Here you can find out how to cook in the Couple Cottage:
Stove
- Open the gas bottle (11kg) in the compartment on the driver side of the trunk. To turn the gas bottle on or off, turn the brass-coloured control knob to + or -.
- Then additionally set the grey safety lever (pot symbol) in the kitchen vertically. This is located in the top drawer of the kitchen:
- Open both glass covers, as the heat from cooking could cause the cover on the sink to shatter:
- To ignite the gas hob, turn the desired gas knob, press it down while simultaneously igniting with the small black switch:
Oven
- Open the gas flow as explained above in steps 1.
- Then additionally set the grey safety lever (oven symbol) in the kitchen vertically.
- Press and turn the silver knob to the highest temperature initially and press the igniter (button with star symbol):
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.
Attention
After cooking and especially when driving, be sure to close the lever and the gas bottle!
Please also note that, for safety reasons, the gas compartment must not be used as a storage space.

Troubleshooting
You should hear a faint hissing sound from the gas and also be able to smell the gas. If this is not the case, check the gas flow thoroughly from start to finish:
- Is the gas bottle full? Lift or weigh it: a completely full bottle weighs about 23 kg, an empty bottle about 12 kg.
- Is the gas bottle open? Turn it at least 2 turns towards the "+".
- Has the hose rupture protection been vented? Some models have a black button directly on the bottle valve. Press it firmly – you will hear a metallic click and this will release the air from the line.
- Is the grey safety lever in the kitchen open? It should be pointing towards the gas line to be open. There is usually a sticker showing which position is open.
If you still do not hear the click despite working power, the electric igniter may be faulty. In this case, you can carefully ignite the gas at the hob ring with a lighter.
