liquid gas
(propane, butane) (no natural
gas or town gas)

the burner needs cleaning at shorter inter-

travelling only on the condition that the gas
system of the vehicle is equipped with a
hose rupture protection. The national regu-
lations of the respective country must be
observed.

could occur starting from an altitude above
sea level of approx. 3280 ft. / 1000 m (
No

On the initial refrigerator start-up or after a
cylinder change, air may be trapped in the
gas line. To purge the air from the lines,
switch on the refrigerator and any other gas
appliances (e.g. stove) for a short time. The
gas ignites without delay.

equipped with an automatic flame safety
valve which interrupts the gas supply auto-
matically after approx. 30 seconds when
the flame has extinguished.

mode :
