There are a few things to bear in mind when cooking in the Surfer Suite:
- Open the gas bottle (2.8kg) at the back. It is located in the rear cupboard, on the left in the bottom compartment. You need to remove the shelf and the outdoor shower. Unscrew the black plastic cap:
- Turn the brass-colored wheel towards the “+” to open:
- Open the safety lever under the kitchen unit (the lever must be in line with the direction of the pipe):
- Open both glass covers.
- Press and turn on the gas at the hob and ignite it with the black button in the middle.
Lighting the gas stove can sometimes take several attempts and/or seconds.
This is because when the gas pipe is empty, it must first fill up completely before propane gas can escape from the stove.
It is quite normal to smell a slight odor of propane gas before the stove ignites.
Please note the following:
- When cooking: raise the pop-up roof, fold up the roof bed, and always have at least one window open.
- Always close the gas bottle when driving! Please also note that, for safety reasons, the gas compartment must not be used as storage space.

Troubleshooting
No gas?
You should be able to hear a slight hiss of the gas flow and also smell the gas. If not, check the gas flow again from start to finish:
- Is the gas bottle full? Lift it or weigh it: a completely full bottle weighs about 6.4kg, an empty bottle about 3.7kg.
- Is the gas bottle open? Turn it at least 2 turns towards "+".
- Is the grey safety lever in the kitchen open? It must be in the direction of the gas line to be open. Usually, there is a sticker showing which position is open.
Stove not igniting?
You should clearly hear the click of the electric igniter. If not, check if you have switched on the 12V circuit and if the battery is sufficiently charged.
If you still don't hear the click despite working power, the electric igniter may be defective. In this case, you can carefully ignite the gas at the stove ring with a lighter.

Stove won't stay on?
Press the gas knob while turning it – you should now hear the gas flowing. Ignite now. Keep the gas knob pressed for a few more seconds after igniting the gas. This will give you a stable flame.
