🔄 Changing an empty gas bottle - Cozy Cottage (Knaus VAN TI PLUS)

To change the gas bottles (2 x 11 kg), several steps must be followed to ensure safe handling:
  1. Set the shut-off valves behind the flap under the sink horizontally to close them.
  2. The gas compartment is on the passenger side. Pull up the black knob to slide out the gas bottles:
  3. First check that neither bottle contains any more gas and, if necessary, just change the hose on the bottle that is still full.

  4. If one or both bottles are empty, close them anyway at the brass-coloured valve.

  5. Unscrew the connector from the gas bottle by hand (note: left-hand thread).

  6. Loosen the straps around the gas bottle.

  7. Take the bottle out of the compartment and replace it with a full one.

  8. Securely fasten the bottle again with the straps.
  9. Screw the connector onto the gas bottle by hand (note: left-hand thread).
  10. Press the black pipe safety catch directly next to the bottle. You will hear a metallic click as soon as the button is properly engaged.
  11. Open the bottle at the brass-coloured valve.

Attention

  • Do not use any tools to screw the connector onto the gas bottle, otherwise it may not be possible to unscrew it!

  • Be sure to close the shut-off valves and the gas bottles while driving!

  • Please also note that for safety reasons the gas compartment must not be used as a storage space.

Please note that bottles purchased outside Germany may require an adapter. Here you will find all possible adapters and information about gas suppliers abroad.
