- Carefully remove the stove from its packaging.

- Ensure there is adequate ventilation around the appliance.
3.2 Gas Connection
Important: The RIBIMEX PRF350 is supplied without a gas hose or pressure regulator. These must be purchased separately and be compatible with your gas cylinder and local regulations. It is recommended that gas connections be made by a qualified professional.
- Connect the appropriate gas hose to the stove's gas inlet.
- Attach the pressure regulator to the gas cylinder and then connect the other end of the hose to the regulator.
- Ensure all connections are securely tightened.
- Open the gas cylinder valve slowly and check for any gas leaks using a soapy water solution. Bubbles indicate a leak. If a leak is detected, immediately close the gas valve and re-tighten connections. Do not use the stove if a leak persists.
