Safety instructions
• Children cannot recognise the risks that are present
when operating gas appliances, therefore, keep
children away from it and never leave the appliance
unsupervised.
• Place the gas cooker on a level and stable surface,
and maintain a minimum distance of 25 cm on all
sides to walls and other objects as well as a minimum free distance of 120 cm above it.
Ensure that the air circulation from below is not
and cannot be hindered.
• Only use the gas cooker outdoors!
• Avoid direct sunlight and proximity to other sources
of heat or strong wind.
• In a car or caravan and with appropriate direct
sunlight, high temperatures can be
produced! You should therefore never store the
gas cooker in a vehicle when a gas canister is
fitted!
• Maintain a sufficient distance to all flammable
objects and sources of heat, such as heating
appliances.
• Never operate the gas cooker close to electrical
appliances.
• Never smoke when you are using the gas cooker.
There is the risk of an explosion!
• Never use the gas cooker close to easily inflammable materials, such as matches or petrol.
Do not use aerosol sprays close to the gas cooker.
There is the risk of an explosion!
• Do not leave the appliance unattended when it
is in use! The gas cooker must be constantly
supervised by the user during the whole period
of use.
• Do not use cooking utensils with a diameter larger
than 26 cm. They would protude over the canister
shaft and could cause overheating of the canister.
• NEVER place several gas cookers under one
cooking vessel. This could lead to overheating of
the canister.
• Do not connect the gas cooker to an external
gas supply.
• NEVER use the gas cooker in its packaging or in
a container.
Caution!
Accessible parts may become very hot. Keep young
children away from the appliance. If possible,
wear oven gloves when touching the appliance.
• Under no circumstances should you, during and
directly after use, touch the burner head or the
catchment bowl. There is a risk of being burnt!
• NEVER use the gas cooker without the catchment
bowl and, during use, never transport the gas
cooker.
• Do not use the gas cooker if it is defective or
damaged.
• Check that seals (between the appliance and
the gas container) are in place and good condition before connecting to the gas container.
• Do not use the appliance if it has a damaged or
worn sealing washer.
• Do not use an appliance that is leaky, visibly
damaged or is not functioning as it should.
• Use the appliance only for cooking and grilling
as detailed in these operating instructions.
NEVER use this gas cooker as a heating or drying
appliance. Do not use this appliance for igniting
a fire. Improper use leads to the loss of all claims
provided for under the warranty provisions.
• Do not make any modifications to the appliance.

Information regarding the interaction
with gas canisters:
• Inflammable gas is under pressure.
Attention!
Do not refill!
• Protect it from direct sunlight and do not subject
it to temperatures exceeding 50° C.
• Store at a cool and dry location. Ensure that the
location is well ventilated.
• Dispose of the canister at a safe location.
• Even when it is empty, the canister may not be
punctured or burnt.
• Do not spray against flames or onto glowing objects.
• Keep it well away from ignitable sources - do not
smoke.
• Do not permit the canister to come into the
hands of children!
• This canister may only be used with the Butane
Gas Cooker KH 4202!
• Observe the operating instructions for the relevant
appliance!
• This canister conforms with Standard EN 417.
• Exchange gas canister in a well ventilated location, preferably outside, away from any sources
of ignition, such as naked flames, pilots, electric
fires and away from other people.
Conduct in the event of a gas leak
If there is a strong smell of gas or you can hear gas
leaking, it will be coming from either the canister or
from the gas cooker. Should this occur:
• Immediately place the regulator valve at the
position OFF.
• Place the clamping lever at the position 0 to loosen
the canister from the valve.
When the canister allows itself to be released,
remove it from the gas canister shaft and isolate
it from the gas cooker.
• Provide for sufficient air circulation. Keep the
appliance away from all sources of ignition.
• Should the leak come from the gas cooker and
it cannot be stopped, move the gas cooker to
a well ventilated location that is distant from all
possible sources of ignition.
• NEVER search for a leak with an open flame, use
a soapy solution!
• Discontinue use of the gas cooker if the gas leak
has come from the gas cooker. In this case, contact
the Service Centre.
Automatic Safety Cut-Off
In the case of over-pressure in the gas canister, for
example by overheating, the valve on the gas cooker
actuates the clamping lever and separates the canister
from the valve.
In this case, wait until the canister has cooled sufficiently,
and the pressure has fallen, before continuing to use
the gas cooker.
Resetting the Safety Cut-Off
• Place the clamping lever in the position 0 and
remove the canister.
• Place the regulator valve in the ignite position to
burn off the remaining gas.
• Place the regulator valve back into the position OFF.
• Place the clamping lever into position 1 and then
back into position 0.
Determine the likeliest possible cause for over-pressure
in the canister.
Possible causes could be:
- The gas cooker was being used in direct sunlight.
- The cooking vessel is too large and caused
a build-up of heat.
- insufficient ventilation.
• If possible, continue use with a new and sufficiently
cool canister. For this, refer to the instructions in
the chapter “Commissioning”.
