To change the gas cylinders (11 kg), several steps must be followed to ensure safe handling:
- Close the shut-off valves behind the flap under the cooker.
- Find the gas bottle (11kg) in the gas compartment. This is located on the outside, on the driver side. Use the medium sized key to open, if locked:
- Turn the gas cylinder in the direction of the "-" sign on the brass-coloured control knob to close it (even if it is empty):
- Unscrew the connector from the gas cylinder by hand (note: left-hand thread turns the other way than usual).
- Loosen the straps around the gas cylinder.
- Remove the cylinder from the compartment and replace it with a full one.
- Secure the bottle again with the straps.
- Screw the connection piece onto the gas cylinder by hand (note: left-hand thread).
- Your new gas bottle is ready for use.
Caution
- Do not use any tools to screw the connector onto the gas cylinder, as it may not be possible to unscrew it!
- Always close the stopcocks and the gas cylinders while driving!
- Please also note that the gas compartment must not be used as a storage space for safety reasons.
Please note that cylinders purchased outside Germany may require an adapter. You can find all possible adapters and information about gas suppliers abroad here.
