8.3 Gas consumption
Example A full 11 kg gas bottle is sufficient to:
Cook for 3 days using one flame,
Heat for 22 hours on full output or
Cool for 25 days.
8.4 Changing gas bottles
Use only 11 kg or 5 kg gas bottles. Camping gas bottles with built-in
check valve (blue bottle with max. 2.5 or 3 kg content) are can be used
in exceptional cases with a safety valve.
Use the shortest possible tube lengths (150 cm max.) for external gas
bottles.
Never block the floor ventilation openings below the gas bottles.
For gas-operated units the gas pressure must be reduced to 30 mbar.
Connect gas pressure regulator complete with safety valve directly to bottle
valve.
The gas pressure regulator reduces the gas pressure in the gas bottle
down to the operating pressure of the gas devices.
For filling and connecting the gas bottles in Europe the accessories shops
have corresponding Euro filling sets and Euro bottle sets.
Information available at the dealers or service centre.
For information on the gas supply in Europe see chapter 17.
The data about gas consumption of the individual gas devices is standard
average values.
Appliances Gas consumption in grams/hour
Heater Approx. 170 - 490 g/h
Cooker, per cooker Approx. 140 - 165 g/h
Refrigerator Approx. 18 g/h
When changing gas bottles, do not smoke or create any open fire.
When you have changed the gas bottle, check whether gas escapes at
the connection points and unions. Use a leakage search spray to spray
the relevant connection point or union. These agents are available at the
accessories shop.
