamping lever and separates the canister from the valve.

In this case, wait until the canister has cooled sufficiently, and the pressure has fallen, before continuing to use the gas cooker.

Resetting the Safety Cut-Off

Place the clamping lever in the position 0 and remove the canister.

Place the regulator valve in the ignite position to burn off the remaining gas.

Place the regulator valve back into the position OFF.

Place the clamping lever into position 1 and then back into position 0.

Determine the likeliest possible cause for over-pressure in the canister.

Possible causes could be:

-The gas cooker was being used in direct sunlight.

-The cooking vessel is too large and caused a build-up of heat.

-insufficient ventilation.

If possible, continue use with a new and sufficiently cool canister. For this, refer to the instructions in the chapter “Commissioning”.
