• Ensure all gas connections are tight and secure before opening the gas cylinder valve.
• Never leave the appliance unattended while in operation.

3. Setup

1. Unpack: Carefully remove the appliance from its packaging. Ensure all components are present and undamaged.
2. Placement: Place the appliance on a stable, level, non-combustible surface in a well-ventilated outdoor area. Ensure there is sufficient clearance from any combustible materials above and around the unit.
3. Gas Cylinder Connection:
   • Ensure the appliance control knobs are in the 'OFF' position.
   • Connect the appropriate gas regulator (not supplied) to a suitable LPG gas cylinder.
   • Connect the regulator hose to the appliance's gas inlet. Hand-tighten all connections securely. Do not overtighten.
4. Leak Test: After connecting the gas cylinder, perform a leak test. Apply a soapy water solution to all gas connections. If bubbles appear, there is a leak. Tighten connections or replace faulty parts. Do not use the appliance until all leaks are resolved.

4. Operating Instructions

1. Open Gas Supply: Ensure the gas cylinder valve is fully open.
2. Ignition (Hob):
   • Turn the control knob for the desired hob burner counter-clockwise to the 'ON' position.
   • Immediately press and hold the ignition button. You should hear a click and see the burner ignite.
   • If the burner does not light within a few seconds, release the ignition button, turn the control knob to 'OFF', wait a few moments, and repeat the process. If it still doesn't light, use a long-stemmed lighter to manually ignite the burner.
3. Ignition (Grill):
   • Turn the control knob for the grill burner counter-clockwise to the 'ON' position.
   • Press and hold the ignition button.
   • If the grill burner does not light, follow the same manual ignition procedure as for the hob burners.
4. Adjusting Flame: Once lit, adjust the flame intensity by rotating the control knob between the 'LOW' and 'HIGH' settings.
5. Turning Off: To turn off the appliance, first turn all control knobs to the 'OFF' position. Then, close the valve on the gas cylinder.

5. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Allow the appliance to cool completely before cleaning. Clean cooking surfaces, grill pan, and the body with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
• Storage: Ensure the appliance is completely clean and dry before storing. Disconnect the gas cylinder and store it separately according to its manufacturer's instructions. Store the appliance in a dry, well-ventilated area, protected from dust and moisture.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the gas hose and connections for any signs of wear, cracks, or damage. Replace any damaged components immediately with genuine Kampa Dometic parts.

6. Troubleshooting

  • Verify that the igniter is sparking. If not, use a manual long-stemmed lighter.
  • Ensure the control knob is fully turned to the 'ON' position.
• Low flame or inconsistent flame:
  • Check the gas cylinder level. It may be running low.
  • Ensure the gas hose is not kinked or obstructed.
  • Verify that the gas regulator is functioning correctly.
• Gas smell:
  • Immediately turn off the gas supply at the cylinder.
