3. Safety Information

WARNING: Failure to follow these safety instructions may result in fire, explosion, property damage, personal injury, or death. This appliance must be installed and used in accordance with local regulations and manufacturer's instructions.

• Ventilation: Always ensure adequate ventilation when operating the gas stove. Do not use in unventilated or small, confined spaces.
• Gas Cylinder: Use only approved gas cylinders (LPG) up to 15 kg. Ensure the gas cylinder is correctly installed and secured within the designated compartment.
• Leak Checks: Before each use and after changing a gas cylinder, perform a leak check using soapy water. Never use an open flame to check for leaks.
• Flame Failure Safety Device: This device automatically cuts off the gas supply if the flame extinguishes, preventing gas leakage.
• Oxygen Depletion Sensor (ODS): The ODS monitors the oxygen level in the room. If oxygen levels drop below a safe threshold, the stove will automatically shut off. Do not tamper with or bypass this safety feature.
• Anti-Tilt Device: The stove is equipped with a mechanism that shuts off the gas supply if the unit is accidentally knocked over.
• Placement: Place the stove on a stable, level, non-combustible surface, away from flammable materials, curtains, and furniture. Maintain minimum clearances as specified in local regulations.
• Children and Pets: Keep children and pets away from the operating stove. The surface of the stove becomes hot during use.
• Storage: Store gas cylinders in a well-ventilated area, away from heat sources and direct sunlight.
• Maintenance: Do not attempt to repair or modify the appliance yourself. Contact qualified service personnel for any repairs.

4. Setup and Gas Cylinder Installation

4.1 Unpacking

Carefully remove the stove from its packaging. Inspect for any damage during transit. Retain packaging for future storage or transport.
